Jay Carney’s Worst Press Briefing? about AVERAGE WASNT IT?

[pgkdan]

Geez...there are so many possibilities, how can you pick just one???

[Sir Napsalot]

>>> Jay Carney’s Worst Press Briefing?

How can anyone tell?

It stopped being amusing to see him squirm A LOOOOOONG Time ago.

Somebody should compile his facial expressions to post on youtube, I’ll bet it would be an instant hit.

So many to choose from ...

He doesn’t ever answer anything and usually no one says a word. I am surprised an ABC reporter was asking real questions, that reporter may find himself off the list of reporters allowed to report on the President or whatever it is actually called.

[Mears]

Did he have his “deer in the headlights” look?

I have to admit I’d probably have it too if I had to be a spokesman for The One.

Karl then asked Carney about the main contractor that built the website, CGI, and why they were hired after being fired by a provinvial health agency of Ontario, Canada.

Great question, Karl!

Meet Toni Townes-Whitley, Senior Vice President at CGI Federal for Civilian Agency programs. (She's the one in the middle.)

Was CGI an affirmative-action hire by HHS?

Was it a race-trumps-competence hire?

Was it a crony hire?

We report, you decide.

He can filibuster. Give absurd answers. Stonewall. Make jokes about serious issues. Name call. Distract. Whatever.

The media will cover for him.

It's good to be on the commie team.

[MrB]

What a highly diverse group!
not a white guy to be seen

[knarf]

Isn’t the one on the right the fainter ?

RE: “You can’t really charge people a fine for not getting health insurance if you don’t fix this mess,” Karl said.

Carney: “They are not being fined. Just ask Justice Roberts.”

[Signalman]

“Was CGI an affirmative-action hire by HHS?”

“Was it a race-trumps-competence hire?”

“Was it a crony hire?”

Yes, yes and...yes.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It’s always entertaining when an idiot defends a turd.

So, judging by that photo they designed Obamacare in a black woman’s garage?

[Nervous Tick]

>> judging by that photo they designed Obamacare in a black woman’s garage?

heh... well, there’s no *proof* of that, however, there IS evidence. :-)

There’s also evidence that it was coded by the proverbial thousand monkeys with typewriters.

[I want the USA back]

Couldn’t happen to a more despicable man.

Later, a reporter asked if the Obamacare website was beta-tested before it was launched, and though Carney knows “what beta tested means,” he could only say that “there was no question that the website has not performed up to expectations.”

Does Carny really know what beta-tested means? Was the system actually beta-tested? By definition, a beta-test would have had to involve testers (potential users), who had nothing to do with developing the system. I've never heard any mention of a beta test & you would think that it would have made the news -- somewhere.

I suspect that it was alpha-tested (i.e. by tested by insiders only), and that the alpha test was truncated in the rush to beat launch deadlines.

>> the alpha test was truncated in the rush to beat launch deadlines

Taking a page out of the Demonrat Congress playbook, they simply “deemed the software to have been tested” so they could move on.
