It seems Jay Carney is back to his snarky self.
“I know nine is a popular number in the Republican Party, but this can’t possibly be what they want,” the White House press secretary said Thursday reference Congress‘ low approval rating and Herman Cain’s much-touted 9-9-9 plan.
Recently, tension between Congress and the president has been exacerbated by the White House’s proposal to bypass Congress in a bid to advance its economic proposals via a “We Can’t Wait” strategy.
Carney responded to House Speaker John Boehner‘s concerns about the White House’s newest strategy by saying that President Obama is “operating well within the balance of his authority” to issue executive orders to help the economy, according to Politico.
He also added, “I would respectfully suggest to the speaker that perhaps he should and the House should” focus on the economy.

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 8:18amThe House of Rep’s is actually doing the job they were sent to DC to do. The Senate, under Harry Reid and Dick Durbin – are “playas” in the gradual downfall of our Nation. A budget? Anyone-Anyone? Over 900 days, and NO Budget……….The evil is within.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 11:01pmGutter politics at it’s lowest. Our dear leader has resorted to to the most disgraceful and ugly form of “governing”. One would think he and his drones are desperate for four more years, to cover up their crimes, and to keep from getting attacked by the very people they sold their souls to. I’d much rather see Art Carney than this syncophantic lackey.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 10:50pmJay Carney, like every other spokesperson or water carrier for Barack Hussein Obama, is a haughty, arrogant do fuss who evidently was bred by the same leftist cretins that bred Barack Hussein Obama. Any drivel that spills out of Jay Carney’s mouth is non informative and simply totes the party line. the jokes that they parley with respect to their opposition merely shows their disdain and inability to understand both the issues and the necessary steps that would need to be taken to resolve them.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 8:58pmPresidential candidates now have “legal standing” to challenge Obama in court. Each must file a lawsuit alleging fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required of the President by the Constitution, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!
It costs nothing to learn why a “natural born citizen” is not the same as a citizen, but it could cost you everything if you don’t.
How to quickly understand eligibility.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 5:35pmLet me translate Donkey English into plain English: “The President is operating well within the balance of his authority”…..which means “POTUS is bypassing Congress”.
The Congress should “respectfully” ask Obama to focus on the economy and not on playing golf. This one is also plain English!
Maybe some day Jay Carney will become a funny guy. He is not there yet.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 5:30pmObama is the joke. It is because of his ObamaCare that the Congress has been desomated. If without that and the budget people, especially Conservatives, would be a little happier with Congress, but they are pawns in his hands.
As for Cain, there is another great ad put out for him by a fan. I don’t know his name but he is the black singer Tea Party member that made the Tea Party theme. He put it out for him: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/oct/cain_ad_jingle.html
