Press secretary Robert Gibbs tried to tap dance around a question yesterday, but in a major surprise, the press didn’t let him get away with it.
AP reporter Jennifer Loven and ABC’s Jake Tapper pressed Gibbs to explain why President Obama bragged about saving $100 million in his proposed budget when he had downplayed $8 billion in earmark spending several weeks ago.
It wasn’t pretty. Gibbs eventually adopted the strategy of talking and talking and talking until everyone forgot what the question was.
