The White House pool reporter says an unnamed official claims President Obama offered to have an "encounter" with his Iranian counterpart, but was turned down:

Senior administration officials came to pool hold around 2:45pm to say that the White House had offered to have "an encounter" on the sidelines of UNGA with Iranian President Rouhani, but the Iranians informed the US today that it is "too complicated for Iranians to do at this point."

Obozo was dismissed like a brain damaged leper. Same as Putin did

I’m blaming Barry’s years in the Choom gang while Putin was a KGB man learning how to kill someone with a Bic pen

President Obama offered to have an “encounter”

Anyone having an “encounter” with Obamaumau is in for a stiff surprise.

Sure nice to know electing him improved our status in the world so dramatically, isn’t it? Just think how poorly we’d be regarded if it were anyone else...

Another foreign policy embarrassment is going to make him double down on his domestic agenda. Three more years of hell.

so how do they spin this?

By quoting one of Obama's spokespeople of course:

"The Iranians have an internal dynamic that they have to manage and the relationship with the United States is clearly quite different than the relationship that Iran has with other Western nations..."

As in this Politico story. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/09/obama-hassan-rouhani-meeting-97278.html

Of course the story mentions NOTHING of the monumental embarrasment that the Iranian turndown represents. Nor does it mention the utter shambles that our State Department has to be in to recommend an invitation without having a clue that it would be turned down.

Yes, it has only taken 4 years and change to fall to this low position on the world stage. Problem is he is playing Spades and Putin is playing Texas Hold’em and Putin is not Reggie Love.

Given the pretzeled logic of taqiyya I doubt that this mullah would ever meet with hussein knowing that he’s a homosexual, and that that stain would then be publically put upon him.

Of course, privately, Rahani has his stables full, I’d bet.
