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.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) May 10, 2013
The IRS is an “independent organization,” but apparently not independent enough to be free from Bush’s iron grip.
Ridiculous.

Carney just blamed Bush in reference to IRS "previous administration"

I'm sorry what did He just say about the "previous Administration"?

The IRS targeting conservatives is Bush's fault! #drink

That Bush. Investigating Tea Party groups while pretending to paint dogs. Will his perfidy never end?

Bush Derangement Syndrome’s so nice, Jay came down with it twice!
Carney: No, we won't release those emails to the public. Mentions Bush.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) May 10, 2013
And Carney just blamed Bush for the second time in this presser. Amazing. #benghazi

Blaming Bush. It never gets old for these people does it?

STOP BLAMING BUSH.

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

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 McSunnyface (@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?

Carney just invoked Romney. I guess Bush wasn't available.
