Robert Gibbs is Doing a Great Job keeping the Mediawhores at bay
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 02:05 PM by Roberto1223
Unf-ingbelievable. The MSM must be among the top 5 America's enemies, they are stupid, ridiculous and a pack of morons! Oathgate, not happy with closing GiTMO, etc etc. Gibbs and the Obama team need to re-train these bastards. The most reasonable is Helen Thomas, God bless her, still doing a good job in her advanced age.

3. For Chuckie, it was all about oath-gate and lack of TV media coverage during 2nd swearing-in. nt

7. That sounds like.....a waste of time.
Seriously, you think that one would have a good, purposeful question during your first chance at face time with the new press secretary. There are plenty of fair, tough questions that can be asked, but oathgate just seemed like a shallow waste of time.

4. Why did you do a oath again? Why was the press not allowed to view the second oath?

14. Also asked over and over again about re-signing exec orders since they redid oath.
As if to say the exec orders signed yesterday were null & void since Pres Obama signed them before the retaking of the oath.

9. The OathGate questions are silly. He's President. He took the oath.
There is no issue.

10. I love his even tone throughout
and his answers are thorough. The press are trying to get a take on him and he them as this is the first official press briefing of President Obama's administration.

I am not surprised at their questions, some have been not bad, some the typical nonsense they have always focused on.

11. Robert Gibbs had a great debut
as the inner jackal of the presscorp was released today. It's only going to get better for him.

13. Agree, he has a disarming manner about him...
and he was expecting the kinds of questions he received there is no doubt. As has been said before, we need to relax, the smart ones are now in charge!

18. Love him.
Love him. Love the luxury of hearing an intelligent press conference (from the point of view of the current Administration LOL) after only about a decade... counting from pre-Monica. It's just great

20. And what is a "Good job" to you? Softball questions to your guy?
You people are no different than those you claim to counter.
