There can still be conditions, right?

Obama really needs to keep a pocket dictionary so when he drops words like “preconditions” he knows what they mean. Now, Obama is backpedaling about his whole meeting countries like Iran “without preconditions.” It seems that President Ahmadinejad doesn’t meet the “conditions” to get a meeting.

Democrat Barack Obama underscored his willingness to talk to leaders of countries like Iran that are considered U.S. adversaries but said on Monday that does not necessarily mean an audience with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

 

Obama, the Democratic Party front-runner vying to face Republican Sen. John McCain in the November race for the White House, has said he was willing to meet with leaders of countries such as Iran, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela without preconditions.

 

McCain has criticized that view, saying that sitting down with someone like Ahmadinejad would give the Iranian president a spotlight and send the wrong signal to U.S. allies such as Israel.

 

Iran does not recognize Israel’s existence and Ahmadinejad has called the country a “stinking corpse.”

Oh Obama, you really make it too easy for us.
