Why provide a photo op for the two front runners that leaves a significant front runner out in the cold? Just because he is a former Senator.

I'm not saying that THIS is the reason Obama declined to sit with Hillary, but it would have been a noble gesture. Much like what he did for Bill Richardson in a debate once (whispered "Katrina" when Bill hadn't been following the moderator and was caught by surprise when the moderator turned to Bill and asked "what would you have done"). That gesture alone should tell everyone all they need to know about Obama. Nice guy. Obama could have let Bill twist in the wind or have to appear foolish by saying "could you repeat the question" or, even worse, whispered "9/11" to mislead Bill into making a bigger fool of himself. But he didn't. He did the right thing and helped out an opponent.
