In a World of Complications, Obama Faces a Re-election Test


Mr. Obama’s trip to Mexico for a gathering of the Group of 20leaders is his third international summit meeting in a month, reflecting the pull of priorities for any incumbent. While he confers in Los Cabos, his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, will tour swing states. “I’ve still got my day job,” as Mr. Obama put it at a California fund-raiser last month.
The president will talk with European leaders about pulling out of the financial spiral after Sunday’s election in Greece, which gave the pro-bailout party a slim victory and the right to form a coalition government. He will also meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russiajust days after the Obama administration accused Moscow of supplying arms to Syria in its bloody crackdown on the uprising there.
Just as Mr. Obama and Mr. Putin meet for the first time as presidents, their underlings will sit down in Moscow for the latest round of talks with Iranthat are intended to curb Tehran’s nuclear program. The optimism over these talks this spring seems to have faded into fears of a further impasse that would play into Iran’s hands.
