During a briefing in the White House press room Tuesday, administration spokesman Robert Gibbs held up his hand and revealed a shopping list scribbled onto his palm -- "eggs, milk and bread" -- along with a few other notes.
"I wrote down hope and change just in case I forgot that," Gibbs told groaning reporters.
It was a not-so-subtle jab at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was caught consulting notes on her palm during a question-and-answer session at the National Tea Party Convention Saturday night. Photos showed Palin had scrawled "energy," "tax cuts" and "lift American spirits" on her hand.
How childish...He and this administration just love to act like school children...This is just another example of how incompetent this administration is...No wonder obama's polls are tanking...Gibbs is a joke!

It's an embarrassment to our entire nation to watch this kind of behavior representing America's highest office.
Gibbs acting like 7-year girl exemplifies the behavior of his boss and this entire administration.

Ahhh.....Kathryn,
You miss the point. Sister Sarah is so incompetent that she can't remember the three most important points she wants to make. Why didn't she just use some notes, why did she try to hide them on her hand like a third grader trying to cheat. Because she WAS TRYING TO CHEAT. The woman is frighteningly incompetent and unqualified to hold any political office. Listen to her for 5 minutes (so your brain won't go numb), and you realize she is all zany criticism and no substance or idea.
But the really sad thing is that she is worshipped by the tea-partiers ( a small commercial for profit group) who showed how low they could really go by embracing the racist hate speech of Tancredo, and applauding at it at that.

OMG...Is that all you people can talk about is the teleprompter? It is sooo boring and sooo old. You act like he's the first president to use one. What about all the interviews he gives? Or all the press confrences he gives? Or the town halls he attends? I know it's hard to get use to a president that can read and take questions after Watching Mr Magoo in office for 8 years but it's nice not to be embarrassed of our president anymore.
I swear you people so ignorant and I feel like my IQ goes down everytime I read your posts.

All you jerks criticizing his spoof of your little "lady" are so humorless. She was criticizing Obama's hope...and saying he over-uses teleprompters...using notes on her palm about upcoming planted questions. So my question is, was she born brainless or did she learn that trick in GOP school?

Actually what Palin did by scribbling notes on her palm and behaving in other unscrupulous ways is a sure inication of a grown adult acting childish. I thank God in Heaven again, again, again..... that the repukes failed in getting McCain and Palin elected because if that were to happen, I imagine the gates of hell would have prevailed.
