Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass
He didn't "snub" Bibi. The National Post states that "An Israeli official told Reuters on condition of anonymity that Netanyahu’s aides had asked for a meeting when he visits the United Nations this month, and 'the White House has got back to us and said it appears a meeting is not possible. It said that the president’s schedule will not permit that.'" (Barack Obama rejects Benjamin Netanyahu meeting request after PM says U.S. has no ‘moral right’ to stop Israeli attack on Iran | World | News | National Post)
Thus, it was a scheduling problem rather than a purposeful snub.
Obama just pissed off Israel (snubbing Netanyahu) and ONLY condemned the death of a US ambassador within days. His foreign policy abilities are on full display. Bush would have embraced Israel and had an aircraft carrier on its way.
