White House press secretary Jay Carney mocked Fox News’ Ed Henry at Thursday’s press briefing for complaining about the lack of access to President Obama by remarking that the looming sequester is “not as important as, you know, who he’s playing golf with.”
Henry — who as White House Correspondents Association president had complained about the press’s lack of access to Obama during his golfing vacation — kicked off the exchange by asking Carney why TV cameras and the press pool wasn’t allowed into Treasury Secretary Jack Lew’s swearing-in ceremony.
“Well, it was a private ceremony with members of his family, including grandchildren,” Carney replied. As you know, now-Secretary Lew has served President Obama in four positions, this is his fourth. And he and the president have become close through their service together and the president wanted to have this ceremony for Secretary Lew in the Oval Office because of that relationship.”
Henry then pointed out that the swearing-in for the last Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, had been open to the press.
