Obama, new spokesman share 'no drama' approach
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama's new spokesman may be just the right guy for the president's approach to governing: Obama doesn't like drama and Jay Carney doesn't seem to invite it.
A month into his tenure as Obama's press secretary, Carney doesn't appear to be looking for fight each time he enters the daily press briefing. Unlike his feisty predecessor, Robert Gibbs, Carney hasn't spent his career in partisan politics — his main experience is as a reporter — and his style is more measured.

"He is not part of the journalistic culture of hyping conflicts," said Walter Isaacson, the former editor of Time magazine, where Carney worked for two decades. "I think he will be disdainful of those who try to hype conflict unfairly because he spent so much of his career being intellectually honest."
