Here’s what you need to know from Tuesday’s White House briefing with press secretary Jay Carney:

• Carney deflected a question on whether the White House is angry over the bonuses given to top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “The White House does not have a role for assigning pay in this independent agency,” he said.
• Carney had no “specific agenda” to detail when asked about President Obama’s meeting today with House Democratic leaders. He mentioned jobs and ways in which the “House can be compelled” to take action.
• On executive orders and jobs, Carney said of Obama’s strategy, “I can assure you he would like nothing more than to be deprived of the opportunity to run against a do-nothing Congress.”
