WH called out for skipping female reporter by Joel Gehrke Commentary Staff Writer campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tried to change the order in which reporters could question him today, but the press corps whacked him for passing over a scheduled question from a female journalist. The briefing halted momentarily when someone suggested that Carney planned to "call on the boys [first]" before taking a question from CBS's Norah O'Donnell, whose turn it was to question Carney. The press corps consensus seemed to be that Carney is free to break with the standard order of taking questions from reporters, but he should do so from the outset. "Fair enough," Carney said before returning to O'Donnell, who asked if President Obama would accept House Speaker John Boehner's demand that any debt ceiling increase be matched by equivalent cuts in spending. Effectively, Carney said he wouldn't. "The president does not believe that the full faith and credit of the united states . . . should be held hostage to a political ideology," Carney said.

Jeremiah Wright: I “Made It Comfortable” For Obama to Accept Christianity Without Having to Renounce Islam by Jim Hoft Barack Obama takes his shoes off at a visit to a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. (White House) In a shocking interview yesterday on the Sean Hannity Radio Show, author Ed Klein said Barack Obama’s former pastor helped Obama accept Christianity without having to renounce Islam. The Daily Caller reported: Klein also said Wright told him he “made it comfortable” for Obama to accept Christianity without having renounce his “Islamic background,” which Klein said he has on tape. Klein spoke more on this in a separate interview with NewsMax: Klein says Obama originally sought out Wright to discuss community activism. “Quickly the conversations turned from picking up garbage on the street and getting streetlights put up on street corners to political matters and religious matters,” Klein says. “And the Rev. Wright turned into really a substitute father figure, who guided Obama in the two major areas of his life.” The first area was Obama’s identity — just who was he? “Obama was steeped in Islam but knew nothing about Christianity,” Klein says. Klein asked Wright if he converted Obama from being a Muslim into a Christian. “He said, I don’t know about that. but I can tell you that I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam,” Klein says. The second area was Obama’s political philosophy. Wright introduced Obama to Black Liberation theology.
