Obama offers to meet with new Egyptian President Morsi
President Obama has invited Egypt’s new president to meet him in New York when the United Nations General Assembly convenes in September, an administration official confirmed to The Hill.The invitation to Mohammed Morsi, a member of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, a group with a violent past, could raise concerns among lawmakers who have questioned continued U.S. support for Egypt.
The Obama administration has taken steps to reach out to Morsi, arguing he is committed to the Arab Spring revolution and will respect the results of democratic elections.
Obama Refuses to meet with new Israel’s Old PM Netanyahu
The White House has rejected a request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet President Barack Obama in the United States this month, an Israeli official said on Tuesday, after a row erupted between the allies over Iran’s nuclear programme.
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”.
Netanyahu has met with Obama on all the Israeli leader’s U.S. trips since 2009.
One day, people will look at the video of these days, in these years in the same way we see the man with the umbrella waving that piece of paper after getting off the airplane from Munich.
The same way.

Hi Epa.
Had that story already yesterday.
Egypt says its president will visit the United States next month, his first trip there since taking office June 30. Presidential spokesman Yasser Ali told reporters Wednesday that Mohammed Morsi’s three-day visit starts Sept. 23.
It will include Washington and New York, where he will attend the U.N. General Assembly session. President Obama arrives in New York for the UN on Monday, September 24th and departs on Tuesday, September 25th.
Flashback 09 July - Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsy, who was elected President of Egypt last month, has been invited to visit the United States while he is in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly in September.
Actually it's completely credible and unsurprising.
We can also expect the bill to repair any damages sustained due to our citizens nasty, moronic, penchant for hurting religious feelings.
Again, I won't be surprised.
