Carney Not Sure if WH Made Easter Statement

Politico reports:

What happens when the White House press secretary doesn’t know if President Obama has made a public statement about a major holiday?

That seemed to be the case on Monday, when press secretary Jay Carney said he didn’t know if Obama had signed any statements about Easter. (Obama, in fact, had not.)

“You know, the president went to church yesterday. It was well covered. I’m not sure if we put out a statement or not,” Carney said in his briefing when he was asked why nothing was put out by Obama.

But when a reporter asked why Carney himself didn’t know if a statement had been issued for a big holiday, as is customary, Carney shot back, “I’m glad you’re asking me key important questions, guys.”
