White House Press Secretary Jay Carney Caught Using Double Standard


Apparently, democrats bills that pass Congress with fewer votes that Republican bills have a strong majority. GOP bills; not so much.

Via Washington Examiner:
Pressed about President Obama’s claim that “a strong majority” passed Obamacare, his spokesman retreated.
“A majority passed [the health care law], Ed,” said visibly-frustrated White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. Fox News’ Ed Henry was grilling Carney after the press secretary said “no,” the Ryan budget — which passed the House with nine more votes than Obamacare received — did not have “a strong majority” of support.
The Ryan budget passed this year by a 228-191 margin. Obamacare passed the House by a 219-212 margin.

FOX News Exposes Nancy Pelosi's Ethical Double Standard (video)

FOX News continues to do the job ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN won't. This time they point out the hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi's changing position on ethics in the wake of House Ways and Means committee chairman Charles Rangel's admonishment. In 2004, Pelosi called for House Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay to step aside after he was admonished.

Pelosi's Ethical Double Standard?

Obama Forgives Reid for Racial Remark, but Was Less Forgiving of Republicans.


President Obama quickly forgave Harry Reid for his “Negro dialect” remark.
”I accepted Harry’s apology without question.”

When Don Imus apologized for making the famous "nappy-headed hos" remark, Obama called for Imus to be fired.
"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Senator Obama was also very harsh on Trent Lott's remarks praising Senator Strom Thurmond. Lott said that the United States would have avoided "all these problems" if then-segregationist Strom Thurmond had been elected president in 1948. In 2002, Senator Obama called on the Republican Party to "drive out" Trent Lott:
"The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party."

When it comes to racial statements, President Obama seems to have a double-standard.
