Ad Gentes 7, Lumen Gentium 14 mention those who are aware of Jesus and the Church and who are not in invincible ignorance and do not enter it are on the way to eternal death.
On his Blog The Blogger Priest Fr. Joe Jenkins from the Archdiocese of Washington, USA firstly indicates that Vatican Council II contradicts itself. For him there is a contradiction within Ad Gentes 7 and Ad Gentes 7 also contradicts Lumen Gentium 16.
According to Fr. Joe Jenkins only those who know about Jesus and the Church or who know about Jesus and the Church and its necessity for salvation and do not become a member are damned after they die. All non Catholics in 2012 are not damned according to him since there are some in invincible ignorance, who have not had the Gospel preached to them through no fault of their own and who are known to him in the present times. This is irrational but this is what he suggests. Since only if they were known to him personally could they be exceptions to 'all need to convert to Him' with faith and baptism.
We do not know any one saved in invincible ignorance or a good conscience (LG 16). So AG 7 does not contradict LG 16, unless one assumes that the dead are visible.

Since those who 'know' are only damned according to Fr. Joe Jenkins, then those on the path to Hell, for not entering the Church with Catholic Faith could include the educated and informed in the USA, among them President Obama and the U.S politicians.
However Ad Gentes 7 like the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus says all need to be converted to Him in the Church, this is the principle passage in Ad Gentes. It refers to all non Catholics and not just those who know.
Those who know and do not will be judged by God only. The Church says all need to convert for salvation.This has been the teaching of the Church Fathers,Church Councils, the Catechisms of the Catholic Church, including the present one, Vatican Council I and Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7.-Lionel Andrades
