Sarah Palin's charge that the Secret Service prostitute scandal highlighted President Barack Obama's "poor management skills" drew a sharp rebuke Friday from the White House, where chief spokesman Jay Carney dubbed it absurd and politically motivated.
"It is preposterous to politicize the Secret Service," Carney told reporters at his daily briefing.
Palin and Republican Senator Jeff Sessions have in recent days charged that the scandal, coupled to the outrage over the General Services Administration's lavish spending on a convention in Las Vegas, reflect poorly on Obama. Those two controversies, as well as the tragic mass slaying of Afghan civilians, allegedly by an American soldier, have overshadowed much of the White House's agenda in recent weeks.
"What they're doing is trying to turn these incidents — one that's still under investigation — to political advantage," Carney charged when asked about critics who lump the three issues together. "On the face of it, it's a ridiculous assertion that trivializes both the very serious nature of the endeavor that our military is engaged in in Afghanistan and the very serious nature both of the work that the Secret Service does, the apolitical nature of the institution, and the seriousness of the investigation under way," the spokesman said.

Is it now? The buck stops where??
It’s “preposterous” because Palin said it? Yeah, uh huh.
Hey, ya dumb Carney, the agent made the remark about HER. Of course she has the right to respond.
C'mon Jay, you don't do the same thing????
Carney is an insect.
“What they’re doing is trying to turn these incidents — one that’s still under investigation — to political advantage,”
In other words, “where does Sarah get off acting like one of us!”
and has never, ever run anything as complex as a lemonaide stand.
Hey, that’s not true. I remember hearing Obama brag about working at an Ice Cream shop for a short time. While he was there, he gave his friends free icecream. Technically, it wasn’t “free” because he was stealing from his employer.
This would have never have happened under Reagan,either Bush or even Clinton.
Obama degrades everything he touches. People sense leadership and professionalism{or in this case,lack of} and respond accordingly.
