I think this was an act of encouragement and hope. The President of the US has far reaching influence and the US had sunk to an all time low in the eyes of the international community.
Not meeting with the Dahli Lama at this time is a matter if putting international balance over personal preferences. If the US is going to act in partnership in the world and not as the big dog, then choices have to be made and timing has to be considered. The Dahli Lama understands this. Sometimes when dealing with an unreasonable, recaltircant entity and little flattery and coxing will achieve your aims better than digging in your heels.
