Which "foe" will Obama have face-to-face talks with first?

Hubdub is rigged - how in the world is the drugman at level 3, while I sit at level 2?

Do these have to be one-on-one talks or could they be at the same multi-national talks?

I wrote it just as face-to-face talks between Obama and a "foe." I suppose other nations' leaders could be also at the table.

Looks like it might be Hugo: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jGejoiQhn_CE03ghdjPbhuMQFglQD97F4L701
"President Barack Obama and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez are both scheduled to attend an April 17-19 Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago."

According to this article, words were exchanged which should settle this. (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/world/view/20090419-200175/After-handshake-Chavez-offers-book-to-Obama)

"Chavez was said to have told Obama at that moment: "I shook hands with [former US president George W.] Bush with this hand eight years ago. I want to be your friend."

Obama responded by thanking Chavez, the official said."

Here's video of him chit chatting with the socialist:

why is this still open there are 2 links in the affirmative

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), told CNN on Sunday it was "irresponsible" for Obama to be seen "laughing and joking" with Chavez.

Obama dismissed such concerns. He said the 2008 campaign proved that American voters want the president to engage his counterparts, whether they are avowed friends of the U.S. or not

@curios - Does seem odd. A similar question specific to Chavez was settled within a day.

The other market specifically said "meet" not "talks" so my guess is that the duration of the conversation didn't constitute a "talk".

The question says, "Which "enemy" will Obama have direct in-person talks with first?"
In FOF's link, Obama is clearly talking with Chavez. That definitely settles it in my mind. I didn't specify formal talks or anything like that in the question. Improptu talks are still talks.

I think the circumstances fit even the Merriam Webster definition, "a formal discussion, negotiation, or exchange of views —often used in plural". I'd say anything involving 2 heads of state constitutes a formal discussion or exchange of views (I think I read that specific phrase being used by Obama when questioned about it - I'll try and dig it up).

Some comments from the White House on the meeting make it sound like an exchange of views occurred.
"He was -- his comments about President Obama were -- expressed the hope that things have changed. He was civil in his remarks; he was critical of the past, however."

And from here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Press-Gaggle-By-A-Senior-Administration-Official-4/17/2009/
Q One question. The web site from President Chavez said both leaders shook hands and Chavez told President Obama of his desire to change the relations between the nations. Does that correspond with your understanding of their conversation?
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: I wouldn't -- I wouldn't dispute that. And as I said, when President Chavez indicated that -- and not necessarily in the exact words, Mark, that you just read, but he did speak in English and say something to that extent -- President Obama simply smiled and went back to his place in the line.

Last one, sorry...

"It's unlikely that as a consequence of me shaking hands or having a polite conversation with Mr. Chavez that we are endangering the strategic interests of the United States." I'd say a conversation = talks.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
