Foreign Policy Is A Joke (No Really, They Are All Laughing!)

You know at some point this stuff just is pathetic. This entire administration should be taking a moment to look itself in the mirror and give itself a serious pep-talk and calling a help line of some sort. This, after the press openly laughs at comments made by State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki after she claimed President Barack Obama “Doesn’t give himself enough credit for what he’s done around the world.”

Reporters clearly found her statement questionable and followed up with several questions about the president’s foreign policy. The questions seemed to be focused on the specific point of "What?".

One reporter asked the audacious question this way, "For What?" by which he means, what does Obama specifically deserve credit for regarding foreign policy? Psaki cited his accomplishments like; engagement initiatives like Iran, the U.S. involvement in Ukraine, efforts to dive in and engage around the world.

Her answer led yet another reporter to point out that “Russia has still annexed Crimea” and there has been very little success in dealing with Iran. Watching the video, it doesn't take long for Ms. Psaki to react to the rooms chuckling in a manner that makes you think someone just made a dirty pun about penetrating the back end of our allies but doesn't yet realize what they said came across as hilarious.

 

The question is asked, does the President give himself enough credit for his foreign policy successes? Well, the state department attempted to answer that question and the press openly mocked them. I'd say that's an opening vote of 'NO!'. It's been years since Obama's greatest (and arguably easiest decision of his Presidency) foreign policy accomplishment of slaying of Bin Laden. Since then we have seen Syria gassing, Libya revolting, Russia annexing, and China boating. Well, I've give him a little leeway, after all he's been very busy with his schedule.
