The Right Wing loons are already having a field day with this one. It’s either:
- No one wants to work with Obama
or - There are so many scandals now that everyone is jumping ship to avoid Obama’s taint

I could never really tell if this guy is just a darn weasel or just doing his best to protect and cover for his boss. Either way, it was about time that his nonsense got wiped out of the WH as press secretary.
Book writing and lecturing for a year or so at some DC college would be my prediction.

Brain-dead right-wingers respond to any news whatever with “how can I say this is horrible news for Obama”? Ultimately, out comes the ludicrous mind-twisting hate meme du jour, which those in their bubble will immediately accept as what “everyone” is saying.
But frankly, who gives a crap what such pointless little people have to say about anything?

You people are amazing. Carney has defended the administration just the same as every Press Secretary in every administration before him, but somehow Carmey is evil because Benghazi, minorities, and foreigners.

I guess its too much to ask that the publication of the inevitable tell-all book be delayed until after 2016.

So you have no understanding of what press secretaries do?
You don’t have to dance around it, you can come out and admit it.

Well, yeah, but they all worked for real presidents not this uppity usurper who dares to pretend like he’s just as good as a regular, ordinary president.

Humm! Josh Earnest the new Press Secretary! I’m betting the top requirement for job was determined to be “the importance of being Earnest”. It looks looks they got their man! Best of luck to Jay Carney. He will be missed.

My bad. I sometimes forget the Republican rule that this president is unlike all other presidents, and should be abused, disrespected, maligned, etc accordingly. Even though the only major difference between this president and the ones before him is skin color, Republicans are soooo not racist for treating him differently. We’re the real racists for noticing.

Boy, the resignations of both Jay Carney and General Shinsecki on the same day! The wrath of John McKhan must be some powerful juju!
Press Secretary tends to be a stressful job and it’s pretty normal for them to pack it in after a few years. GW Bush had several as well.

I thought Press Secretaries were supposed to come out and say, “Wow, the chief really f’d up the call on the Ukraine yesterday. And our Syria policy is a shambles. Well, we didn’t get caught in any lies this week, so that’s good. Okay, any questions?”

So which of the 4 press secretaries GWB blew through gets this “good riddance to bad rubbish” treatment from you? Or is it just the ones serving under this uppity fella in the WH?
If you’re going to make comments like this, take 3.5 seconds out of your life to Google first so you can find some facts…such as, on average, 2 term Presidents have had anywhere from 3 to 5 press secretaries during their terms; most have had 4. President Obama has had only 2, and now his third with Carney’s resignation. The only ones to have less than that have been one-termers.
Or better yet, take your racist pointless waste of air ass out the next door you see, find an empty stadium, and have ALL the seats.

Josh Earnest? His parents really had a sense of humor.
