The Art of Not Answering

I'm sure I'm biased, but it seems that Democrats are better at this than Republicans. I'm confident that it's the most important asset of a Press Secretary, though.

Here's Jay Carney deftly dodging. 

Really read his response, though. Major Garret points out that the US has acted (however weakly), yet Russia continues moving forward on Ukraine.

Carney has two responses: "The US can't force action simply by saying stop, and we will continue along the same path we are on." The first is a typical Obama tactic--the straw man argument. The second is devoid of information.
