Obama: ‘I’m Embarrassed’ Republicans Sent Letter to Iran

In a preview of Barack Obama’s interview with Vice, the president of the United States says he’s “embarassed” Republicans sent a letter to Iran:

“I’m embarrassed for them,” says Obama in the preview. “For them to address a letter to the Ayatollah — who they claim is our mortal enemy — and their basic argument to them is, ‘don’t deal with our president because you can’t trust him to follow through on an agreement.’ It’s close to unprecedented.”

Of course, remember this Wall Street Journal headline?
