White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is stepping down.

President Obama made the announcement at Friday's daily press briefing. He said he has chosen spokesman Josh Earnest to replace him.

"Jay has become one of my closest friends, and is a great press secretary," Obama said.

I guess even Carney found his conscience after lying to everyone for the last few years.

They've each gone through a few. Besides, it was released a earlier this year that Carney was leaving.

BUT BUSH BUT BUSH BUT BUSH

I recall Obama himself running on the idea that his would be the "most transparent administration ever"

and yet more whistleblower prosecutions, journalist investigations, etc than any administration prior-

you cannot substantiate what you said

Give me a fucking break!!!

As deluded as you are, I KNOW you don't believe that.

Obama Cabinet members and appointees have shattered the record for contempt citations and interfering with investigations.

At some point, the most ardent ideologues stop and try to reset...

...Obama is WAY PAST that point.

The difference with transparency with Obama and Bush is that Obama promised that this would be the most transparent. And no secrecy. :coffee:

AND the press!!

He was given a pass the first five years, but even his biggest apologists have lost their patience. Look at some of the WH press briefings since Christmas. The Obamacare collapse was "remedied" by the WH/Dems going to the press/media and demanding a Truthspeak propoganda campaign...

...only a tiny number of Americans actually benefitted, but the insurers, pharmaceutical industry, healthcare providers were indemnified by the WH.

Even the weakest spined operative can spew the lies so long before they wake up and find they have lost their audience.

Wonder why Fox network is ALWAYS leading viewership and earnings?

Look at the WH.

Because there are lots of idiots out there. Obama sucks, but he didn't get us into a war that we didn't need.

Iraq trumps anything that Obama has done.

Hogwash!!!

Announcing a REDLINE troop withdrawal date WITHOUT CONSULTING OUR NATION'S MILITARY LEADERSHIP, is the single greatest act of national defense incompetence ever by a sitting President.

Petraeus learned of the decision by a press liason.

And the press ejaculated praise for their Messiah.

Obama SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED FOR SEDITION!
