Carney: President Was Not Aware

- that Friday was Hawain shirt day.

Please feel free to finish Carney's sentence.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Friday that President Obama did not know that his campaign considered replacing Vice President Joe Biden with Hillary Clinton for the 2012 ticket.

"I'm not aware that he was aware of it," Carney said at a press briefing about Obama's knowledge of the potential switch. "The idea was never brought to him."

According to a forthcoming book, Obama's campaign considered replacing Biden wilth Hillary Clinton for the 2012 election. Members of Obama's team have denied that they considered the switch.

based on insider gossip? Sounds like someone is trying to gin up controversy or push Hillary. The last election is so over.
