From Press Secretary Jay Carney's press conference today:
Q Just one. Just one. Just one. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said — and this is a quote — “One of the reasons the President has moved so far to the right is there is no primary opposition to him.” And my question: Why is the President certain that Hillary won’t run against him? (Laughter.)
MR. CARNEY: You win the award for originality today.
Q Thank you very much.
MR. CARNEY: The President is focused not on any election — he’s focused right now on doing his job to grow the economy, create jobs, ensure that Americans who are in the path of this hurricane are taken care of. That’s what he’s focused on.
Q I understand. You’re running away from this question. I mean, can you guarantee that — are you sure that –
MR. CARNEY: You’d have to ask –
Q — Hillary is not going to run?
MR. CARNEY: You’d have to ask her. We’re fairly confident –
Q That she won’t?
MR. CARNEY: — that we need to focus on the task at hand.
Q All right, thank you.
It won't come to anything but we Clintonistas can enjoy it, can't we? I'm sure Bill 'n' Hill are lapping it up.
