Obama Press Secretary Gibbs Off to Rough Start

HE'S AN INEPT JERK JUST LIKE OBAMA THE SOCIALIST!

America under seige

Give the man a break, he only says what he is told to.

Saw/listened to part of it, in the background. Parts caught my attention ... and NOT the substantive parts ... Gibbs' tone and irritability came through quite strongly. Someone asked a question; he did not even bother to answer it. Went on to the next question. Snippy, short, aggravated. Apparently, he did not get the questions that he wanted, and reporters were following up on others' questions (for once).

You were very kind to him in your blog, but it seems to me that the Obama Team got very used to people (except for the extreme 20%) just accepting what they said and (except for the usual suspects - Faux News) for the media just to roll over and pretty much just report what they wanted them to.

Being "nice" and collegial is great ... you can have drinks together after a long day. But, I think that the Obama Team feels that if they are "nice", have drop-in visits, and watch TV together in the White House, then people will just naturally be taken in and agree/vote their way. Last night, a long-time ardent supporter of Obama's, Roland I-Forget-His-Last-Name, on CNN got a bit outraged over the fact, that after a Super Bowl party, visits to the Hill, and phone calls, there still were people who were not going to vote for the Stimulus Package.

It all seems a bit naive to me.

Where is their Communications Director?? Who is explaining the Stimulus Bill, explaining the spending, except for Obama? Where are the surrogates and others on the Hill? And, where is their "focused" message? Seems that (unfortunately) Republicans are carrying the day, spewing bad information and their own peculiar point-of-view. As a result, Gibbs was not at his best today.

You mean, ehhhh, he had, ehhhhh, trouble, ehhhhhh, answering questions, ehhhhhh, about the, ehhhhhh, stuff he's paid, ehhhhh, to be, ehhhhhhh, able to answer ehhhhhh?

If we had a dollar for everytime he says ehhhhh we'd have enough to pay off all the Democrats unpaid taxes! Well, maybe not enough for that.

Don't you just love how when he doesn't like a question, like the one about the polls showing a majority of Americans either want the stimulus majorly changed or scrapped altogether, he just says next and moves to the next reporter? But that's understandable. Why would the White House care about what the majority of Americans want? It's what OBAMA wants that matters. How dare we have an opinion about the future of our country?

Mr. Gibbs needs an attitude adjustment, or it is going to be a LLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG four years!!!

Gibbs is in over his head

On Thursday, Democrats will head to the Kingsmill Resort and Spa in historic Williamsburg, Va., for the three-day planning powwow. The resort boasts multiple championship golf courses, a full-service spa and six restaurants.
It would have been really good PR to stay home and bring a box lunch,”
Individual lawmakers pay for most of the expenses related to retreat lodging through their campaign committees, but the Democratic Caucus subsidizes some of the costs for what aides consider “official business” — to the tune of nearly $100,000 each year, according to a Democratic aide involved in retreat planning.

Quit your bitching and have a drink.

Gibbs is just horrible to signal out Santelli on Feb 20, 09; and rant about how unfair a journalist can be.
Quit bitching Gibbs, you knew the job was selling socialism to the American public and now everyone knows it.
