The act of stepping in and saying something to try to save your friend in the midst of his or her telling a lie or exaggeration, when in fact you know it's probably wrong and you are supposed to be an unbiased party. Based on TV reporter Candy Crowley's actions in one of the debates of the 2012 presidential election.
Did you see that guy lie/exaggerate to everyone about what really went down? No one was buying it, but then some other guy swooped in and pulled a Candy Crowley, and everyone was like, wow! You know, like when Candy did it for Obama over Benghazi talking points.

A nickname for the White House under the Obama administration in late 2013, when during the partial government shutdown, many questionable decisions were made about what to keep up open versus what to shut down or bar from the general public. The decisions appeared to be made to make the American people "feel the pain" of the shutdown who would have otherwise not noticed; therefore, said to be done by the Obama administration out of spite and in efforts to drum up anger. The Obama administration apparently decided to close national parks, barricade ("Barrycade") open-air memorials, put cones along roadways that are otherwise usually open, restrict fishermen from the waters, evict residents out of their privately-owned homes on federal land, shut down the Amber Alert website, etc. while keeping other non-essential programs and services open, such as the golf course where Obama and members of the administration play golf.
"Who wants to visit the WWII Memorial this weekend?"
"We can't, the Spite House has it blocked with a Barrycade."

The act of being Obedient (emphasis on the O) to Barack Obama and his policies at all costs. The term may be used to describe those in the Obama presidential administration including Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, Jay Carney, etc. as well as many citizens of the political far-left. Also can be used to describe Democratic paid shills during the 2008-2016 time frame, Obamabots/Obots, Obama swooners, and anyone who is completely loyal to Obama, defends him at all costs, and denies any wrongdoing by Obama or the administration. May resort to calling others racists, obstructionists, extremists, etc. if they disagree with any decisions or policies of the Obama administration.
"Why was Jay totally denying the accusations and calling everything phony? The evidence is too damning and even he'll be hurt by it, has he lost his mind?"
"Yes, it's nonsensical. He is just being O-bedient."
"Yes, it's nonsensical. He is just being O-bedient."

The act of consistently covering for your boss, friend, or other person, by dodging questions, making excuses, changing the topic, or even exaggerating or lying. The slang term originates from the actions and behaviors of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for the Obama administration when asked questions on certain topics by reporters.
Person 1: What's the latest on that debacle? What did Mike say?
Person 2: I don't know, Mike pulled a Jay Carney and said it happened a long time ago, as if a few months was a long time ago and now it somehow doesn't matter.

Port Arthur, TX. Known as "the armpit of Texas" due to being a rather down-trodden, highly polluted, industrial and depressed town. Port Arthur is in far east Texas, not very far from the Louisiana border.
