Did Jay Carney slip and almost say something obvious?

In his interview Tuesday with Bret Baier on Fox News' Special Report, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained why any bill failing to push the debt ceiling problem past the next election is unacceptable.

"It would leave the cloud hanging over our ca--economy." (Watch it here, at about minute 2:15)

The word "campaign" seemed more likely to have come out than "economy" in the phrase, particularly since clearing next year's re-election effort of further debt limit debate seems to have taken on greater importance to the President lately than any other single point of negotiation

SpokesWhore Carney is one of the endless array of well-paid democrat party professional liars.

Some work for the Regime directly funded by taxpayers.

Some work for the Regime Media.

The administration is talking about a depression if the republicans don’t drop their opposition to their budget plans. This makes me wonder if a collapse is now inevitable.

[Sans-Culotte]

Bump for later.

It’s always all about politics with Obama...

How come we never see Art Carney being interviewed by his reporterette wife, Claire Shipman?

Oh. And Art, if Urkel's vote against raising the debt ceiling in 2006 was just him "playing politics", how come we shouldn't believe he's playing politics now?

[Calusa]

I’m Shocked that politics is being practiced.

[ClearCase_guy]

The Democrats are clearly looking at the debt crisis as a political problem for their party.

Of course, I think that's a shame. Where is their patriotism? Where is their concern for citizens and for the next generation? How can they justify playing political games with something so monumentally important?

Now, having said all that, it is what it is. The debt crisis is a political football, because that is the game they are playing.

And the conclusion is -- we need to play this game so that Obama looks as bad as possible in 2012. That should perhaps be our number one goal.

I don't like to play that way, but I'm not sure we have a choice.

(And Boehner's desperate plan to surrender to Obama is going precisely the opposite way: Obama comes out a winner, the GOP comes out weak. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.)

The truth almost choked him.................

Explains why he is threaten veto on many of the plans, Its all about 2012.

It is the same reason Obamacare kicks in after the election.

WHAT debt limit?... I don’t see the federal debt being limited..
Its Not been limited, reamains UNlimited.. any limits are just political..

Theres really NO LIMITS.. The debt limit is a mirage.. that only a few republicans can see..
The debt limit is a specter, an imagination,, a ghost... just rhetoric..

[novemberslady]

ps to all you greedy rat bastards-

You thieves have been taking Americans money at gunpoint for years for social security.
Now you have the balls to say that social security checks might not be sent out to people who have been forced against their will to contibute into the fund.
You thieves have stolen enough from the American people.
Just stop it.

I agree, they messed up the lame duck session, actually helped Obama make a comeback and put a damper on the momentum from the midterm elections.

[Pharmboy]

Obummer is really the functioning DNC Chairman who happens to be POTUS. Not fun for the country...

[Lumper20]

The Press Secretary is nothing but the Chief Obama communist party propaganda commissar.
