President Obama announced that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney would resign in mid-June, making a surprise announcement at the White House press briefing on Friday.
"Jay has become one of my closest friends and is a great press secretary and a great advisor," Obama said. "He's got good judgment. He has a good temperament , and he's got agood heart , and I'm going to miss him a lot."
Carney thanked Obama for allowing him the chance to serve at the White House.
“In mid-life you don’t often make a whole new set of friends ,” Carney said, who just turned 50. “Every day with you in here has been a privilege.”
Obama said that Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest would take Carney’s place at the White House.
“My request is be nice to Jay on his farewell tour , and be nice to Josh during his initiation, which I’m sure will last two days, or perhaps two questions,” Obama said to reporters.
