White House Press Secretary Jay Carney barely survived the briefing today. CBS' Chip Reid was clearly fed up watching the administration do nothing about Libyan atrocities while claiming they were responding with "unprecedented" speed. Today the clock ran out on the White House and their dithering was exposed.
Q On no-fly zone, what exactly is the U.S. -- the administration's position before the Security Council?
MR. CARNEY: Our position, Chip, remains that we are evaluating a number of options, military options, including --
Q But a decision has to be made now.
MR. CARNEY: -- including a no-fly zone. We feel that it is important that any action like that that might be taken should be done in concert with our international partners. Through the United Nations would be our preferable vehicle for that, and therefore we would look to the U.N. as a forum for evaluating that option. I think I mentioned yesterday that today is the deadline for the no-fly zone option to -- preparations or plans to be submitted in Brussels at NATO. And I believe the NAC will review those tomorrow. So this process is moving forward.....
Q But wouldn't it be fair to say -- accurate to say the United States is still sitting on the fence on this? Isn't it time to make a decision, yes or no?
MR. CARNEY: Well, Chip, you tell me if as an American citizen would you want your President not to consider all the implications and ramifications of taking military action.
Q Doesn't there come a point to make a -- where you have to make a decision?

I’m shocked that Teh One hasn’t appointed a Blue Ribbon Commission to look into this Libyan thingie yet.
I was married once to a person with this style of “decision making”. You sit on the fence until someone or something makes the decision for you, then you bitch about how bad things turn out, because of course you aren’t responsible, right? You would have done it differently if only there was a little more time. Cowardly.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

On target, like a laser beam. He is an 'odd' man. Was the oddness a product of all the odd people that raised him, or has someone made him odd for a special purpose?
Obama’s busy packing for Rio.
the media decided to vet Obama as a president when they should have done it while he was running for the office. the media wanted a blackman in the office instead of a man who happened to be black in the WH. they got their wish and we will pay dearly for this.
Chip, ask DumBO about his golf game, that, is something he cares about.
The real truth is that he has accomplished what he was elected to do: Nationalize/socialize health care and ruin the capitalist economy.
yitbos
Now Obama can eat his waffles anytime.
Not until we’ve completed all the polling we can devise on this issue.
Obama has been confronted with and made many critical decisions in the last few weeks such as which driver or which putter to use. Very important and critical decisions indeed!!! What has America done to be saddled with such a Clymer?
All the reporters have turned into slavering war-mongers. That’s because any war fought on the wrong side by a Democrat president is, to their way of thinking, a good thing.
Quite right that Obama, as usual, is voting “present.” But it’s a whole lot better than clinton going to war against the Serbs to distract attention from Monicagate. What was the PURPOSE of Clinton’s war? To hurt our allies and hand Kosovo to drug smuggling Muslimn Albanian thugs and terrorists? Who are now busy smuggling body parts as well as drugs, with our help and that of the UN?
No, if Obama was a real President he would simply say, “No, we have no stake in this war. Let them settle it.” But that would be too simple and direct for the Congenital Liar in the White House. He’s always got to have it both ways.
I'd give more credit to his puppeteers like Soros than him, but your point is definitely valid.
He really had very little to do with health care, too - it was virtually all Pelosi, while Obama couldn't make a clear statement if he favored the public option or not.
LMAO!!!
8^D
Ha Ha. Love the pic.!!
He doesn't have the foggiest idea what to do.
And he doesn't care.
Bump!
He is Yurtle the Turtle.
