Jay Carney Had Absolutely No Idea How to Answer This Question

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney Fields Complex Question About Religion

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney fielded a seriously loaded question on Wednesday about the moral decline of America, religious liberties that come from Jesus and the Declaration of Independence. Honestly, even if the White House really wanted to answer the long-winded question, it would likely require a very lengthy discussion due to the complexity of the issue.

When Dr. Anthony Harper of the InterMountain Christian News got his chance to ask Carney his question, this is what he went with:

“Regarding religious liberty faith issues, a lot of Christian churches want to know about how this relates to the problems we’re going through as a nation economically and otherwise, that would believe that our religious faith liberties — faith and religious liberties and life come from Jesus, not man.”

“I’m sorry, is — I didn’t get the question,” Carney replied, a little perplexed.

“Oh, I’ll rephrase that,” the reporter said. “Basically, the Christian churches in our nation are concerned about the moral decline in our nation and how faith and religious liberty issues and life are crucial, from the Declaration of Independence, and how that they would believe that our rights come from Jesus, not men. How would the administration respond to that?”

Carney didn’t provide and official “administration response” to the question, but he did humor the InterMountain Christian News reporter.

“I would tell you that the President, as a man of faith, believes very deeply in the importance that it plays in his life and understands clearly the importance it plays in the lives of so many millions of Americans,” he said.

Watch the video of the interaction below (video will start at relevant mark):

Harper is apparently a regular member of the White House Media Pool.

“As a member of the White House Media Pool, I am thankful to GOD for the opportunity to attend White House conferences,” Harper writes on the InterMountain Christian News website. “Christians need a prominent voice with our president and other national leadership.”

IMCN is a faith-based bi-monthly publication available throughout the “Intermountain region” of Colorado, southern Idaho, Montana, northern Nevada, eastern Oregon, Utah and Wyoming, according to the publication’s website. It relies on both paid advertising and donations to cover operation costs.

      This guy, as part of the White House pool, obviously does not get called on often to ask a question. I would think he would have used his time in wait to come up with a question that was succinct, to the point and made some immediate sense.
      After reading through it three times, I finally figured out what he was trying to ask and agree with the premise of the question……but wow, did he blow it with the way it was worded.
      How about, “Does the president feel that our religious and other liberties come directly from God….or from man” ?

      This is for V15,
      I will help define for you an anti-christ. This is anyone who says he is in Christ but denies Him just the same.

      Obama says he is a Christian. Obama can not have missed the hundreds of references to his being the Messiah, or when Jamie Foxx declared I want to give thanks to my God, my Lord and Savior Barak Hussein Obama. A real Christian would be offended at such statements and would be compelled by his/her conscience to inform those saying such things to stop as they are offensive to the very soul of a real Christian who knows they are bought with the price of the real Messiah’ blood shed on the cross at Calvary.

      I have not heard a peep from Obama chastising the multiple sources for his immaculation. Therefore…
      Obama denies the power of Christ making him anti-christ. BAD FOR Obama.

      I commend him for making the point that rights come from God (or Jesus… po-tay-to / po-tah-to) and not an antichrist… er… Obama.

      Freeberty spewed: The churches are worried about moral decline, and they want the government to do something about it?

      Duh much? No, the churches do not want government to do something about it. They want government to stay out of the church and stop trying to take away God-given rights. Obama acts like the inalienable rights of mankind come from him. They come from God. The Christian reporter was trying to get the administration to take a stand one way or the other. As usual, they try to use words like “man of faith” to deflect and imply they are Christian as well and support God-given rights. Not so. Long before the USA was around, man had a right to defend himself with whatever weapons he could get his hands on. I strongly suggest you get your head screwed on straight. Obama is paving the path for the anti-christ. You WILL bend your knee and confess the Lord Jesus as the almighty. It’s just a matter of whether you do it before the Great White Throne Judgement or after. Go ahead and fume, rant, call me a religious nut, etc. Show me any other religion besides Christianity that has predicted so much and EVERY single prophecy has come to pass. The rapture is going to happen soon. Be a part of it or be damned to hell for eternity.

      I’m sorry, but Freeberty is on to something. Look at how many churches run interference on illegal immigration, going so far as to act as sanctuaries, and then how many churches came out in support of Obamacare. The question is inane and pathetically articulated. There is as much congruence amongst various factions of Christians in this country on issues of liberty (per the Declaration) as there are people who can agree on their favorite Van Halen lead singer. If the Christian community in this country was so concerned about religious liberty, there is no way that Obama would have been re-elected. Dead on arrival.

    Jay should have responded “Stop stuttering, all I heard in that ramble was Jesus. Ask a question that can be answered or sit down”. What did this guy expect as a response? His question is hardly a question and he is too nervous to piece together a coherent sentence.

      I don’t think he should have been that rude, but I agree in principle. The man didn’t ask a coherent question. The writer of this article acts like this is some mind-blowing thing that Jay Carney said he didn’t get the question….HINT: There was no question posed. I didn’t understand what the man was getting at either. He stumbled and stuttered over a bunch of non-sense phrasing. There was nothing Carney could have really said other than: “Excuse me?”

      And this is coming from someone that thinks Carney is a complete and utter joke. Come on, Blaze…you’re supposed to be better than this. Massive bias to the right is still bias. What happened to “The truth has no agenda”?

      What the reporter from Incoherence Weekly meant to ask was:

      “Regarding religious liberty faith issues, a lot of Christian churches want to know about how this relates to the problems we’re going through as a nation economically and otherwise, that would believe that our religious faith liberties — faith and religious liberties and life come from Jesus, not man … What’s up with that?”

    I know i’m splitting leaves of a one-leaf shamrock here, but does anyone else find this to be a goofy way to ask about moral decline as it relates to inalienable rights?

      “I would tell you that the President, as a man of faith, believes very deeply in the importance that it plays in his life and understands clearly the importance it plays in the lives of so many millions of Americans,” he said.

      Proverbs 6:16 – 19 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

      I think Obama and his administration have pretty much all of these covered. A man of faith, puleeze.

      You didn’t serve. It’s OK, really. Most don’t. Most just quietly accept with gratitude those who do serve. Others, like you and Ted Nugent, insist on masquerading as patriots, militarists. You like to “talk guns.” You convince yourselves that the vocabulary of service is a sufficient substitute for actual service. It’s cute. Of course, it fits better on a woman, but hey, it’s cute on you, too. That reminds me, it looks like brave American womenfolk are gong to get into combat before you. Better hurry up and man up and sign up. Trust me, you’ll love it. It’s so much more exciting than reading American Handgunner.
