White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked Monday if the White House gave any consideration to canceling the president's speech on the economy, Carney answered with a simple 'no':
REPORTER: Very quickly -- and I think Ed alluded to this, but I just want to be clear -- was there any consideration by the White House, given that there was an active manhunt, like, four miles away, to cancel today's economic remarks?
MR. CARNEY: No.
