Chris Jansing, NBC's senior White House correspondent, reports individuals within the White House have described Hillary Clinton's recent criticism of President Obama’s foreign policy as "unseemly."
"In some ways, a word that was used to me talking to folks yesterday was that it’s kind of unseemly. But more than that, it's happening at a bad time. I think part of the pushback from the Obama camp; they expected that at some point Hillary Clinton was going to distance herself. They know what the polls say about the president, as it relates to foreign policy. He's in the middle of major crises on at least three different fronts. So the timing of it really isn't very good," Jansing said on Morning Joe.
In a recent Atlantic interview Clinton rejected the Obama administration’s self-described foreign policy principle of "Don’t do stupid stuff." Clinton also described the administration’s decision not to assist Syrian rebels early on a "failure."
In an attempt to settle down the war of words a Clinton spokesman said the former secretary of state looks forward to "hugging it out" with her former boss.
