Romney Criticizes Obama For Not Meeting Netanyahu

1 hour ago • Associated Press

Republican Mitt Romney is criticizing President Barack Obama for not planning to meet in person with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week, calling it "confusing and troubling."

Romney said at a New York fundraiser Friday that Israel is America's "closest ally" and "best friend in the Middle East." He urged Obama to meet with Netanyahu surrounding the start of United Nations General Assembly meetings next week.

The White House has denied published reports that Obama had rejected Netanyahu's request for a meeting with the president in Washington next week, saying no such request was made or rejected.

Is the way to win a general election?

It was his modus operandi in the primaries, but it's not the conventional way to operate in a general election. You might send your surrogates out to criticize the president, but rarely does the candidate him or herself engage in this kind of constant insult and negative attack. Especially when you're not presenting anything positive about how you would handle things.
