ABC News' Jake Tapper confronts White House press secretary Jay Carney over President Obama's schedule which has included a lot of traveling.

That was my first impression. Generally, Carney is a bit more wordy, evasive, and nebulous with his answers.

Does Carney sound a little too prepared for this question?

Well the question was asked and answered, now move along and this does not need to be brought up again.............My impression.

If this was Bush, it would be a 24/7 question for a month........Just saying.

Anyone else would be in prison. Barry the Kenyan is always going to get a free pass. Too many Americans fear him and his communist comrades.

Sounds to me like Jay “Opie” Carney already had Jakes question before hand and had a prepared answer.
