Jay Carney continued to dodge questions about the various problems plaguing Obamacare’s online exchanges today, by pleading ignorance and repeatedly pointing reporters’ questions to the Department of Health and Human Services. At the end of Tuesday’s daily briefing, after offering one last referral to HHS, Carney walked out of the room as frustrated reporters continued to ask him questions.
Carney explained that, due to his inexperience with website construction, he wouldn’t be able to comment on some of the technical and specific elements of the websites’ development. “I’m not a computer expert, I don’t build websites,” he said.
When asked whether the White House would cooperate with congressional oversight, Carney said the administration would do so only if it was “legitimate.”
“I’m just saying that everybody here that wasn’t born yesterday has seen questionable congressional oversight in the past,” he said; earlier today, Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa announced that he would be leading the investigation into the websites.

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 seen 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.

Point taken, Mr. Carney.
What you DO seem to be an "expert" in is lying and obfuscation!

Yes, indeed. He's really, really good at saying things that aren't even close to the truth......
