Jay Carney: White House Not Interested In Bickering; Just Wants To Create Jobs

video
» 107 comments

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney appeared on Morning Joe this morning, and after exchanging pleasantries about what its like to be a “classic sort of outsider as a member of the press” and his 10 year-old son’s rock band, the discussion finally turned to yesterday’s scheduling conflict, heretofore known as “speechgate.” Carney made clear that the administration had in fact called the office of Speaker about the speech, and no objection was raised until the formal letter had been received by John Boehner‘s office, who then claimed there was a logistical problem. No sweat!

Like the solid Press Secretary that he is, Carney reiterates the White House position on what exactly went down yesterday:

Our intention was merely for the president to address a joint session of congress as soon as possible upon congress’ return to the White House. Both houses will be in session on next Wednesday. We asked for that day. We contacted the speaker’s office. No objection was raised at that time. The letter went forward. The speaker came back later in the day saying there was a problem with that, logistical. That’s fine. We’ll go Thursday.

Our interest is not in having a political back and forth here. Our interest is in the president speaking to people, speaking to congress about the need to do things, to create jobs to get the economy going. Americans are sick and tired of the bickering, the gridlock. What we saw over the summer, gridlock and partisan bickering is not new but what we saw over the summer, it can be harmful and deadly for the lives of Americans. people are fed up. We want to focus on the things we can do to get the economy growing. It’s what the president is going to talk about next week.

Two salient points worth highlighting: 1) the White House did in fact contact Boehner’s office as had been rather undereported yesterday and 2) the White House wasn’t trying play politics, they were simply trying to arrange an opportunity for the president to speak to the American people about jobs. The message? President Obama is an adult that is trying to raise above the inside beltway political bickering with which the American people have so much frustration. And that, my dear readers, is the beginning of a campaign narrative that we can expect to see for the next 14 months.

    Were Carney’s lips moving ??

    “I am the adult in the room”

    Sure. That makes a nice bumper sticker. It even has a nice ring to it.

    What morons!

    I fear that Obummer actually delivered the 2012 election to the gNOpigs on a silver platter.

    “the White House wasn’t trying play politics” No one buys this and I support the President. This was a weak move and all about PR.

    But Jay, you just said recently that the White House DOESN’T create jobs. Now you say Obama just want to create jobs! Were you lying then or are you lying now?

    Really funny when they talk about stopping the partisanship .

    Quit calling Republicans people who put party over country ( unpatriotic ) .

    King Obama would be more comfortable with a bullhorn and a bunch of his union thugs in some CEO’s frontyard .

    They knew when the football game was ,but not the debate ?  Sure .

    When Bill Ayers writes Obama’s third autobiography maybe he can tell the truth .

    Not likely , though .

    Isn’t this the Opie-Taylor wee-todd that said the White House didn’t have the power to create jobs? In fact, I agree with this: The president can only create ‘guv-mint’ and ‘pub-lick sector’ jobs: that’s where the stimulus $$$ went…to propping up those constituencies and those constituencies alone.

    So Opie Taylor has to decide once and for all: Can His Boss do anything or not? It’s Obamo’s boorish, anti-capitalism ideology that is standing in the way, and as long as Obama sticks to that (I hope he will) then he will get blamed and then tossed into the landfill.

    His speech on Wednesday…sorry, Thursday…will be nothing but finger-wagging at Congress who, if they really are the linchpin here, Obamo had all to himself in 2010.

    Someone needs to wag a finger right back in big-ear’s face and say, “YOU had Congress in your back pocket since you parachuted into town, and in 2010 you decided to pivot AWAY from the economy and jobs. It was there for you in 2010, but you had your socialistic toy box you wanted to play with first.”

    Tough nuggets how ‘frustrated’ he is now.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Böner’s office now confirms the White House did, in fact, call the office and that the office raised no objection to the date offered. Böner’s office added, it did not necessarily approve the date, it merely raised no objection to it. Petty. Boorish. Disrespectful. To our President and to the presidency. Of course, if President Obama were White, I am sure this would not have happened.

    The mindset of the liberal press: Jonathan Capehart had this to say yesterday BEFORE Boehner countered; “That was one bad-ass move by President Obama. For weeks, MSNBC has been showing commercials for the first post-Labor Day presidential debate with all of the declared Republican candidates. Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. This afternoon, the White House announced the date and time when Obama would release his long-awaited jobs plan. Sept. 7 at 8 p.m.
    But, wait. There’s more. Obama will do it before a joint session of Congress. While the folks onstage at the Reagan Library try to look presidential in the eyes of viewers and voters, Obama’s address in the House chamber communicates clearly, “I AM the president of the United States.” ”

    You can just feel the glee that little Jonathan had.  AFTER Boehner bitch-slapped Obama, Capehart says ” the setting and day of Obama’s address are not nearly as important what he has to say.”.

    Just cuz Carney says it doesn’t make it true. 
    Your “two salient points” seem to be flat out false….unless you drink the cool aide.  This is all about politics, it is all this campaigner in chief does, he doesn’t lead, he points the finger of blame and goes around to parties, raises money, golfs, drinks, smokes, etc.

    PRINCETON, NJ — Conservatives have maintained their leading position among U.S. ideological groups in the first half of 2010. Gallup finds 42% of Americans describing themselves as either very conservative or conservative. This is up slightly from the 40% seen for all of 2009 and contrasts with the 20% calling themselves liberal or very liberal.

    It never ceases to amaze me how unintelligent, uneducated, and all around boorish liberals are.

    I was responding to “The Real Royal Emperor” who brought up race saying that this wouldn’t happen if Obama were white. Also, I’ve observed much data out there to suggest my response was correct. But so what, everyone has their reason to vote for a candidate. Facts don’t necessarily have to be bad things. So you were responding to me b/c of race as I was responding to racial remarks.

    The following is mostly a cut and paste of my comment to another post with a couple of tweaks, because I see no need to generate something entirely new for what came after a break.
    —-

    The entire discussion in the other Morning Joe clip is a bunch of bunk based on partisanship and political games, while in this case, the “adult in the room” meme is a tremendous reach.

    I don’t know if senior White House aides were aware of the Republican debate, but someone should have checked the schedule and I assume that it also wasn’t on Boehner’s radar initially, but they should have had someone vet the date. In the above clip, Carney says someone called and it sounds like the person on the phone in Boehner’s office wasn’t looking at their Yahoo: Calendar at the time, but the White House should have waited for formal acceptance before announcing.

    (If the negotiations were done in a back room, the President’s staff wouldn’t be publicly embarrassed and they wouldn’t be grasping at Congress’ upcoming 2-day work week as a Hail Mary pass)

    Nevertheless, once the date was out there and blogs like this called it a shrewd political move, Boehner’s office had no choice but to push back. Colby and others claimed it’d diminish the Republican field and some bloggers implied that it was purposeful, what else was Boehner to do? The problem isn’t that they aren’t politically afraid of the President or in this era of anti-pork, the President is going to effectively lobby against one of Speaker Boehner’s pet projects. Instead, the date should have been cleared by the White House, Boehner’s office needs to coordinate better with the Republican field and the speech should not have been announced until it was scheduled.

    Of course, what makes this more of a political loss for President Obama — in addition to a blowhards saying he “caved” or Morning Joe calling him weak — is that the speech is going to be a disappointment, especially after all of this added hype. 

    Short of direct-hiring, something the Republicans aren’t going to allow, most everything the President will propose will have to go through Congress and the political system, then whatever gets passed will need time to work. There’s not going to be an instant creation of jobs next week and programs to goose the economy or rhetoric geared toward the private sector are going to need time to work, a hard row to hoe, especially in an election year.

    The government does not create jobs, has never created jobs and will never, excluding those having government payrolls. In other words make work jobs which produce salaries but no useful product. The real unemployment figures should have the drones factored out.

No, not political at all. I would have told the President no as well, what difference do a few days make? Carney sounds rationale about it today, but the petty first response yesterday, tell us all we need to know about how Obama feels about the Republicans, and the candidates going after his job.

You and your TeaTurd cronies idiotic idea that by stopping spending we are going to climb out of a reccession is antiquated bullshit rhetoric you repeat like a parrot because your rich puppet masters have told you this is the truth. It so laughable thinking taking billions of dollars out of the economy is going to bring about job growth. How stupid do you have to be? We need to RAISE TAXES. There are more money in corporate coffers then ever before. They are not creating more jobs. They are taking dividends and bonuses. WTF up.

    Facts are tricky little things. If you examine and believe poll data you will find that to be true. I am not saying it is a bad thing. You might question those responding to the polls.  Did they just want to be a part of history? Are they racists? Of course, they are not racist. It would be like saying that employers that use affirmative action hirings are racists. The whole race accusation thing becomes the argument of last resort. Facts are just facts. And I can find something wrong with every past president that has been in office. Does that mean I am anti-white?  At least in those cases you could openly criticize them and not be called a racist.  My theory about those charging racism is latent and hidden racism within; the same thing you would attribute to a religious right guy preaching against homosexuality while hiding out in the airport bathroom.  All Hypocrites.

    Good question? Either it shows how unorganized his presidential campaign manager is or his master schedule keeper (Valerie Jarrett) or it was intentional- to remind all the republican presidential wanna-be candidates that he IS the president, so they can accommodate him. Carney’s first response sure backs up that petty notion. Until it became clear this would turn into something bigger and appear as a conflict, it has now been downgraded to sound like a typical scheduling issue that could happen to anyone-no big. Move -on….

    FACT: the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists DO NOT WANT the unemployed (which their FAILED POLICIES HELPED CREAT) to have REAL, capitalist-created jobs – because then they would be “dependent” on the “evil” private sector and, Allah forbid!, themselves, instead of being dependent on BIG GOVERNMENT handouts through “wealth and income re-distribution”– and these mental defectives actually believe that would be a BAD THING !

    EVERY REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS SHOULD BOYCOTT THIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN SPEECH BY OBOZO.

    It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE when NO-PLAN OBOZO shovels out his latest “protect-my-job” proposal.

    NO-PLAN OBOZO’s jobs proposal (after the VACATIONER-in-CHIEF returns from his latest luxury vacation on the Vineyard) will be nothing more than a joke and a sham. It will have one goal – to be so ridiculously bad, useless and wasteful that the responsible members of Congress will have no choice to reject it. Then NO-PLAN OBOZO will have achieved his REAL goal with this sham proposal – use it to falsely claim that he “would have saved or created millions more jobs if only Congress had accepted his (ridiculous, wasteful, phony) proposal.”  And the d-cRAT socialist stooges in the socialist media will all chime in and agree (naturally).

    He really is a lousy liar, isn’t he?

    the White House wasn’t trying play politics, they were simply trying to
    arrange an opportunity for the president to speak to the American people
    about jobs.

    They don’t need a Joint Session to address the American people. All they need to do is work that out with the networks and set up the teleprompter.

    Of course they’re playing politics.

    Yes. Obama’s letter to Boehner specified 8 PM, the same time as the debate.

    Jay Carney looks like Ron Howard’s older brother who happened to inherit his mother’s hair. Sorry, I can’t listen to the guy without thinking that he is getting paid in fraternity paddles from the yet to be fired staff of pages over at the white house. spank spank.

    So funny how doing the speech on Thursday is no big deal now,albeit the MSM is crying its eyes out over Barry having to change the date.

    Strange, they were so silent when the libs were doing this to Bush:

    Doing the speech on Thursday was never a big deal for the WH.  Yes, the MSM (and especially the crackpot media) made a big deal out of it.  All a bunch of twelve-year-olds.  Except for Faux. They’re 10, 11 tops.

    So what.

    Hmmm.  It might actually be an insult to associate idiotic pieces of white trash with this guy.

    I knew This would be the out come. President Obama does not have to compete with the seven dwarfs or “Queen Tears”! With a better standing in the polls than any of the dwarfs, the president and everyone else knows this will be one contentious Republican primary. We need to know who will come out on top, and I want to see if there will be a debate. Last time there was no debate, they just took turns hammering the president. This ”do nothing-inhibit the president” Congress will again do nothing as their entire concentration is to stymie the president and kill every bill passed by the last Congress. This Congress has been taken over by the confrontational TEA party, rendering the GOP defunct and useless! It astounds me that people are easily manipulated and gullible to fall for the lies and falsifications put forth by the TEA party. How can educated Americans get so hood-winked by these single viewed, one-eyed career politicians? There is repeated emphasis that this is President Obama’s legacy, the failed recovery and a double-dip recession, when in fact it is Congress’ failed recovery and recession. Congress has the purse strings and legislation which controls the US economy. The president is a class man, effective leader and a killer of Bin Ladin, moved out Moammar Khaddafy, and Atiyah abd al-Rahman is dead! Let’s see who’s gonna be his rival!

    You have a point…

  • Republicans are Liars

    StoneIdiot… You are certainly the thought leader when it comes to  racism in the 21st century. Your mantra is deny it obssesively, accuse the oppressed with being racists, declare yourself the victim, stand above it as beig enlightened, subtley legislate it back into law, cry foul every day and declare states rights are really about states rights. I know your program you racist piece of Santorum.

    If the white house is so intent on creating jobs, why is it keeping over 1,000 workers out of work at the new Boeing plant in S.C. ?

    My guess is Obama got what he wanted all along regarding the date and time of the big jobs speech.

    If you don’t see much of a problem with the current Obama – GE/NBC relationship, you won’t think much of my guess.

    With NBC broadcasting the football game, Obama will get the most favorable treatment possible, before, during and after the game.

    If Obama had chosen the game day spot first, he would have had an even bigger up-roar to deal with.

    Now, Obama comes off as the great compromiser, he tweaks the GOP a bit and gets the favorable treatment from NBC.  Yes, the football fanatics are a little irritated, they will get over it.

    Like pigs in a blanket. Obama and NBC together in hog heaven again, oh my.

    I also guess there is still a lot of snickering going on at the White House and GE/NBC.

    America, you got played. Just a guess.
