Fallout Keeps Falling From Obama's Choice to Appear at the NFL Divisional Playoffs Instead of the Largest Rally in French History

1. The Press Secretary, who is apparently paid by the American taxpayer to lie to them outrageously every single day, claims he doesn't know if Obama was even invited to that Paris March or not.

I wonder, if we paid him more could he find out answers to obvious questions in advance? The guy is literally two doors down from everyone who would have an answer to this. Was it too taxing him for him to walk ten feet and knock on a door?

2. If you had douchechills watching Josh Earnest dissemble vaguely around the outer perimeters of a non-answer, enjoy Marie Larf doing so even more incompetently.

3. The White House is now willing to give an inch here, in order to get the public to move on off this story:

4. Jake Tapper grilled Jay Carney on this. Carney, obviously, got the word from the White House that they were in big trouble on this and he was instructed to revert to his old form in tendering stupid lies to the public to bail out Obama.

Tapper has a good line, accusing the White House of sending higher ranking representation to the nighttime soap opera "The Good Wife" (Valerie Jarret made a cameo) than to the Paris March.

Carney then goes on one of those filibusters where he claims to know what the "American people really care about," which is completely irrelevant to the question posed -- even if it were true that the American people cared about entirely different things, this would be no answer to Jake Tapper's question as to whether the Administration erred in blowing off the march.

Carney finishes by offering Obama's "And the Middle Class" mumblings, in which he proclaims the economy is now better than it's ever been under Obama's incompetent socialist rule. To which Jake Tapper says, dryly, "yes, the shift to the economy, we know it well."

5. Very minor media figure John J. Harwood, chiefly distinguished by his willingness to publicly give the president rimjob pleasures, embarrassed himself, as usual.

One point I'd like to make: If you remember back to the controversy over Obama's absolute refusal to visit the Texas border when hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant children were streaming across it -- and remember, this was in the #BearIsLoose hashtag campaign when Obama was going out and sipping beer with "ordinary Americans" -- the excuse made was that Obama didn't want to complicate the border situation with all of his security requirements and didn't want to make the story "about him."

Yes, Obama said that.

He now offers the exact same excuses.
