Carney: Obama “wasn’t pleased” with Petraeus scandal when he found out, just after the election

That’s their story and they’re stickin’ to it, I suppose. During the White House briefing today, Press Secretary Jay Carney affirmed the president’s confidence in Gen. Allen and iterated that the White House’s first inkling of all this came as a complete surprise after the election. Carney also emphasized the president’s eagerness to focus on his current number-one priority, a.k.a. jobs, the economy, and the fiscal cliff (which, I’m sure, is perfectly true — no good lingering on security concerns that bring any more attention to that Benghazi disaster, is it?).

I have some adjectives I could write, but in respect to our fine women and girls that populate this site, I'll skip doing so.

Jez Obama praised clinton, who was cic when he had his affair, and obama had him at every event he could get him, even a key note speaker at the dnc did seem to bother obama at all

Howcome I'm always the last one to find out about sh*t?

As often as Andrea Mitchell and every other fifth-column skank and Barry buttboy have reported in solemn tones that “Obama found out about the Petraeus scandal just after the election,” even recent voters having returned to their residences at the local cemetery will likely accept the story.

Couldn’t believe anything anyway but the “It’s the video” BS had me so po’ed I haven’t listened to the wanna-be-speaker-to-the-false-messiah since. Now, anything that comes out of that @$$clowns mouth I immediately think,”guilty, liar,” first without even the benefit of the doubt. Does this make me bad?

“Carney also emphasized the president’s eagerness to focus on his current number-one priority, a.k.a. jobs, the economy, and the fiscal cliff”

Hey, we speak “Obamese” here on FR!
(his) “eagerness”:

jobs: killing those that remain
the economy: completing its destruction
the fiscal cliff: driving off it

Of course when he finally succeeds it will be, “that darned Bush!” The MSM is already blaming the Republicans, to wit:

Right, just like how Obama didn't know that Blagojevich was trying to sell his Senate seat until after the last election, too.

yep, right there under that same fast & furious rug.

[a fool in paradise]

Republicans knew in October. FBI also knew.

Would Mr. Obama care to tell this same lie under oath before Congress?
