Jay Carney Did Not Like ABC Reporter’s Question About Cost of Obama’s Golf Outings: ‘You’re Trivializing an Impact Here’

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday refused to entertain a question from ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl regarding the cost of one of President Barack Obama’s common golf outings.

Several reporters were questioning Carney over the Obama administration’s decision to cancel White House tours in order to avoid Secret Service furloughs and cutbacks due to sequestration cuts.

“The Secret Service told us that the tours cost $74,000 a week. How much is it going to cost for the President to travel later this week to Illinois?” Karl asked.

“Well, the president is the President of the United States,” Carney replied bluntly. “And he is elected to represent all of the people. And he travels around the country, appropriately. I don’t have a figure on the cost of presidential travel. It is obviously something, as every President deals with because of security and staff, a significant undertaking. But the President has to travel around the country. He has to travel around the world. That is part of his job.”

“How much does it cost for him to go and play golf?” Karl followed up.

“Jon, again, you’re trivializing an impact here. People will lose their jobs. Three-quarters of a million people will lose their job,” Carney said.

“This is about choices. You have a certain amount of–” Karl began before being interrupted.

“Right. The law stipulates what the costs will be for each agency. Those jobs will be lost, okay? And you can report on White House tours, or you can find out what the impacts are out in the real world, additional impacts are. This is a real-world impact here, and it is unfortunate. And it is an unhappy choice,” Carney added.

Carney went on to say “Congress made this choice” in regards to sequestration. Carney never did respond to Karl’s question about the cost of Obama’s golf trips.

  Reporters are asking how much it costs for the President to play golf? Seriously? I wonder how much it costs him to play some hoops? How much to the tax payers pay for his dinner? Do you realize that taxpayers have to pay for room and board for not only him, but his entire family? How much does that cost?
  
  Frankly I don’t know. But I do know this. Bush spent over 1000 days on vacation mostly at Crawford but sometimes at Camp David. I think he made 77 trips to Crawford on Air Force One, along with his Secret Service agent and entourage (cooks and so forth). How much did all those trips cost the American taxpayer? A couple million buck a trip? What did it cost for those Secret Service agent to go along when he was out on photo ops cutting trees down? Bush probably spent more time away from Washington on vacation than any other President in history. Google it.
  
  This kind of discussion “how much does it cost for President Obama to go get a burger” is partisan nonsense don’t you? How many times could President Obama play golf with the money taxpayers spent for a single trip on Air Force One with 20 Secret Service agents and a cook for two weeks Bush spent at Crawford six times a year?

  @SendtheMeteors. Bush went to his own home in Crawford. Bush did NOT spend millions of dollars on Hawaiian or Martha’s Vineyard vacations, like Obama. Why doesn’t Obama just vacation in his own home in Chicago? Also Bush, in 8 years, had only about 1/4 as many golf outings as Obama did in his first 4 years. Bush rarely had WH parties. Obama has EXPENSIVE WH parties on a regular basis. Laura Bush never took a separate jet, just so she wouldn’t have to wait 3 hours, like Michelle did. The Obamas are like the TV Jeffersons – moving on up…on “the Man’s” money.

  You are right that it is partisan nonsense. The problem with President Obama is that he was one of those partisan ass clowns that played these petty games when he was candidate Obama and he was trying to score points for his party with these same kind of questions about President Bush. Because of that, President Obama should have to put up with the tactic that he once enjoyed so much. It only took 5 years, but the media might start doing their job and holding him accountable for a job well screwed.

  What a load SENDTHEMETEOR. Bush didn’t like working out of the White House and everyone, including you knows that Crawford was the second WH for Bush. Those 1000 trips were not vacations. He worked from Crawford. Also, whether Bush was in Crawford, DC or in your house taking a dump, the Secret Service are already paid to watch the president 24/7. The same goes for Obama and his and Michelle’s jet-setting across the country. The golf question was BS. He should have asked why are your giving away $250 million to known terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, but you can’t seem to find the money to pay for tours or pay for new Air Force recruits. Yeah, I found out a relative can’t get into the air force because they have no money after the sequester, but we can give away $250 mil…….BS!

  Truesoundofliberty…..you ignorant slut! There was no evidence that Bush ever did coke. And I can respect the man if he was an alcoholic and kicked the habit years before he took office. However, Obama admits to being a coke head, using various other drugs and smoking pot on a daily basis. He is always talking about having a beer as if he thinks it makes him more of a man. Yet I never hear anyone from the left give him the grief that you give Bush for something that is nothing more than a rumor.

Sending your daughters to Mexico with friends and families, vacations with friends and families(and I don’t mean crack babies family, I mean the friends families). I believe crack baby took something like 18 EXPENSIVE vacations in first term; not only were they not working vacations, but most the time he stood up leaders of our allys so he could eat lunch with his trained monkey Biden.

  How much does it cost the taxpayers when idiots like you sit home and suck off welfare so you can troll this site?
  Moochele and 40 of her closest friends spent millions and millions to rent the hotel in India not to mention bush quit golfing because of the war and only ended up with 26 total golf trips in 8 years. Oblameo is well over 100. Oblameo and Moochele always take different planes which always costs twice as much for gas, security details, etc. Bush did NOT live like a king, Oblameo acts like he is emperor, king, lord, etc and spends like it too. So it is about choices and oblameo is a liar, Carney is a liar, and you are just pissed because the media is FINALLY starting to see the POSes true colors.

  SENDTHEMETEROS; Bush spent most of his vacations on his own ranch in Texas, therefore it didn’t cost the tax payers any money. He didn’t take elaborate vacations with his family to Hawaii, or send his daughter to NY for a dinner party with friends, or send his wife and daughters on separate vacations.

  We should also add a 5% decrease in spending whenever Joe Biden opens up his pie hole and says something stupid. The debt reduction would be speeded up to supersonic speeds.
  
  Oh and don’t forget to add a 2% decrease in spending whenever Obama blames the problems of the country on somebody other then himself (Bush, Republicans, Conservatives, Congress in general and ad infinitum).

  Seeing as “meteor” is way off point, let me shine some light on how far off:
  
  1. The white house needs to answer the questions asked… period (how much does it cost for Obama to golf, instead of him cutting back on that expense school children are being punished so he can golf.
  
  2. Regardless of party the president is on duty every day regardless of his location… oddly, the record for all presidential vacations are pretty sketchy except for GW (why do you suppose that is)?
  
  3. AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE: the house and senate are in session in Washington fewer than 120 days a year on average (sometimes under 100 days)… they are grossly overpaid… and yes I know they are working when not in Washington (though few of them actually spend those 240+ days in their districts/states… preferring junkets and trips overseas… (regardless of party).
  
  4. You biased hypocrites need to stop regurgitating DNC tripe… get a life.

  “According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, today’s trip marks Mr. Bush’s 149th visit to the presidential retreat. The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.
  
  Yes, that’s 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there. ”

To begin with the average unemployment rate under Bush was 5.27%, the same under ObaMao is up to this point in time 9.0%. There is something quite disgusting about a president who has so little regard for the American who is struggling to keep his head above water. We are entering our 5th year with this dangerous fraud as our nations leader and he continues to conduct himself as an imperial figure rather than a servant of the people. Instead of him working for us,we work for him. We work in order that he and his family can live the good life Weekly Wednesday parties with the glitterati, hobnobbing with his well heeled sycophants in the entertainment industry, regular weekly golf outings, trips to destinations and accommodations which his serfs can only dream of . Did you know the taxpayers are charged the $102,000 per year fee for his DOG groomer/handler? It’s true. All this extravagant spending of OUR money while people do without basic necessities. Then you have the gall to compare him with a president who dared to spend his vacations in his own home. You really are a piece of work!

  Well JZS/MEETEEYORES….Obama had the chance to end both wars immediately when he took office. But he didn’t.
  Instead he capitalized on the success of the troop surge he railed against as a do-nothing senator from Illinois (“airraiding villages and killing civilians”- remember?) and stuck to the already negotiated draw down schedule the Bush administration had set in place (because Obama can’t do this stuff on his own..just like finding Bin Laden). And we’re still in Afghanistan albeit in a haphazard, directionless manner. Oh but he did order Gitmo closed…although that still remains opens today too.
  To make you look even more foolish….Obama has added $6trillion to the debt when he said he’d halve the deficit by the end of his first term. You believed him didn’t you champ? In fact…Obama has added more to the debt in his 4 and a quarter years in office (and is on track to make the deficit $20 trillion by the end of this term) than Bush did in eight years. You like to bring up Bush so I thought I’d continue the thought.

  COSETTE…I have absolutely no issue with Bush travelling to Camp David or Crawford. Camp David is work and Crawford is Bush’s home where he still worked.
  Meanwhile Moochelle takes her friends and her daughter to Spain for multi-million dollar trips and Barry is on a perpetual campaign rather than work.
  For all of Obama’s chicken little predictions over the sequester, he spent 7 minutes on the day of the impending sequester talking to the congressional leaders while spending months travelling on the campaign trail (read: spending tax payer dollars) trying to get political points on the GOP house because he’s still furious about having his blank check stolen from him in 2010. He spent months travelling the country campaigning against the GOP house (and failed) rather than doing his job in Washington.
  Bush sure as hell didn’t operate like that.

So you see, dear LoFoVo (low information voter), there was wide support for the invasion. The American supported the war by 63% to 35%. So you’re going to have to do better than that.

  So far the Obama vacations have cost our country $1.4Billion…while spring break kids cannot tour our own White House…while more and more people slide into poverty…while veterans cannot get tuition assistance…etc. Obama has been diagnosed as a pathological narcissist, and he has not ever cared about anyone but himself.

  If people would just completely ignore morons like SENDTHEMETEORS they would eventually go away. Most of the socialists who visit conservative websites aren’t even Americans and I’ll bet this bonehead is no exception. Usually these people are Canadians, or subjects of some other socialist dytopia, who are jealous of Americans and want to cause division.

  LTB…you’re not wrong about JZS/MEETEEYORES. It usually posts late at night. Even when it was posting as JZS right before the November election (and curiously it disappeared for a couple of months then reappeared recently as MEETEEYORES)..it usually posted late at night. Lately it’s been monitoring the boards a little closer so it returns to throw in a few drive-by’s when it thinks it can get away with it. The regular late night posts indicate he’s may indeed not be in the U.S.

  GHANDI WAS A REPUBLICAN,
  Jay Carney is WORSE than his fellow toadie Robert Gibbs. He opens his mouth….,propaganda SPEWS! For what?! Is it because he believes in the incompetent ,socialist, Barry Dunham administration? Does he do it because he has the morals of an asp? Does he do it for filthy lucre?
  You decide.
  I am an Army Spouse. We are losing this country. So much sacrifice these last 11 plus years..,for freaking what?! So we could have the third GAY marriage in the West Point Chapel?! So women can be in combat?

  I will only say this in response to MEATsend, because so many have said enough already.
  
  Securing a fixed site like the Crawford Ranch is simplistic in comparison to a meandering on average 1800 meter unsecure golf course.
  
  The number of agents, planning and preparation that goes into an unsecure site is for more costly, then say a site with fixed security.
  
  Grow up SEND, look at the big picture.

  Obama campaigned and told us exactly what he was going to do, but I’m now realizing that his plan actually came from Alice Cooper, who wrote the song horn filled rousing song “Elected”:
  
  I’m top prime cut of meat, I’m your choice …I wanna be elected
  I’m Yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce …I wanna be elected
  Kids want a savior, don’t need a fake …I wanna be elected
  We’re all gonna rock to the rules that I make …I wanna be elected.
  
  I never lied to you, I’ve always been cool …I wanna be elected
  I gotta get the vote, and I told you ’bout school …I wanna be elected,
  Elected, elected Hallelujah, ……I wanna be selected
  By everyone in the United States of America!
  
  We’re gonna win this one! Take the country by storm! …We’re gonna be elected
  You and me together, young and strong …We’re gonna be elected, elected, elected
  Respected, selected, calm collected …I wanna be elected, elected
  
  And if I am elected I promise the formation of a new party. …A third party, the wild party!
  I know we have problems We got problems right here in central city.
  We have problems on the north, south, east and west.
  New York city, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles Detroit, Chicago…
  Everybody has problems
  ….And personally I don’t care.

  Funny how they will eat their young when backed into a corner…..
  
  And something else funny, women of today still hold Liberal elite in Hollywood on a pedestal, but I have heard songs from the 80′s like Richard Marx singing about a woman in Hollywood and that was the 80′s and still this fascination with Hollywood liberals and their messiah presidente……Some young people have woke up, but there are still a lot out there who are sleeping under in a weed induced buzz….This is nothing new with the Hollywood unions and the 80′s music is evident of that fact.
  
  I hope women have woken to these people and what they are really all about, Scientology and all that jazz……

  Poor little Corney is only doing his job! Geeze. Poor little thing is only carrying water for them when they already have the press (MSM) in their pockets. When I hear him agonize over answers I know he’s really thinking “do I carry on the lie and distortion or do I feed my family with this good paying job?” I really feel sorry for anyone who has that job being a puppet, to make lies sound reasonable..

  @What4: I want him impeached in the worst way. I want to see him cuffed and stuffed by the FBI. It won’t happen because to impeach him is to acknowledge that he is there legally. I believe he is not there legally, he is a usurper. The only way to remove him is through the Supreme Court, and they refuse to hear the case. We are stuck.

If the reporters had any guts at all, when Carney gets this way they should all get up and walk away.

Or if they have real guts they make up numbers like they do regarding GOP/Republican issues .. Then let Carney call them liars.

I figure they can write and say that according to an “anonymous source within the WH has indicated that the golf trip to Florida cost $780,564 dollars”. They say this enough time people will believe them or totally ignore them.

I’d like to see a comparison done with past administrations on the cost and how much time away from the white house using the Secret Service. Besides aren’t the tours of the White House provided by the National Parks Services?

We spent $ 1.4 billion entertaining our “first family” last year. Britain spent $ 580 million on the entire royal family last year. Wonder if England would be interested in some kind of trade. Harry and Kate are much better looking.

  Its even worse than that. The Brits only spend $57.8 million on the royal family. This does not include the Obama’s $50,000 a year expense account, $100,000 travel account, $19,000 entertainment budget and an additional million for mics expenses.

Obama, michelle and his daughter continually using AF1, security details, C130s et al to go on vacations and outings when people are suffering is a big deal. Who the he$$ does he think he is? Neither are royalty. Obama is a paid federal employee that needs to be impeached. Am I angry at your arrogance you little snot? You betcha.

Transcript from Today’s Press Conference.

JAY CARNEY: Hey, I don’t like the tone of that questions

ABC: It’s legitimate, how much does it cost for golfing, why can’t he just go to the mini-golf?

JAY CARNEY: That is just fliberty goop, you smell like tacos. Who dressed you….my mom……wait, I mean why did your mom dress me?

ABC: Are you trying to insult me?

JAY CARNEY: Wait, I have to call Paul Rubens for advice, he has been working with me on how to handle you. Ring Ring.

Paul “PEE WEE HERMAN” RUBENS: Hey Jay, how’s it smelling HA HA.

JAY CARNEY: Paul, they are being mean again, I tried to use the momma joke, but I screwed it up again.

RUBENS: Look, just tell them, I know you are but what am I. That works everytime.

JAY CARNEY: Look guys, you think I am a stupid weak little man, but……I know I am, what are you?

PRESS CORP: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH…SNORT….HAAAAAHHAAAAAAHAHHAA.

SECRET SERVICE: Come on everyone, lets give him a wedgie.

JAY CARNEY: Ha, you can’t, I did an Al Roker earlier, I don’t have any underwear.

EVERYONE: ATOMIC NOOGIES.

JAY CARNEY: Damn you Pee Wee Herman. AAAAAHHHHHHHH.

which should we do?
