Does the “we don’t want to relitigate the battles of the past” line mean the regime will never answer questions about anything it does, since once it’s done, it’s in the past? Oh, pretty clever there, Carney. They’ve become incredibly emboldened in their lies and evasions.
I hope President Bush got as good of a chuckle from this mumbo jumbo as I did.

Jay Blarney taking up where Robert Fibbs left off.
Apparently the goal was to bankrupt The Country; it certainly hasn't created any jobs.

Translation: We can't answer that question.

In regards to “repeal” the Affordable Care Act
Obama - November 2010
“Well, I know that there’s some Republican candidates who won last night who feel very strongly about it. I’m sure that this will be an issue that comes up in discussions with the Republican leadership.
