Carney: Asking about Sebelius fundraising for ObamaCare a lot like being a birther, or something

You know, a White House that just got exposed for spying on journalists probably should be doing some bridge-rebuilding, especially for an administration who needs a friendly media as much as this one does. What’s the worst possible way to get back in the media’s good graces? Accusing them of being conspiracy nuts for asking about Kathleen Sebelius’ fundraising for ObamaCare, starting with CBS’ Major Garrett, who just got done fronting the Benghazi e-mail defense demolished by Glenn Kessler today.

Thanks bunches, Major:

Struggling with a reporter about which Republican concerns are and are not legitimate, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that if reporters are going to ask about every issue, they should include President Obama’s birth certificate. …

Garrett followed up and asked if questions related to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’s fundraising for the Affordable Care Act were also legitimate. Carney grew irritated and responded by referencing conspiracy theories about the president’s birthplace.

“You know, we could go down the list of questions — we could say, what about the president’s birth certificate? Were that — was that legitimate?” Carney responded.

I guess the media is discovering how the White House treats Republicans who disagree with them. Welcome to the party, pal!(continued)

Well, the media created Obama monster, now they learn to love (live with) it.

And don’t worry, there will be a new crop of media type to fill in the positions to suck up to Obama......

New graduates from journalist schools or fine art degrees need jobs, you know.

What, they didn't think they could make it through the “grueling” curriculum in education or ethnic studies?

For once I agree with Jay carney.

Lets ask about that Birth Certificate.

We all know it’s counterfeit.

Lets Roll.

Is there any law that anyone from the WH has to meet with the press? I could see 0bama group just shutting down on “press briefings” and releasing selected written statements only, only when they choose to do so.

How stupid do you have to be to bring up another scandal that brings Obama into question for a huge portion of Americans during the midst of 3 or 4 other breaking scandals....all it does is get new people who gave Obama the benefit of the doubt to question the birth certificate. There is an awful lot of smoke out there right now for people to start paying attention to who did not care before, so maybe old smoke needs a better look and might not be a joke after all in new minds.

Hey Carney bring make fun of Fast and Furious next....that might help cover for this administration.
