The problem is, Barack Obama did say he'd meet with Iran unconditionally, in front of a lot of people, at the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate last July.
He was specifically and directly asked if he would meet with the leader of Iran (and the leaders of several other "so-called rogue states") without preconditions, in the first year of his presidency, and his answer was, 'I would.'"
