President Obama has chosen former journalist Jay Carney to replace press secretary Robert Gibbs, a longtime loyalist, when he leaves the post in mid-February, according to a senior administration official.

The White House will also name two new deputy chiefs of staff: Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the Office of Health Reform, and Alyssa Mastromonaco, White House director of scheduling and advance.

Carney, now the communications director for Vice President Biden, came to the White House in 2009 after a long career in journalism that included serving as Washington bureau chief of Time magazine.

The White House had made clear it was interested in tapping an outsider for the post...

Everything Obammie the Commie does is calculated for only one result:

To improve his popularity.

This was an obvious attempt to recapture the waning support of the young.

And let’s call them “young” and not “youth.”

They are young and they are fools who fell for this communist. They are young and they are fools who continue to support this communist.

Ah, a real metroseual snotface. I'll bet he tosses the salad in the kitchen while Shipman shovels snow outside.

He's got big shoes to fill after the departure of Gibbs who could outslime a lizard....but I think he's up to the task.

On Hannity tonight, Joe Trippi thought Sarah (stating the obvious idiocy of the acronym) was being childish.

Imagine, a Democrat calling someone else childish.

If Hannity could think on his feet, he should have come back with, ‘She’s never sounded anywhere near as immature as your client, Howard Dean, when he uttered his famous scream’. Throw them off balance every now and then; watch them stutter. This could be fun, if conservatives just knew which buttons to push.

“Carney’s conservative-bashing credentials are solid.

Those on the right will remember Carney’s shameless attempt to blame Rush Limbaugh and conservative bloggers for spreading an ugly, empty rumor about Michelle Obama that was disseminated by Hillary Clinton supporter Larry Johnson.

Blame Righty skillz to pay the billz? Check!”

Heh, so another refugee from the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms lands in a scumbag Democrat White House regime.
(yawn)
When he’s done this gig he can return to the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms by taking an anchor job - a la George Stephanopalous - - with CBS, NBC, CNN, or ABC. What a racket these scumbags have going.

I seriously think that most FReepers would have better come back lines than Hannity and a few others in the Media that supposedly “speak for us”.

Liberals get away with murder, whether they are Reporters, Commentators, Entertainers or run of the mill hacks.

The Propaganda Ministry is working overtime and we have no response team that reaches the Citizenry. Talk to people who aren't as Politically “involved” as we are and see for yourself how the deck is stacked against Conservatives and Republicans.

I have revised one of my motto's. Here it goes.

Republicans assume people are informed while Democrats know people are ignorant. It's the only explanation.

Whoa... Carney reminds me of that sleazeball who used to lie for Bill Clinton, the one who was a wife beater, according to reports... Sid Blumenthal, I think his name was? Remember that piece of sh!+? He got caught with his pants down, lying on the courthouse steps about his grand jury testimony. That was hilarious! Anyway, another day, another lying, blow-dry scumbag.

You said it. I used to take some hope in the lowering numbers of the MSM. Yet their influence scarcely seems to wane. Fewer and fewer people watch their propaganda, yet their memes still prevail. It is very frustrating.

Just 8 of the 14 total Time covers.

Only 14? Seems like 1400 over the past 2+ years... *barf*

I do believe Obama was on the cover of Time in 2008 more often than anyone else.

According to Bernie Goldberg on FOX News yesterday, Obama will be again on the cover of Time Mag in an upcoming issue for the 22nd time since 2008.
