White House Press Secretary Jay Carney maintained the Obama administration is committed to passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act as reporters pummeled him Thursday with sharp questions on the administration's decision not to issue an executive order prohibiting anti-LGBT bias in the workplace.

The questioning, which was initiated by NBC News' Kristen Welker, began with an inquiry on why Obama won't issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT people

Carney said a political calculation was "absolutely not" involved in the administration's decision not to issue the executive order.

That is just old stinky cheese.
