It seemed for one brief moment on Sunday that White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was holding out the Olive Branch from President Obama when he said on CNN, “President Obama does not think opposition to him is racially motivated, a claim made in Maureen Dowd’s Sunday column.”
If only Gibbs had stopped there. But CNN’s John King pushed for more and asked the press secretary about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
“After playing a tape of Obama saying death panels are “a lie, plain and simple,” King asked, “Does the president believe that Sarah Palin is a liar?”
“Despite many media outlets saying that what former Governor Palin was saying wasn’t true, she continued to say it,” Gibbs responded. “I’ll let Webster define what one calls her. I think in the absence of fact… sometimes what happens is we fill the void with stuff that quite frankly isn’t true.” He said Obama helped fill that void in his speech Wednesday night.
It’s unfortunate, but not unsurprising, that King never thought to ask, “Why was the health care bill modified to remove end of life counseling if it could not be misconstrued as death panels?”
Let us fill in the void that Gibb’s answer would create “Ummmmmmmmmm.”

I find this hilarious because Obama is supposed to be so civilized yet he surrounds himself with COMPLETE morons like Gibbs and CHEATS like Geithner.
The people will figure it out sooner or later.
