Clearly, Obama and his camp realizes he has made a big mistake by claiming he would meet with the world's dictators and despots "without preconditions." That is why he has been backtracking his statements and only recently has tried to say he will meet with "preparation." He giving a speech today before Cuban Americans trying to reassure them he won't meet Castro (Raul) unless he "prepares." Maybe young Cubans are inclined to agree with him but I doubt the elders would back his "doctrine."
The Republicans will not let Obama wiggle out of this one because they have finally backed him into a corner on a position that is to their advantage: Foreign Policy. When Obama scoffs at the idea that we should have no fear of Iran and Cuba because they are "tiny countries" it show how ill-informed and naive he is about foreign policy. He does not seem to understand that it is not the size of the country (although Iran is a large country) but the size of the threat they possess. I am not sure America is going to trust the security of America to someone who has these pie-in-the-sky notions, like talking to these crazy people!
This election is not going to come down to domestic issues like the democrats think; it will be about National Security, as usual, and no amount of Economic gloom and doom can trump National Security because gues what...if you are dead, you won't need to eat.
Democrats still don't understand that they need to put up the strongest candidate against Republicans...not the ones the establishment favors, but the one that can go toe to toe against Republicans. It's a mistake they are about to repeat, to their detriment.
