White House mocks Romney's narrow Michigan victory

White House press secretary Jay Carney said that President Barack Obama's address to the United Auto Workers was not meant as a political foil to the Michigan primary — noting that the election was never expected to be competitive and taking a potshot at Mitt Romney's narrow win at the same time.

"The UAW set its conference a long time ago," Carney said. "It was probably scheduled at a time before any of you would have predicted that the Michigan primary would be a significant event."

"That was supposed to be a non-event primary because one of the contestants was born there and his father was governor," Carney said.
