Jay Carney: George Kaiser Visited White House for Charity


Valerie Jarrett
"Director of White House Charities"


Yep. That's what White House spokesman Jay Carney told the White House press corps today. Believe it or not, ABC has this story below. (Maybe they believe Carney.)

So let's see if I got this straight. George Kaiser, as we know, was a bundler and contributor for the Obama 2008 campaign. He is also a major investor in Solyndra, the solar panel company that got $535 million from the government and is now bankrupt. Are ya with me so far?


"Uhhh.....yeaaaah."


In addition, we learn that Kaiser visited the White House 4 times in the days leading up to the loan approval and some dozen times afterward. He met with Valerie Jarret and her staff as well as others.

And it was all about charity.

Here is the important point to be asked by the media (if they care to): I am not prepared to call Carney a liar. According to his job description, if his bosses tell him to go out there and tell the press corps that the world is a big triangle, then his job is to state exactly that. The question someone needs to ask Jay is who gave him that bunk about Kaiser's visits having to do with charity?

  1. I want Carney's job... even more than I wanted to be John Kerry's speech writer. These questions have such simple answers. Why do they idiots around the president think they have to jump like they were hit with a cattle prod every time Fox News says something? I want Carney's job...

  2. You couldn't take the derision. Besides, Fox News isn't going to let you meander about Alexandert the Great.

  3. If I had Carney's job, they wouldn't have much choice. And if I can handle Miggie and Squid, which is child's play, I can handle O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et. al. They only get away with being big bad boogie men because their targets lack the good sense and initiative to laugh in their faces.
