U.S. President Barack Obama told CNN he will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in March because his trip to Washington comes too close to Israel's upcoming elections.

"I'm declining to meet with him simply because our general policy is, we don't meet with any world leader two weeks before their election," Obama told Fareed Zakaria in an interview which will air Sunday and of which excerpts were released Wednesday.

"I think that's inappropriate, and that's true with some of our closest allies," he added.

The President said the United States and Britain had to quickly to put together a trip to Washington for Prime Minister David Cameron this month for the same reason Obama wasn't meeting with Netanyahu. Cameron didn't want to make it closer to his country's May elections.

"He insisted that if he wants to come -- and it was a very important meeting -- he needs to be far away enough from the election that it doesn't look like in some ways we're meddling or putting our thumbs on the scale," Obama said

"I'm declining to meet with him simply because our general policy is, we don't meet with any world leader two weeks before their election,"

But he'll meet with any Muslim tyrant or Communist dictator anytime, anywhere as long as there is a golf course nearby.

Reminds me of Bill Clinton when asked why he had an affair with Monica.

“Because I could”.

No one in the press pressed him on it.

[Rome2000]

Communist faggot asshole actually believes he can operate without consequence.

[DariusBane]

Meddling in the Israeli election?

Isn't his election team working for the opposition to the current Israeli government?

[Ray76]

Obama lies. If you like Netanyahu you can keep Netanyahu. (meanwhile he works for his defeat)

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

How many billions do we send to Israel each year in money and weapons? Netanyahu is walking a thin tightrope.

[fivecatsandadog]

Asshole. He won’t meet with him because it’s too close to the Israeli election, but he’ll send his “consultants” over there to manipulate that election.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Dressed for Halloween? Any date for this? Looks like Michele on the right of the photo. Why is he dressed like this, for an event?

Never know what he’s got in his closet!
