White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Obama "did not" watch the Republican last night. Instead, Carney said, Obama watched sports. Via the pool report:

When the conversation turned to the Republican convention, Mr. Carney was asked whether the president watched any of the speeches last night.

“He did not,” he said. “I was with him and afterward he was working on his briefing books and reading a lot of material, watching sports, but not watching the convention...He had other things to do.”

Watching sports ... sounds like his level of competence.

Was TOTUS sitting on the couch next to him?

[THX 1138]

Goofing off.

That's pretty much what he does every day.

When he's not destroying the country...

Okay, he was watching sports while people in New Orleans were scrambling for their lives................

[duckman]

He was out golfing while Isaac was dumping on LA/MS/AL

[Red Badger]

Reggie was..........

[Zathras]

He was here in Fort Collins, CO doing a speech to students.
The guy can’t even lie well.

That’s how thin-skinned he is - can’t bear to hear anything negative being said about him. He needn’t have avoided it - I didn’t hear any Obama bashing to speak of.

So that propaganda piece I read last night about Barry saying that he found the convention “entertaining” was a lie? Say it ain’t so. Barry doesn’t lie. Does he?

...and by "sports" we mean "cartoons".

But watching Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner do the 100 meter dash is kind of like "sports". The Roadrunner is probably doping, and Wiley is always using that illegal Acme gadgetry.

You beat me to it...exactly, anything discussed over at the convention would have been above his pay and mental grade.

[Armaggedon]

Like Obama realy cares what the people he said he was going to compromise are doing. Obama the Islamo-Marxist-Chicago Gangster is an arrogant ego maniac.

[PoloSec]

Yeah Right!

[jersey117]

No problem..... we won’t be watching him either

[Rennes Templar]

“I didn’t hear any Obama bashing to speak of.”

You must have missed Nikki Haley.

[5thGenTexan]

No need for him to. He doesn’t do anything but what the puppet masters tell him to. However, the people who control him were...

[FlingWingFlyer]

So, the president was “watching sports” while the poor people of Nawlins were preparing to die facing down the monster hurricane about to clobber them. What an ass!

“Jay, Natural curiosity must have compelled the President to watch the clip of the Artur Davis speech, since he presented the seconding speech for Obama in 2008. What was his reaction to the change of heart, expressed by Davis?”

The entire WH Press corps is authorized to submit my question as their own, any time!

[JaguarXKE]

LIAR!!!!

[opentalk]

He is too narcissistic. Probably was glued to the screen, recorded all of it with Jarret. Planning damage control.
