Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama talked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a call Tuesday night about the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program, according to a White House statement.

Obama placed the call to Netanyahu, a senior administration official told CNN.

The one-paragraph statement from the White House, which referred to the Obama-Netanyahu discussion as "a part of their ongoing consultations," followed reports earlier in the day that the White House had rejected a request by Netanyahu to meet with Obama this month to discuss Iran's nuclear program.

"Contrary to reports in the press, there was never a request for Prime Minister Netanyahu to meet with President Obama in Washington, nor was a request for a meeting ever denied," the White House said Tuesday night in its statement, which made reference to "our close cooperation on Iran and other security issues."

to win, and if you fight me, you're going to lose. Have a great evening, Biibster."

2. But Netenyahu Wanted A Public Meeting in Person As A Favor...

...to his close friend Sheldon Adelson so that Beni could make a public spectacle of claiming that President Obama is pro-Iran. Isn't it great when you are so rich that world leaders are willing to be campaign props?

3. Don't call us, we'll call you.

You do know that Obama plays chess, eh Bibi?

4. Either way, nutty ya-hoo had a stunt to pull and he pulled it. I hope President Obama lambasts his

ass at the UN...

5. That's sad, cuz Faux Snooze ran with the "no meeting" story for 5 hours tonight.

It's sort of incredible that they acted all serious about it.

Well, not really incredible, but you know, how they always act serious, like they are a real news organization.
Like they think they are credible because they sound serious.
Especially when they report breaking news.
Except when it isn't really breaking news, it's sort of like breaking news, but all twisted up in knots like a pretzel.

Christ, I'm beginning to sound like Hank Kimball from Green Acres!
