Looks like the White House is no longer interested in answering the Press's questions about their signature program.

But then, they don't have to. As Obama pointed out, "We won." And he doesn't have to run for re-election any more.

Americans for Tax Reform : Carney Ducks Obamacare Questions, Walks Out of Press Briefing

Carney Ducks Obamacare Questions, Walks Out of Press Briefing

Spokesman for “Most transparent administration in history” can’t answer basic Obamacare questions
White House spokesman Jay Carney today abruptly walked out of the briefing room after struggling to answer questions related to Obamacare. As he walks out, frustrated reporters can be heard asking questions, including:

“Have White House officials watched anyone without insurance go through the website, trying to help the situation?”

“Couldn’t we have a [HHS] rep just come to the press briefing?”

Since the Oct. 1 launch of HealthCare.Gov, Carney has repeatedly ducked uncomfortable questions by referring reporters to HHS, where they are met with silence.

If Carney were able to feel shame, he'd probably quit his job rather than go through the repeated indignity of facing the people demanding information about the failure of Obamacare.

But he understands the necessity of absorbing and deflecting the anger of the voting public when the facts about his administration's agenda come to light. Liberals cannot exist without someone to face the voters they have defrauded, and mollify them enough to keep taking it the next time, and the next.

Plus, if he were able to feel shame, he wouldn't be a Democrat in the first place.

Eventually they'll stop having press conferences.

Obamacare is the gift that will keep on giving to Republicans.

It's O's Katrina.

It's O's Stalingrad.

After Stalingrad, Hitler stopped appearing in public.

Cue O.

Thanks for your opinion, all it accomplished was bump your thread to the top of the page 29 minutes after not getting any replies to your op, which in my humble opinion is what you intended in the first place.

At least it isn't Bush's fault:
