Speaking to reporters today, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that President Obama doesn’t give himself enough credit on foreign policy and on the world stage.

Observe as even the reporters can’t contain their disbelief after Psaki said she would “argue the president doesn’t give himself enough credit for what he’s done around the world, and that’s how the secretary [Kerry] feels too”:

@JohnEkdahl LOL. Her body language at the end said, “STFU! That’s my answer, I know it’s dumb, but I’m sticking with it. Leave me alone”

Maybe Psaki’s claim was the launch of a new talking point, because John Kerry is reportedly saying something similar:
