VIDEO: Reporters Openly Laugh at State Department Defense of Obama

(From the Intellectual Ammunition section in Volume 19, No. 11 of the Liberator Online. Subscribe here!) “One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms,” declared the great libertarian H.L. Mencken. So when mainstream reporters start snickering publicly at the president, that’s a very good sign. Enjoy, then, this very short (one minute 36 seconds) video clip from a State Department press conference in late May, in which amused reporters openly mock State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s claim that Obama’s foreign policy record is worthy. Psaki says to the assembled reporters, “I would argue the president doesn’t give himself enough credit for what he’s done around the world, and that’s how the Secretary feels too…” “Credit for what?” asks one bemused reporter, clearly astounded at the idea. Others join in, eventually laughing aloud at the idea that Obama has done anything deserving credit in recent foreign policy. We could use far more such skepticism, but this is a great start.
