Jay Carney Dodges Question on Dem Strategist’s White House Visits: ‘I Know Three’ Hillary Rosens

During Thursday afternoon’s press briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked the inevitable: Where does the White House stand on Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen‘s comments criticizing Ann Romney’s stay-at-home mom status? His response: he dodged it and attacked Republicans.
“First of all, I have not spoken to the president about this,” Carney started.
He then went on to name the ways Obama has supported women and all the ways, according to Carney, Republicans have attacked women, rattling off pieces of legislation like he was doing a roll call.
Soon after, he rebuffed the idea that Rosen is a frequent White House guest. Reports say the the name “Hillary Rosen” has shown up on the White House visitors log 35 times, suggesting the President — or those in the administration — admires her advice.
“I haven’t seen the records. I don’t know that Hillary Rosen– I know three personally, women named Hillary Rosen,” Carney said. “So I‘m not sure that those represent the person we’re talking about necessarily.”
When pressed on her involvement, he added: “I don‘t know how man times she’s been here. … I don’t know how to assess her overall relationship to people here in the White House. I have not seen her here very frequently.”

Posted on April 12, 2012 at 3:35pmDemo-marxist strategy: Declare an issue off limits, then trot out supporters to engage in that issue. There is this one (attack family), then the one where DWS declares religion off limits and out trots msnbc Lawrence Odonnel to crititcize Mormon religion. I think there are more examples. If I were Democrat, I’d leave for this tactic.

Posted on April 12, 2012 at 3:45pmI guess Hillary Rosen is like Hollywoods “Alan Smithee” If a director or producer loses control of a final product on a movie, or disagrees with the final version, they can withdraw their name, and instead the name “Alan Smithee” will appear on the credits. So I guess Hillary Rosen is just an anonymous name they use.

Posted on April 12, 2012 at 4:13pmA quick look at dierectory assistance on the web shows 72 listings for Hilary Rosen.
It also shows more than 100 listings for Jay Carney.
So, if that in fact is his name…how do we know he is the real one and not an imposter. I believe the Secret Service needs to investigate the possibility that a phoney person is pretending to be the press secretary.

Definition: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

How many “Hillary”s do you know who spell their name with one “L” and how many of the THREE Hilary Rosens you know, Carney, come to the White House? How many “Fox News Correspondents” come to the White House that often?
I wish we could elect Press Secretaries! This liar is a lying liar liarson every time he opens his mouth. It’s embarrassing to him and to the WH. I didn’t think anyone on Earth could appear more smug and condescending than Gibbs, but Carney gives him a run for his money. I would like to teach him right from wrong, and truth versus falsehood since no one else did, it seems.

Guess you could say that police officers have to have the same “plastic-face” when confronted with question & answer situations as what Carney goes through. However, Carney “owns-the-plastic-face“ when trying to ”spin” an answer to a legitimate question. Carney is tough but this mountain he has been climbing for the regime….well, Carney is going to need plenty of oxygen-tanks for the scaling of the slippery-slope he encounters towards reaching the peak, Nov 2k12.
