Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney -- a longtime journalist before he joined the Obama administration in its infancy -- is back in the media game as a political analyst for CNN.
We caught up with Carney on Wednesday, in the hours before President Obama addresses the nation to outline his plan for dismantling ISIS, the brutal terrorist group that's roiling Iraq and Syria.
A former White House insider, Carney had insight into how the President and his team are preparing for such a major address.
But he also riffed on the state of the news media, the "not ideal" state of the White House press briefing, Hillary Clinton's potential campaign and how Twitter has accelerated the political news cycle.
CNN: So pull back the curtain a little bit, if you can, before tonight's speech. What is happening today? Who is in the room with the president, and what is he doing in there?
Carney: When speeches are important like this one, the president is the primary writer of the speech. He will get a draft, a very good one, from his team. From Ben Rhodes and Cody Keenan. But he will spend a good amount of time making sure it's really what he wants to say. I am sure as we get closer to speech time he will be fine-tuning it, working with his team. And he is keenly aware of the unique opportunity to give a speech to the nation. They don't come that often. There aren't that many occasions, outside of a State of the Union address, where a president in this media age has an audience as big as he'll have tonight.....

Quite a first: freepers thanking the MSM.
Baloney. The networks would give live coverage to Zero taking a dump and praising him as a visionary.
Thank goodness “smell-o-vision” doesn’t exist yet.
Carney—STFU, please!!!!!
Yet I manage to smell the distinct odor of horse manure every time these clowns pop on my tv.
Tell Princess Obama to get a YouTube account, for crying out loud.
Damn, I’ve never seen so much pathetic whining come out of any White House!

Excellent!
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did get one.
Carney, the guy who hangs Commie Propaganda Posters all over his house.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh ... uh, uh .....
“He is a different kind of person than the kind of person who usually takes this office.”
Carney on Obama
He’s right you know. Almost every one of our presidents tended to be fairly competent, heterosexual Americans who loved their country and liberty.
Obama has definitely deviated therefrom, set different precedents and proven to be none of the above. And Jay Carney, former administration toad; currently, impartial, unbiased member of the Fourth estate.
Actually it has been tried, just watch out for number 2:
Imagine if the Press treated Obama thee same way they treated Bush.
They would have to stop Obama from throwing his Press Secretary off the roof of the White House.
Well, he would probably make Biden do it knowing that a Jury would never convict a Mentally Handicapped Geezer.
Slick Willie loved to gab on TV too.
I think it’s interesting that CNN has removed their commenting ability.
