Via Hot Air‘s
Erika Johnsen comes this clip of reporters laughing at State
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s attempt to valorize President
Barack Obama’s foreign policy record.

A partial transcript:

JEN PSAKI: I would argue the president doesn’t give himself

comprehensive negotiations with Iran, which is where the
program is stalled and is rolling back, if it were not for the
role of the United States, along with the P-5 plus one
partners, certainly. Ukraine, we’ve been engaged more or as
much as any other country in the world in supporting the
elections process and supporting the government and supporting
their efforts moving forward. Yes, there’s more work that
needs to be done. The point is, we need to continue to stay at
it. …

REPORTER: Credit for what? I’m sorry, credit for what?

Bonus clip (via Free Beacon
via Hot Air again): NBC’s Richard Engel being whether there are any
countries with whom relations have improved under President
Obama.

“I think you would be hard pressed to find that,” Engel
said….”I think the reason is our allies have become
confused.”
