Aw, come on. Cut Jay some slack. He's trying to beat Baghdad Bob's record for silliness. Plus where would we get our daily laugh if not for good ol' Jay?

And really, making that moron obama look good really does have to be the hardest job on earth.

Regardless of the administration, I wouldn't want to be WH Press Secretary. No way, no how.

You do understand that the president doesn't make decisions to close bases.
That would be congress.

Don't you all want to cut government spending?
How do you think that's going to be accomplished?

Except the base closure commission, which is bipartisan, controls which bases get closed based upon actual military need. The President and the White House have nothing to do with it.

Why are you Republicans always so dishonest?

Congress has convened base closure commissions five times in recent years, in 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995 and 2005.

Military leaders are eager to save money by shuttering some underused bases. But the move is extremely unpopular on Capitol Hill, where many lawmakers fear the process would jeopardize government jobs in their districts.
