White House Press Secretary Jay Carney played movie critic for a moment when he suggested that the White House press corps watch a campaign movie about Obama's first term "many times," despite directing all other questions about the movie to the campaign.

"I thought it was superb," Carney told reporters today during the press gaggle.  "I’ll probably watch it many times.  I hope you will, too."

Carney deflected a question about why the Obama campaign thought it necessary to make the movie. "Questions about campaign strategy should be addressed to the campaign," he said.
