McClellan scores one "I told you so!"
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has been getting abused by the partisan denizens of the James Brady Briefing Room over the past few weeks about the CIA leak probe. But on Friday, the presidential spokesman had a laugh on the reporters.
From the transcript:
Q Great, okay. So, moving on from that, since you want to talk about the economy -- in the context of the discussion we've been having here this morning, one gets the sense that you think that there's an "I told you so" coming here for the administration, because the press, in the past four months, has been writing the President off as a lame duck. Is that what you're doing? And, if so, why?
MR. McCLELLAN: No, I wouldn't say that. But I remember being in this room, I remember all the coverage at the time, just two months ago, and, frankly, there hasn't been a whole lot of focus in the media this week on the significant accomplishments that are being achieved for the American people. This is important for the American people to know that this Congress has come together and gotten things done. That's what the President vowed to do in his second term. He did it in his first term, and he's doing it in his second term.
There are a lot of --
Q So, if I may -- pardon the interruption -- are you suggesting then that the absence of coverage to your standard is because the media is deliberately trying to suppress that information on behalf of the administration?
MR. McCLELLAN: All I know is that there was a lot of coverage saying, two months ago, that the President wasn't going to get anything done on the domestic agenda, that he was maybe entering lame duck status, and the facts say otherwise. We are getting things done for the American people, and the ones who are benefiting are the American people. Thank you.
I don't know who the reporter was, but he (or she) really nailed it with the suggestion that the media was suppressing information. It happens all the time. When's the last time there was a story about how good the economy was? It's strong and getting stronger, but no one would ever know that from the Old Media.
