Just to point out:


The six-party talks have been a waste of time.  They have been occurred for years now and have resulted in nothing other than a nuclear North Korea. 


in 1994, the Clinton Administration refused to hold bilateral negotiations when North Korea broke the Agreed Framework. 


Simply saying "we will focus on the six-party talks" changes nothing that is presently occurring.  Bush has focused on those talks since 2003. (when North Korea pulled out of the NPT)


Anyway, it also shows the fundamental problem with American diplomacy in regards to North Korea.  Our goal presently is to maintain six-party talks.  What the real goal needs to be is to eliminate the North Korea nuclear program.  The comments you quote from Obama indicate that this trend will continue.
