Obama Silent for 15 days about the Fires in Colorado, then ONLY Responds when WH Press Sec. Jay Carney is asked about it
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked a question today on why President Obama has not further communicated with Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper over the raging wildfires in his state. The President’s last correspondence with the Governor was June 12th, 15 days ago.
Colorado is midway through its worst wildfire season in a decade with as many as 32,000 residents having been evacuated since the fires started. Nearly two dozen homes have been demolished near Rocky Mountain National Park and Reuters cites up to 15000 acres of land as being consumed.
After White House Press Secretary Jay Carney admitted today that President Obama hadn’t spoke to the Colorado Gov. in over 2 weeks while wildfires ravaged the state, the White House rushed out the following press release stating that Obama had JUST spoken with Gov. Hickenlooper.

Wild Thing’s comment..…….
Finally, and what a jerk to wait this long.
Can you imagine the outrage by the MSM if Bush had waited even a week?
Bob, yes there sure is a double standard.
