Welp, looks like Jay Carney’s new beard has failed to confer either maturity or wisdom upon him. When asked today about Obamacare enrollment numbers, Carney launched right into worm mode:
Carney: "CMS plans to have demographic data ASAP;" cites several states with "a good mix" of enrollees
— Jared Rizzi (@JaredRizzi) January 6, 2014
“ASAP.” Right.
Carney when asked how many 18-35 year olds are signing up for Obamacare: "Demographic data is not available"
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 6, 2014
Jay Carney reiterates CMS claim that demographic data isn't available for Obamacare signups.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 6, 2014
3 months into enrollment, Carney says WH/CMS doesn't have reliable demographic data on enrollees.
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) January 6, 2014
Carney still doesn't have data on Obamcare enrollment. He says they have always put forth data quickly , good or bad, the last few months.
— Laura McGinnis (@TxsleuthUSA) January 6, 2014
Jay Carney says they've done a great job of releasing good and bad Obamacare data over the past few months as they have it. Lie of the year?
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 6, 2014
2014’s only just begun, but that’s certainly a good candidate.

Carney says aggregate # of enrollees doesn't matter as much of demographic mix. Too bad they won't release demographic numbers.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 6, 2014
There’s more:
Jonathan Karl: "Why did Obama sign up for a bronze plan that he won't use?" Carney: "Because he said he would"
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 6, 2014
Jay Carney on estimate of 7mln Obamacare enrollees: "We're not backing away from a number that we didn't put out."
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 6, 2014
Uh, yes you are, Jay.
WOW, Carney now saying the 7 million Obamacare enrollees goal wasn't "the White House goal"
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 6, 2014
Oh really?
FLASHBACK: Kathleen Sebelius says goal of administration is to sign up 7 million ppl for Obamacare by March 1 http://t.co/Thx0KIwQ5R
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 6, 2014
It's true that CBO originated the 7 million enrollment projection. However, administration embraced it.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 6, 2014
What an absolute joke.

Complete bullshit. RT @BrianHughesDC "Demographic data isn't available yet," WH's Carney says of ACA enrollments.
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 6, 2014
Will be available right after 2014 elections “@BrianHughesDC: "Demographic data isn't available yet," WH's Carney says of ACA enrollments.”
— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) January 6, 2014
Maybe.
White House hates "magic number." Likes magic policy.

Meanwhile:
@jpodhoretz No word on the Administration's stance on unicorns.
