He’s not going to visit the US for now.

Probably waiting until Valerie Jarrett is no longer in power. This is what “smart diplomacy” looks like, I guess.

Six years ago, Obama goes to Cairo. Proclaims a new era. Today, Arab leaders won't come to Camp David.

What the Saudi snub really means, and other disconcerting thoughts from Mike Morell:

I’d be a little careful in saying that this is an intentional snub. We may learn in next 24 or 48 hours that it’s really health reasons or something. … But having said that, there is deep, deep frustration on the part of our Sunni Arab allies in the Middle East with U.S. policy. They are deeply concerned about Iran and the challenges it poses. To them Iran is a much bigger threat than al Qaeda and ISIS. They’re worried about us from two perspectives. Are we taking Iran as seriously as we should? And are we as focused on Iran’s regional behavior as we are on the nuclear program? The deeper fear they have is that over time the United States sees Iran as a more natural partner than the Sunni Arabs. You see these deep concerns reflected in what they say and do. My view, strongly held, is that we should be helping them push back against the Iranian desire for dominance in the region.

President Jarrett disagrees.
