Carney to Reporter: 'Read the Federal Register, I Know That'd Be a Lot to Ask'
Weekly Standard ^ | 7/10/13

Posted on 07/10/2013 4:46:26 PM PDT by Nachum

White House spokesman Jay Carney told a Fox News reporter to "read the Federal Register" in response to whether the president had the authority to change parts of the Obamacare law:

"The ability to postpone the deadline is clear," said Carney.

"I invite you to read the Federal Register," he said. "I know that'd be a lot to ask."

"You'll have to ask me?" the reporter said.

"Yes," said Carney, smirking. "Exactly."

Yes, that is a lot to ask. You know how thick that thing is?

Sorry Jay, you ignorant slut...

The “Federal Register” has nothing to do with it. The section of the law referring to the implementation date plainly has the word “shall.” No wiggle room.

“Shall” is an imperative, and Barky just wants to break the law yet again.

Obama is acting as if he has a de facto line-item veto.

haha!
They are weak. Because they appeal to what is weak within us,
and people,
throughout history
have joined and supported things
that proved their destruction,
Eventually.
We’ll see in the end.

I always liked sea stories.

Can someone please explain what the Federal Register has to do with this? And how?

The most transparent administration ever or so they say.

Not me.
That should’a been carney barker’s job,
if anyone had the stones to put his feet to the fire that is.

Most are ball-less, limping hypocrites.
Eunuchs if you will.
So frightened for for their paychecks,
they suck their master’s will.

Forget the rhyme.
They suck.

You assume that Obama can read.

Anything more complicated than the TP.

Outstanding. So now all FReepers should ask:”Why, if they know that obama is/has commited an impeachable offense by selectively ignoring laws... why did the Congress today pass a resolution that the individual mandate is delayed?

In response to this illegality of the prez suspending the law... the Congress should act to defund the implementation of the law in THEIR Constitutional duty to not support an illegal Executive. Somebody please send this to Boehner and Cantor.,

The answer to why? They WANT obamacare (or the tired “repeal and replace” BS something like it) to be in place to support corporatist cost shifting away from any healthcare and shift that on the “government”. That is why they won’t defund it. The argument that delaying the indiv. mandate kills the bill just won’t wash. They have a golden opportunity to call obamaumao out. And not as much effort or distraction as an impeachment.

I don’t know why the press corps doesn’t just grab this dink and dunk his head in a toilet.

Because he said it to a Fox News reporter - the rest of the press corps was internally cheering him on.

Carney is just a simple asshole. Nuff said. I’d like to take his smarmy attitude and stuff it “where the sun don’t shine”! He should be executed for just being a “carney”. I don’t like the show so let’s get rid of the jerk.
