Earnest: I Can’t Speak for ‘Candidate Obama’s’ Comments Criticizing George W. Bush

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
KNOLLER: "President Bush was criticized by candidate Obama for not being on the ground quicker in new Orleans when he was on the ground within five days, faster than President Obama’s response."
EARNEST: "I can’t speak to the comments that then candidate Obama may have made in 2008 but what President Obama has demonstrated as president of the United States is a commitment to focusing on results and focusing on the response. It has been his priority. I recognize there are some who are going to criticize the optics of the president making that the priority. The president is willing to assume that criticism if the response is up to par. It happens because the are patriotic Americans serving at FEMA and working along the clock."
