Today Jake Tapper asked Jay ‘Dim Bulb’ Carney, “The Congressional Budget Office report is a pretty dire warning about what this nation faces, yet I didn’t hear the president mention it yesterday, is there a reason why?” What we got in the form of an answer is what has become pretty standard fare. Carney answered by saying, “Well I think I put out a statement which is the White House’s view and the president’s view. The president talks every day that he’s out there, as he was yesterday, about what we need to do to help build our economy, help it to continue to grow, help it to continue to create jobs and yesterday, and the day before, he was focusing on the need to continue investments in education because he firmly believes that education is a matter of our economy, it’s an economic issue.”
Tapper followed up with, “That’s not what the Congressional Budget Office was addressing, they were talking about … The president talked about education, he talked about Todd Aken, he talked about Michael Jordan, he talked about a lot of—“ Carney cut him off saying, “He talks, you know, all the time about what we need to do to specifically to help the economy grow and create jobs. And his belief that we need to take a balanced approach to address the kinds of fiscal challenges that are necessary.” Such is what passes for daily press briefings these days courtesy of what was billed as being the most transparent administration in history. Sadly such is not the case. Instead what we have is the most secretive, the most evasive and, dare I say, the most dishonest administration in at least my life time. More so even than the Nixon administration.
