This afternoon brought the resignation of White House spokesman Jay Carney. He will be replaced by his deputy Josh Earnest. I can't say that I am surprised. It must have taken an amazing psychological toll to have to go out in front of the world each day and defend the policies (or lack of policies) of president Obama and his crew of misfits.. er.. excuse me.. his staff. Imagine having to tell the world that Obama only found out that there was a problem at the VA by watching press reports on TV. Then imagine having to repeat this when reference is made to a speech Obama gave in 2008 denouncing the long waiting times at the VA and promising to correct them. Then imagine having to repeat the same line a third time when asked about a warning that then president elect Obama was given about the problem in December of 2008. In many respects, Carney's role was much like that of man attempting to hypnotize a group of individuals into distrusting reality and instead believing in a mass delusion. I am surprised that Carney lasted as long as he did.
