Not good... especially if he's playing golf when Netanyahu is in town.
=================== White House declines Netanyahu request to meet with Obama The White House's response marks a new low in relations between Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first time Netanyahu will visit the U.S. as prime minister without meeting Obama. By Barak Ravid| Sep.11, 2012 | 8:10 PM The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month. An official in Jerusalem said that the prime minister's office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obama's schedule does not allow for a meeting. FULL STORY |

Quoted:
American Jews will continue to vote for B. Hussein Obama en masse. I know several that will not, but I know of at least as many that will. 
An encouraging sign locally, in a predominately Jewish part of town, Obama signs are conspicuously absent from the yards where they were everywhere in '08. |
. Uncool.

I didn't know that a request much less than a month out and with only a three day window required the POTUS to cancel everything and meet in order to make sure everyone on ARFCOM isn't peeved.
Remember our angst and mangina aches whenever we perceive that Obama is being too courteous to foreign leaders? Problem solved. |

Quoted:
He selling the israelies to the arabs, and is afraid that the PM of Israel is going to confront him. Or it's going to interfer with his vacation plans for trip number 87.  It's because every time they have a meeting, Obama looks like a complete amateur. Which he is. Obama can't take the embarrassment. I don't like a lot of Netanyahu's personal views, but he is significantly more intelligent than Obama, especially when it comes to unscripted meetings. |

Obama has been kissing the asses of our ENEMIES (declared or not). Are you drinking and posting today? |

Remember our angst and mangina aches whenever we perceive that Obama is being too courteous to foreign leaders? Problem solved. This is politics; it's 90% perception. Telling the leader of a friendly nation that's on the brink of war that you cannot receive him, a month away  because you're fucking busy is bad press. Period.AFAIK, Presidential itineraries aren't even supposed to run farther out than a week anyway for security reasons  Speed |

Quoted:
Romney ought to try a schedule a visit with PM Netanyahu. It would give him some foreign relations cred and be a slap in the face to Obama.  Mitt and Bibi are actually really good friends, they go way back. link |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: American Jews will continue to vote for B. Hussein Obama en masse. But even a 5% drop in the Jewish vote could be decisive in Fla... I think oblameo can write off Fla at this point. I think he's lost the Jewish vote. What about OH?  Don't think it will make an impact here, I work in the Jewish community sometimes. Every single one I know is conservative and dislikes oblameo. |

An encouraging sign locally, in a predominately Jewish part of town, Obama signs are conspicuously absent from the yards where they were everywhere in '08. the majority will still vote for the democrat regardless. |

My in laws, who live in Florida voted zero last time.
They recently registered as republicans. Last election, every other car at Temple sported a zero tag. This year, so far, only two have been spotted with 2012 ones. Hopefully, learning has ocured in the last four years. |
