Robert Gibbs furiously tap dances around questions from left and right

Has there ever, in the long history of White House Press Secretaries, been one as smarmy as Robert Gibbs? One who can give such completely vacuous answers to straightforward questions? One who can simultaneously piss off reporters on both ends of the political spectrum and anyone viewing?

  • he should have made some notes and written them on his hand so that he would have something coherent to say during the press conference

  • I despised Gibbs from the start, and honestly, I thought he would have been driven out of the job by now. Gibbs is an ass, and a mirror of his boss, who obviously approves of his snide and flip way of conducting the daily briefing. Even though Obama trips up now and then and shows everyone just what kind of smartass he is, he can't do it on a daily basis the way Gibbs can. I think Obama lives vicariously through Gibbs, because Gibbs says what he would like to say but can't

  • In the days when there was still honor among men, cowards were shot. The press corps should have at least chased him out of the room while throwing their pencils and notebooks at him.

  • Holy crap, are you kidding me? And this guy is "the voice of our presidency"? Give an answer, straight forward and no bs. Unbelievable. Nice transparent administration boys. Do us all a favor and resign.

  • because Ray, he is a douche. The entire cabal around Oblahblah are. They can't give facts, because if they were to tell us on which page of Alinsky's book they have reached in their plan, it would be their ruination.
    The guy is there for one reason and one reason only-to run static while Soetero signs EO's that steal land, change the constitution, and make him Emperor of the former USA. He is doing a brilliant job really-and any man who is willing to take that bullet for an administration is either brilliant, or too stupid for his own good.
    Lets face it, he is 1 with a bullet when barry is dictator-he knows too much, so he is just desperately trying to show his total buy-in to Soetero's agenda, or he is too dumb for words, and that is why he is there. Either way, he is a pig-and he won't last long when Soetero sees his congress turn red in November. There will be no more need for Robert Goebbles to be around if he can't have any more agenda points pass congress!

  • Why is the President's press secretary editorializing about the job Obama is doing? Isn't his job to brief reporters with facts?
