AP fact checks Obama’s foreign policy

Anybody with more than half a brain has already noticed the ridiculous inconsistencies and naive idealism in Barack Obama’s foreign policy. But you know things are bad when the MSM starts to ask questions.

Obama’s outreach to US foes is questionable

Barack Obama’s willingness to meet Iranian, Cuban and other hostile leaders who would not get face time from John McCain stands as a distinctive element of his foreign policy.

Distinctive, yes, but clearly defined? Not quite.

Obama gets cheers at his rallies when he declares there is nothing to fear, and potentially much to gain, from talking to enemies as well as friends.

But U.S. diplomacy is not that simple and neither is his position.

This week, Obama qualified his past statements that he would meet the Iranian leadership directly and without precondition by saying he did not necessarily mean Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s hardline, anti-American president.

Nor is it certain lately at what point he, as president, would speak personally with some of the dictators he says should be engaged.

This, despite months of assertions that his willingness to sit down with foes sets him apart from Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and now McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, who challenges Obama on that point.

Check out the rest of the spin.
