These meetings were prior to the 2008 election so no guarantee he would end up as President, when he was just a senator.

But he’s ’embarrassed’ by the actions of the GOP senators? Unlike the 47 Senators, whose letter was public and just advised on the Constitution, Obama lobbied in private against the Bush deal. Talk about a Logan Act violation…

Via Breitbart:

President Obama set his Vice Presidential attack dog on the forty-seven GOP senators who dared send their March 9th letter to Iran’s leadership warning them any deal signed with Team Obama may be short-lived when a new president comes to office. But Biden, like his boss, fails to do his homework before making outlandish statements or else chooses conveniently to overlook the facts. Livid over the GOP letter, Biden proclaimed: “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which Senators wrote directly to advise another country.” Directing his venom at the Senate’s Republican majority, Biden claimed the GOP letter was “expressly designed to undercut a sitting President in the midst of sensitive international negotiations…(an act) beneath the dignity of an institution I revere.” Biden need not go back that far to find a senator who sent advice to a foreign power when similar “sensitive” negotiations were ongoing. Seven years back is far enough.

Update:

We mentioned allegations that Obama did the same thing in Iraq, according to the Iraqi Foreign Minister. However, Bush administration officials say that they were present during an Obama meeting with Iraqis in 2008 and did not hear the alleged discussion about the Status of Forces agreement or a delay of withdrawal. However what was confirmed was that Obama said to the Iraqis that a Strategic Framework Agreement would have to be reviewed by Congress. Which is pretty much the same kind of thing Tom Cotton, et al. said now in the case of Iran.
