Why No White House Photo Op for Netanyahu?

President Obama will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday evening. He had been playing hard to get.

The White House announced Sunday that President Barack Obama would be meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu during the Israeli prime minister’s trip to Washington, ending days of uncertainty.

An Obama administration official confirmed the two leaders would meet but had no immediate information about what would be on their agenda.

The prime minister’s plane landed at Washington’s Andrews Air Force Base Airport on Sunday evening (local time). Israel has yet to be informed of the exact time of the meeting with Obama.

I suppose we should just get used to Obama’s rudeness towards our allies in the world. But the snub of Bibi goes even farther than stringing him along. According to Chuck Todd‘s latest tweet, the press will not be invited to cover the event.

chucktodd Last major world leader to come to White House for a presidential meeting and NOT get some photo-op? I’m stumped @markknoller

Replychucktodd The Obama-Netanyahu meeting tomorrow will be in private; no media allowed in even for a minimal “pool spray.”

I’m not stumped. Obama doesn’t like our allies – especially conservative ones willing to stand up to the world’s bullies.
