While things are falling apart in other parts of the world, things at the White House are busy — too busy to notice.

During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, newly minted Press Secretary Jay Carney responded to a question from CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller about when people might expect to hear President Barack Obama address the situation in Libya. Carney’s reason why they haven’t yet: Scheduling. (h/t Real Clear Politics Video)

“This is just a scheduling issue,” Carney said. “As I said, the president will meet with Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton this afternoon, his regular meeting and they will obviously discuss Libya. We will have something to say out of that meeting and if possible, the president will speak this afternoon or tomorrow.”

He has not meet with 6 Cabinet Members but meets weekly with SEIU and AFL-CIO weekly and talks daily.

These idiots in the White House are starting to make Jimmy Carter look competent by comparison.

We passed that mile marker some time ago. This administration has surpassed any previous one in the incompetance department by a wide margin.

[mojito]

“Present.”

[ridesthemiles]

“Scheduling issue”.

This is the same group of morons who complained long & loud about George Bush 43 NOT jumping up in panic & leaving the grade school classroom IMMEDIATELY when 9-11 opened up on us.

[Crimson Elephant]

Obama REALLY IS just a teleprompter reader. This is not just a joke, or some political statement to score points.

[dennisw]

He is busy jamming with his main man Reggie Love

[swain_forkbeard]

The issue is that he’s scheduled to be our President until 2013.

[John W]

There is still that possibility that its all on purpose.

‘And I’m here to help you people in the press do your jobs’ - Jay Carney, on his new role.

A scheduling issue? Are you kidding me? Who’s in charge? Obviously not Obie!

[drypowder]

I've maintained since he was immaculated into the presidency that he works for the mafia. Trumpka’s statements of his weekly visits to the WH along with the Obozo siding with the public employee unions pretty much clarifies who the Obozo really works for. Unionism (AFLCIO and affiliates) is nothing more than free money (shake down) for the mafia which in turn goes to keep the Democrats in office. An on going cycle that has run its’ course and will soon be stopped. Aside from all the rest I predict this issue will put the kibosh on the Obozo’z reelection. He is now the naked president.

[prophetic]

This 'scheduling issue' is indeed the biggest lying excuse of fumbling a major world issue by any president in USA history!!

And to think just how easily the left smeared Bush with the wicked lying mantra "Bush Lied, People Died". Obama is missing in action since he's afraid to offend a fellow muslim dictator and speak out in favor of the oppressed people of Libya.

[prophetic]

What has our boy said, if anything, on the killing of the four US Citizens by those Somali a - - holes?

Although he may not have the b@lls to say it, he's probably thinking "hey, they deserved it since they shouldn't be trying to convert Muslims to Christianity".

[Sir Napsalot]

Carter lost Iran. Obama lost the whole Middle East.

[liberalh8ter]

Obama’s an overachiever.

[FreeAtlanta]

He overachieved his abilities when he puts his pants on in the morning.

[Verginius Rufus]

Obama has a more urgent issue to deal with--how to crush Scott Walker.

No matter, if Qaddafi is ousted, the mainstream media will soon be telling us that it all happened because of Obama's skillful handling of the crisis.

[Freedom56v2]

Scheduling sure didn’t effect a prompt reaction to Wisconsin.

---

Community organizing against responsible conservative, budget-conscious governors has been his entire scheduling focus—oh that and withdrawing defense of marriage support. :(

[KevinDavis]

Actually he is taking the title of worse President from James Buchanan.. Jimmy was worse in our lifetime..

[4rcane]

omg, imagined if President Bush said something like that. Country burning around you, but I’m too busy to deal with it. I got a golf game tomorrow
