Earnest said the president didn’t want to be disruptive to the event:

Everybody knows the Obama administration always bends over backwards to not make things about them!
@ByronYork And he's *also* insisted the decision of who should go was not up to Obama or something. It's unbelievable.

I did not think it could get any worse with Jay Carney but Josh Earnest is proving me wrong.
