You’d think at a time of such volatility in the Middle East that Obama would be willing to meet with world leaders while they are in the country, especially those from the Middle East. My guess is that since he turned down a request to meet with Netanyahu, he’s shunning them all so that he can say he didn’t have time to meet with any leaders to lessen the impact of his refusal to meet with Netanyahu.
