Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 1/23/12
Q What were you thinking of when you said that there are -- were some examples, instances where the tone got in the way of moving forward?

MR. CARNEY: Well, I'm not going to -- I think you guys reported on them so you know. I can remember, early in my days as Press Secretary, spending an awful lot of time answering questions about the President's birth certificate, which seemed like a gratuitously stupid sideshow at a time when we had enormously important things to do. That's just one.
But the point is that we have -- our challenges are too big to get dragged down by these kinds of things. And that's what the President believes and that's what he has believed and spoken about since he got in the business of electoral politics and it's going to be what he continues to talk about tomorrow night and beyond.

Is that worry on your brow, bro?
Seems like some more pointed, and direct, questions by the press need to be asked. The ones asked by them so far have been rather tame and lame.

Here's an easy one...Is this sitting President a natural born citizen or not when his Father wasn't even a US citizen?

I’d like to see exactly where any of the Washington press asked questions about Obama’s birtt certificate. It didn’t become a “hot” issue until Trump started talking about it. And even then, the LMSM was treating Trump like he was crazy, and made excuses for Obama. If I were a reporter I’d be asking Carney what the hell he’s talking about??

It would be interesting to here the MSM ask about or mention the following:

“Minor v. Happersett”

These words seem to be the 3rd rail in the MSM-sphere right now. They will not touch it.
