Jay Carney is stepping down as White House Press Secretary over ´strain´ on his family life, he announced today. 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. [Snip] ´To be honest, the move was more about how to deflect attention away from Eric Shinseki´s resignation, and less about giving Jay a thoughtful send-off,´ the White House official said. And a in insider close to Carney confirmed

This was not as sudden as some believe. This has been in the works for some time.

I don’t see why Shinsecki’s resignation would have been any big deal that needed to be deflected. Everyone saw it coming —

What a family life it must be when both husband and wife lie for a living.

The job description of White House Press Secretary is becoming blurred with borderline obstruction of justice.

Jay Carney is not up to the job so look for a ex Clinton Admin alum with connections to Lanny Davis get the job

Sure, easy to critique from the sidelines. You don't know what it's like to compete in that kind of upliarsmanship. The telling of tall tales is an art, I tell you.

He was just tired of being forced to be a pathetic, obvious liar.

None detected cap’n. Only a pathological liar could do that job for that amount of time and show no conscience.

Jay certainly earned his BS diploma. The bull did much straining for Carney.

Right. No deflection needed here but rather consolidation to get 2 planned resignations out of way together on a friday. That’s it.

Carney had better watch his back. He’s already caught in the spider’s web. If he decides to turn on Obama and spill the beans on what he has seen and heard in the White House, he will suffer the consequences.

I am shocked that Obama has not had more Press Secretaries considering he makes them lie so much. He has only had two. Bush and Clinton both had 5.
