White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs Bashes 'Liberal Naysayers' who Fault Obama

Obama has a very difficult job. However he has not kept all of his campaign promises. Guantanamo Bay is still open. In general Obama has tried way to hard to make friends with Republicans. They will never accept you. Some of them are racists. Others will just attack him because he is the democratic president and they are hoping to destroy peoples confidence in him in order to take back the presidency and perhaps more importantly the house and senate. So it really doesn't matter what Obama does. In general I would say the excitement the courage and idealism Obama displayed in his campaign is missing. Frankly he is becoming boring. Its a good thing we have a healthcare bill so progress is being made. A lot of people feel that they have been lied to though on this Afghanistan war. Not literally maybe more in an emotional sense. He portrayed himself as a principled objector to the war in Iraq who would be cautious but ultimately a peace candidate. Now there are less troops in Iraq, but there are more troops on foreign soil than under Bush. To the average American sick of these wars it doesn't seem like a real difference. We still have more than a hundred thousand troops on foreign soil getting killed and injured and there's still a sense that we are in some sort of crusade against Islam that will only help to encourage more terrorism as well as accumulate more and more blood of innocents on our hands. Sure most of the civilian deaths are accidental but thats a poor excuse. The casualties for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are relatively low to be blunt, but what in the hell are they for? Can Obama explain that? Its not a fight for democracy because we are propping up a corrupt president who stole the election and whos brother is one of Afghanistan's biggest drug dealers. While our soldiers die fighting against the drug cartels. This is really a stab in the heart to all those that truly support our troops. He recieved the Nobel Peace Prize and used the speech to essentially call the philosophy of earlier recipients like Dr King and Gandhi obsolete. I suppose Dr King would be proud America had a black president but I don't think he would be proud of much of what Obama is doing. The bailout, this is obviously a pet issue of the Tea Party and Republicans, but that is a lie. Bush started the bailouts Obama jsut finished. Though I have never been one to think of things in a rigid left wing right wing way being Being anti handouts to corrupt bankers is certainly something a lot of left wing people are. Republicans are almost stronger now than when Bush was president and Republicans and the angry grumpy white folks of the Tea Party are anti Obama for all the wrong reasons, Obama is certainly some change I still consider myself to be a sopporter but an increasingly skeptical one. Im tired of all this talk of bipartisanship, the local paper where I live, The Seattle Times, keeps talking about how its good when Democrats or Republicans cross party lines or whatever. I tend to disagree. We would not admire a soccer player who kicked the ball into his own teams goal because he wasn't "partisan" We don't have to hate just agree to disagree, being from one party but acting like the other is a ripoff to the people that elected you. It would serve Obama well if he appealed more to the so called left wing base before the 2012 election. Although many of Obamas "left wing" supporters can't really be described as being left wing or any wing because many of them are new to being politically involved. Some were turning 18 and 19 and voting for a president for the first time others were in there mid twenties or middle aged or even elderly and had not bothered to be politically involved before being swept up in the hope and the excitement of the Obama campaign. Some that voted for them are in fact Republicans or independents. Most of them were hoping for big change and big courage

I think Gibbs is beginning to show signs of wear and tear. He is so desparate to defend his boss that he has become clouded in emotion. Keep a grip Mr. Gibbs.

Did you actually expect to say this administration is doing anything wrong! That would be like a produce store saying their apples were rotten!!

Oh by the way, dimwits.. Gibbs NEVER said "fall in line or else." He said to stop bawling.

"There's a strength in the diversity of opinions that democrats have...That's something we're proud of."

Mr. Burton, The Democrats have a "diversity of opinion" only if they are democratic opinions, and that leads to a left wing opinon only which denies diversity.

mendaciouslib - FULLY INTACT? Homeland Security has radically altered the monitoring of AT&T incoming Pacific fiber optic in 30 locations along the west coast. All wiretaps are now issued by judges and authorized, on the record. Water boarding and secret rendition by the CIA was ordered stopped. Now unless you have been in some prison with the CIA helping them drown some terrorist, I believe the Obama administration and not you. As to the far left demands, they are just going to have to learn patience. The job will get done.

Accusing people of being on drugs ... who happen to have different opinions than those of Press-man Gibbs (or the administration) ... is like saying "free speech" is only allowed by them. Thanks for constantly exposing the truth by means of your lies.

"... is there ever some frustration from anyone who works in this building about the way it's being covered? Sure. But that doesn't distract us from the serious work we have to do."

How "serious" work gets done when the president is on vacation all the time?
Normally when a new hire starts working for a company they have to earn their vaction time (usually after 1 year of work) then they would have "earned" one or two weeks vacation time.

This president and family have taken more vactions in less than two years than I have in 37 years of work. I think this president has his priorities screwd up.

Gee, that's subtle. Basically he is screeching 'get back in line' or you will be sorry!
