Very busy President Obama to appear on Letterman next week?

National Journal is reporting that President Obama will return to the “Late Show with David Letterman” next Tuesday during a trip to New York.

The announcement comes on the heels of reports that the White House has denied a request for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his U.S. visit this month due to “conflicting travel schedules.” (The White House denies the request was made.)

Other sources have yet to confirm the appearance, and a lot can happen in a week; say, the storming of U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya. Still, experience shows that the Obamas have a lot of time for David Letterman.

Maybe they should stash Netanyahu in the wings on the Letterman stage.

Remember America, when it comes to his "full" schedule — according to Obama Letterman is greater than Netanyahu.

Obama won't meet with leader of Israel even as war looms between them and Iran but will take time to go on Letterman.

Obama can't fit Netanyahu mtg on schedule but plenty of time to do Letterman. Oh, that's right…no "Applause" sign. #wiright #gop @wisgop

Obama: too busy for Israel (but not for Letterman). Let's make sure his calendar is clear starting Jan 2013.
