When Nick Saban was running the Miami Dolphins, he was too busy to have dinner with George Bush. And according to the Drudge Report, Cowell said no to dinner with president Barack Obama. Here is a screen capture of the Drudge Report headline:

Here is the YouTube of Cowell claiming to turn down the president:
