But the decision to leave the Obama administration came weeks ago, multiple sources including one in the West Wing told MailOnline. ´He first started talking about it in late April,´ the White House insider said Friday after the decision was made final.

Hoping the new spokesclown has a honeymoon period right at the critical time, eh?

Wonder if Carney was a member of JournoList

IIRC he was with Time Magazine at the time but I can't swear to that.

It’s just the 7th inning stretch. I’m quite sure the next anti-American press secretary spokes-thing will knock our socks off.

Most of Fed officals are sociopaths. They don’t understand the world under their feet, and the people that occupy it in a sympathetic manner. They have no concept of human systems. That’s why the bully competent people out, they are alarmed by folks that actually understand the world.

When they reach critical mass, as they now have, their indifference to the Human condition becomes blatantly obvious.

America needs to target sociopaths as they do mass-murderers, as they share the same mental deviance.

Sociopaths understand two things: people they need to fear and people they need to crush.

I hadn’t known Carney was married to an ABC reporter. I suppose it would be awkward now that even ABC is questioning the honesty of Obama’s press secretary.

Another pajama boy bites the dust. He needs to just go for it and hire that ex-Saturday night live guy John Lebowitz.
Yeahhh, that’s it...

I think he needed to be gone prior to the new Benghazi hearings.

Actually, it was far worse than the ‘strain on family life’ — it was that Jay Carney actually told the truth! No amount of lies could rebuild his credibility as a congenital liar with the Obama Media. The only way out was a forced retirement. Obama, his master, knows who he will pick for Jay's replacement. [Note: Wife and journalist Claire Shipman (ABC's Good Morning America) is out because she's now the only income producer for the family.]

These people always change about this time. He wants to start making(or stealing)real money while really doing nothing. Wants to join that extortion gravy train while he can.
