During a White House press briefing on Monday, Fox News Ed Henry asked Press Secretary Jay Carney if the White House displays a portrait of Saul Alinsky for its staff to look up to. Carneys answer was less than direct, and would seem to hint that there just might be something to the Alinsky portrait rumors.
I wonder if you could clear something up, Henry began.
Newt Gingrich keeps saying on the campaign trail that the Presidents vision comes from Saul Alinsky, the community organizer. I havent heard you asked about him but Is there some kind of portrait of him hanging up in the White House that people look up to or is this BS?
Look, Carney said. The Presidents background as a community organizer is well documented in his own books. His experience in that field contributed to who he is today. But his experiences abroad also included alot of other areas in his life. So Ill just leave it at that.

Someone would pay A LOT OF MONEY for a picture of that picture.
Judging by Carney’s evasive answer, I would most definitely say that the answer is “yes” and there is indeed a portrait of Saul Alinsky there...probably, as you say, replacing Winston Churchill.
Holy crap the portrait is probably where the Churchill statue was that Obama ordered gone.
This needs to be used in the debate someone alert Gingrich to say that Carney could not deny this so the American people are left to imagine Obama and his staff bowing to Alinsky.
Mr Carney, that was a yes or no question. Since you gave a weazel answer I will assume the real answer is yes.
Really.

I can't believe they're actually openly discussing that he's a community organizer. Cue the Twilight Zone music. It's like saying, "hey, the president's history as an operator of a ball-toss concession at the state fair is well documented in his books...."Oy.
Perhaps no portraits of Alinsky, but I’ve heard insiders say there are nauseating numbers of portraits of his disciple, our Narcisssist-in-Chief, Comrade Obama.
We, the people, have a right to know what’s hanging in the White House! Why is the White House press corps so pathetic that they allow their questions not to be answered?
Of course, some have decried this photo as an example of hysteria run amok but it is genuine.
In a SHRINE, more likely!
It's right next to the Che poster.
Unbelievable. Thanks for the post.
I laughed out loud at the thought, then watched the video. It must be true.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Newt had inside information.
That’s disgusting. The new occupant of the WH next year is going to have to disinfect the whole joint stem to stern.
Ask Carney about Barack Obama’s admitted cocaine abuse.
It’s acknowledged in the same books but it isn’t well documented. When did he last take a snort? How many years did he use it?
Did he ever smoke crack in a limo with a homosexual?
Obama has written that his own philosophy was shaped by Alinsky. Thank goodness, this is all coming out in the public conversation during this election. It has been a nightmare during his term. He does not deserve to be president; just by violating the constitution ( while people like RomNey allow it to take place) What a mess.
And canceling National Day of Prayer, but having Muslim prayer in White House.
