Today marks the one-year anniversary of Barack Obama's pledge to meet "unconditionally" with leaders of Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc.

I'm hearing reports that Obama just misled reporters at a press conference in Israel today. He has chosen to re-frame his past statement by saying he would meet with these leaders

“at a time and place of my choosing.”

Assuming these reports are accurate, this of course, is simply not a true recollection of what he said. When asked during the YouTube debate if he would meet "without preconditions" he answered: "I would."

Watch Barack Obama Say "I Would" Meet Unconditionally With Leaders Of Iran, North Korea, Syria, And Other Nations.
