After a long back-and-forth between Ed Henry, FOX News' White House correspondent and press secretary Jay Carney about President Obama's lack of a public plan, Carney told Henry to tell his viewers everything will be okay:
Ed Henry, FOX News: "But over the weekend, Democrats were saying there's going to be a drop if there is no action. Asian markets are going to crash on Sunday. It didn't happen. American markets didn't crash on Monday, hopefully they haven't crashed -- why should people believe ..."
Jay Carney, WH press secretary: "You should go on the air and tell your viewers there is nothing to worry about."

There is nothing to worry about.................
“....your viewers....’

Sounds like classic “Us Against Them” thinking.
Yo Carney: Got Civil War if you want it.
Actually, I think the cat is out of the bag with the whole “default” lie. The public knows that “default” is a bunch of hooey and are willing to put aside the debt limit hike in lieu of comprehensive debt destruction. By saying that there’s nothing to worry about, I’m concerned about what they have planned.
They either know that a debt plan is going to pass or Obama is going to claim dictatorial rule over Congress, sparking a leadership crisis.

My interest is piqued now with this whole debt limit shamwow.
Lets see what happens if nothing happens! How much you wanna bet nothing happens except to shate that don't matter anyway.

Graham will be against what he knows won’t pass.
atc23, I’ve for not raising the limit and see what happens. If everything crashes go in and raise the limit.
Didn’t Art Carny say that same thing to Jackie Gleason when they were heading into the sewers?
Let Zero raise it himself...his and others delusion that the 14th amendment gives him that authority...will lead to a slap down by the USSC and MAYBE get the house off their butts and start impeachment proceedings.
Sure, Carney-—and those shower rooms really are shower rooms too...
Carney to FOX News: “Tell your rightwing viewers we can now track their whereabouts via their cell phones.”
IMO that’s what he really wanted to say.
Bobo may be an puerile ideologue puke, but you would think some combo of the Clintons, Podesta, and top donors could explain this to him on his University Graduate Assistant's level, the de minimus Gestalt that Bobo operates on.
Not that I'm complaining that Bobo is throwing away his re-election with both hands, but it's telling, very telling...
