At yesterdays's White House press briefing, the first question was from a reporter asking if President Obama's "redecorating" metaphor applied to the White House. Robert Gibbs handled the question well:
It was a nice attempt at a "Gotcha!" These days, there's no amount of money low enough to sound good in that situation. However, Gibbs countered well with the children.
Now, if the President starts installing, like, a jacuzzi in every room, that might be a different story. Unless, of course, he also puts one in the briefing room. That's change we can believe in.
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
