President Obama has turned down a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet when the Prime Minister is in the U.S. later in the month.

The White House is saying that scheduling conflicts will keep the President from being able to meet, but they quickly offered him a chance to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Congressman Ted Poe of Texas made mention of the President's campaigning when he spoke with Fox News Radio.

What do you think?  Is this alright that the President is passing the Prime Minister along or should he stop campaigning to meet with him?
