Well, nearly three hours after he was supposed to start, Jay Carney finally got around to giving his daily press briefing. And more than four years after President Obama took office, Carney is blaming George W. Bush for Obama-era problems.
When asked about the IRS’ admission that it targeted conservative groups before the 2012 election, Carney wasted no time in linking the IRS official in charge to the Bush administration:
Carney: The IRS isn’t the WH….but the guy who was running it at the time was appointed by Bush.

The IRS is an “independent organization,” but apparently not independent enough to be free from Bush’s iron grip.
Ridiculous.
Amazing. RT @dinafraioli: HE JUST BLAMED BUSH FOR THIS IRS STUFF! HE JUST BLAMED BUSH!!!

Carney just blamed Bush in reference to IRS “previous administration”

Man! That Bush … still pulling the strings after all these years!

— Heather (@hmfearny) May 10, 2013
Dubya is clearly the greatest living president. I mean, how many WH alums can affect policy *five years out*?!
— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) May 10, 2013
But why stop at blaming former presidents? Why not throw rocks at presidential candidates, too?
HE JUST BLAMED ROMNEY!
— Dina Fraioli (@DinaFraioli) May 10, 2013
Oh yes he did.
Oh my God. Carney is now attacking Romney for the press release from months ago. This is a freaking disaster.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) May 10, 2013
He asserted that Mitt Romney’s post-Benghazi press release kicked off an “ongoing effort” to “try to take political advantage out of these deaths.”
Romney?? WTF?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) May 10, 2013
Romney hit.
— Cuffé (@CuffyMeh) May 10, 2013
And Jay Carney just threw in Mitt Romney #benghazi
