I think the woman now represents the people who have lost loved ones in Iraq. This constituency has questions it wants answered, and this woman is their to ask him for them. She has become symbolic, not just another "face in the crowd" the prez does not have time for in between his exercise and nap schedule. The real reason he will not meet her is because he will be directly asked the questions he has avoided for years, as he hid behind his army of synchopants and co-conspirators.
