The White House is denying that they refused to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of a U.N. conference later this month.
"The President arrives in New York for the U.N. on Monday, September 24th and departs on Tuesday, September 25th," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
"The Prime Minister doesn't arrive in New York until later in the week. They're simply not in the city at the same time. But the President and PM are in frequent contact and the PM will meet with other senior officials, including Secretary Clinton, during his visit," Vietor said.

Romney should go meet him, and announce it BEFORE Obozo can reverse himself.
I really think Obama feels Israel doesn’t mean anything to his supporters or the so called independents and he is probably right
The lost Jewish vote is a non issue
Most Jews live in certain areas and since enough will remain with him where it counts he probably doesn’t care about lost votes that won’t be enough to lose in the states that are locks
I think you are mistaken.
If they believed Israel is irrelevant to their supporters they would not have first sent Sen. Durbin out to try and bluster his way through the omission of the Jerusalem language from the Democratic Party platform, they would not have changed it, and they wouldn’t have let Debbie Wasserman Schultz go on and on claiming that President Obama insisted that it be put back in and that its omission was a technical oversight.
The fact is that some of the states that have reasonably-large Jewish populations are swing states, including Florida, Ohio and perhaps even Pennsylvania. I saw a poll today that showed Jewish support for Obama down to 59% — still high, but nothing like it used to be.
Moreover, many of the financial backers of the Democrats are Jewish, and if they are not longer able to convince themselves that Obama is a friend of Israel they will not support him financially.
I think that this year the votes of Jews can play a significant role, and that Obama’s strategists believe that Israel sits in a warm place in the Jewish consciousness, notwithstanding its pariah status among progressives and academics (but I repeat myself).

Do you remember this official White House photograph from 2009, which was described as Obama speaking on the phone to Netanyahu? I think that we all have learned that showing the soles of your shoes to someone is regarded as an insulting display of contempt to that person.
Obama has a history of treating Israel with utter disrespect.
Obama can’t open his eyes without lying. It’s uncanny.

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
This is politico. Their reservoir of water for obama is overflowing.
I think they are as bad as MSNBC.
Somehow I think Bibi would have got himself there a couple of days earlier if he were schedule to meet with Barry.

Israeli article on an official Israeli science site...it says the WHLFCOLB.pdf is a forgery without hedging.
According to other reports, Netanyahu made clear he was willing to make a special trip to DC to meet with Obama, but was still refused.
And meet in Washington while Barry is shooting hoops or is out of town pimping for cash!
Capped off with plenty of hugs for photo ops.
Holy cow, this must be satire.
