Robert Gibbs too embarrassed to ask Obama about his teabagger comment

Our post-partisan President used the vile term “teabaggers” in reference to anti-tax, anti-big government protesters. You know, the ones who –- according to numerous polls — enjoy the support of a majority of the American people.

The term is apparently so embarrassing that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs can’t imagine himself asking the President why he used it.

If embarrassment is the new standard by which subjects are discussed in the oval office, we would imagine that the two men are unable to discuss most of what this President has done since he took office.

  • It seems we got a new troll... How nice. They are cute when they first arrive and then they get all ugly and noisy and start to shed stupidity so at that time it is time to stop feeding him. From what planet do trolls come from?

    Gibbs is an idiot. He knows what he is doing. His non answers, his dodging his strategies are all part of this game of "I am using the media" campaign by Obama and Co.

  • CO2Insanity, after reviewing your Combat zone Boston link I agree that must be what he was referring to.

    • Actually Mark's combat zone is probably right outside the schoolyards where he is trying to entice the children to get in his car so he can have his way with them. Didn't you know he won the pedophile cross with a star for valor.

  • Geez, I just read the comment that our friend mark made saying he was a combat vet, You pathetic load of crap, people that say the things you say don't join the military, your a weasle.

  • Mark, why do you persist? You've already shown that you can outclass us with your superior intelligence, AND your multilingual. Your boring though so if you don't mind go back and talk to your friends that believe the same idiotic dogma that you keep repeating.

  • To go back to the basis of this story-Gibbs isn't embarrassed to ask, he is too busy being tea-bagged by Barry Soetero to ask the question.

  • Oh my.
    "Tea parties aren't racist. ...if he wants to see racism he should go down to the all-brown beans and rice protests..."
    Nope, no racism within the tea party. I'm saving this whole conversation to post on my blog, with a link back. You guys should get some good traffic from this. Oh man, not even an ounce of self awareness. Perfect, thanks, and hasta luego chico.

    • Sorry Mark, we checked, and apparently no one reads your blog. No traffic at all from it. You are talking to yourself there. But keep it up; apparently self-pleasure is what you are seeking this evening.

      And Mark, really, if you want to see racism, merely look to your president who is sparking a race war.

      Did you know that when there was speculation that Colin Powell was a candidate for president, that 70% of republicans polled said they would vote for him? Please, without going off on a tactical liberal tangent, please explain the racism in that. Were we just experiencing black guilt? Where we only backing Condi because she was really just an Oreo Coolie, as you on the left racially like to describe conservative blacks? Why is it that only the left brings up race, over and over and over again? Why is it that Obama last week, when rallying the troops choose to include everyone but the white male in is call to action? I could go on, but I assume you cannot even answer these questions?

      I'm really curious if you can answer each of the few above questions, one by one, specifically, without some trick to change the subject. Give it a try Mark.

      • Mark obviously beleives whatever "libtard hype" he reads and doesn't bother worry about original thoughts or reality.

        Hey Mark! I'm a conservative. Guess what Mark? You know my daughter is half black and half white just like Obama? You know what Mark? When I say Obama sucks it's not racial, it's because I don't like his politics. You know what Mark? I employ lots of minorities. You know why? Becuase they do a good job, and if they don't and I fire one it's not because of their race, it's only a performance thing, just like Obama.

        Can I ask you something Mark? Why is it if a black, hispanic, oriental or whatever doesn't like a white person who's a President, Senator, Mayor or whatever, it's not racist but if I don't like a black/hispanic/oriental or whatever minority President, Senator, Mayor or whatever it's suddenly racist?

        You know why it's made out to be that way? It's because of the libtard medial and their bullshit Mark. They love clueless people like you that believe their propaganda.

  • You see, I knew if I persisted with my ridiculous comments long enough that I would draw it out of you. Why is it even necessary to remark on the presidents race if not for the fact that the very essence of the tea party is racism and bigotry. Thanks for proving my point, and for helping me to win a hundred dollars. And with that I bid you au revoir.

    • Nice try, Mark. You played the race card in your very first post...amigo. "Why is it even necessary to remark on the president's race" you ask? You tell me. It's standard operating procedure for the left and it's really getting old and worn out. BTW, was that $100 bet on who could make a fool of themself the quickest? You most definitely won that one.

    • Besides, drawing such remarks out of anyone who posts a comment here proves nothing about the teapartiers. Not everyone here is associated with the teaparty. This site is not affiliated with the teaparty as far as I know. You assume far too much by lumping any and all who disagree with your analysis into the same catagory. It exposes your bias. But hey, don't let hard facts and proper analysis stop you...go on believing you won something here.

    • Wow, you sure faked being ridiculous well, almost like a natural talent or something. Glad you won a hundred dollars, maybe you can buy a personality.

  • Tea parties aren't racist. I know several African Americans and other races that go to tea parties. Heck, even the granddaughter of MLK is on the side of the tea parties. Mark has no argument and no proof. However, if he wants to see racism he should go down to the all-brown beans and rice protests where they're hollering about Arizona enforcing the border laws already on the books. He'll find plenty of flag-burning communists there he can identify with.
