1/15/10: White House Press Briefing

[darrellmellissa]

Wonder what Obama will say when he fills out his survey guestions?

[youbestbequiet]

This guy is such a waste of good air!

[cubbies4e]

He's no CJ Cregg...

[poweroff8]

They not only delete my posts, cancel my accounts, but also even set up secret automatic filters to filter out any information about my human rights case. Please search for my story, my name is Wanxia Liao. My site: wliao(.)150m(.)com

[poweroff8]

It is amazing that the US government has the gall to attack other countries like China for Internet political censorship, because the US itself is doing the same thing and even bolder. In my case, all the US media, including Google, CNN, youtube, yahoo, etc. imposed political censorship on my posts for these posts reveal the racial persecution on me by the US and Canadian governments.

[RangRing68]

3 more years and this fucking Bozo is out of here with his master Obama and the rest of those knuckleheads in Washington!

[bryanguy1]

I just wanted to Say Scott won anyway wooo

[nancycamryn397]

hehe yep im a little wild in the sack :)

[wayneo169]

is it me or does this guy look like a major puppet ! what a turd

[mebrianS]

Get Real England. If all Obama wanted to do was what you said, he'd have a little more support from the people. That's not what is going on. Besides, the President doesn't create law, 435 House members and 100 Senators do.

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

America is one dumb place, you'v just put a Republican in the senate. Democrates have lost their 60 seat Majority. My God how stupid can you get. All Obama wants to do is stop Insurance companies stealing from the people but dumb Americans like Insurance companies screwing them for every penny, my God how stupid are the american people - LOL England

[the82spartans]

Cheeky fellow, that.

iLuvAkeys:You have you're government and we have ours so piss off little wanker.

Your name is gay.

[JackBlair2]

These people said the process would be open. It has not been open.

[JackBlair2]

But Gibbs is just a mouthpiece.

[qurelm25]

I wish the media had the brass to flatout boycot these dog and pony shows. There are absolutely no facts given at these - ZERO.  Total propoganda.

"We're not on the ballot." That says it all. Now that they're in office they don't have to answer to anyone. You voted us in and now you're stuck with us.

"I'm not going to get into specifics." and yet won't even give a broad answer - "Yes" or "No".

[garbo4colorado]

From start to 16:30, I counted 178 "Uhh's" and couldn't go on.

[eameece]

I hope the people in Massachusetts get out tommorrow and clean out the tea baggers from despoiling our country. Vote for Coakley and keep hope alive.

[sprtpilot]

Whoops...the Dems got out and many of them must have voted for Brown cause Coakley got crushed.

[mklarson80]

Also, if you watch the C-span version if this meeting (Jan. 15th white house briefing) you will hear three reporters of very different political beliefs say almost in tandem that they way this meeting went down was disrespectful, crazy, and idiotic. Especially as Gibbs leaving the room. They edited that our on this video.

[mklarson80]

I have never seen Gibbs take such a beating from the press as he did in this clip. I know most of you won't watch the whole thing but it devolves into a circus at many points with multiple reporters from the left and right side of politics get increasingly get angry as he flat out lies to them, and they know and resent it.

BTW If any of you are talented enough to go through this clip and make a highlights video, that would be great!

[PaulRevere77381]

Can't wait until Gibbs goes back to his old job cleaning toilets in Washington D.C..

[damacdown]

Do the math, Gibby! Where's all the money going now?

Okay, Okay! I can't do it... your favorite words (uh or um) are still in full stride - maybe next year, right? Please stop it and just speak from the heart - ahhhh, transparency. It's to the point of nausea.

uh or um:

interjection 1. (used as an expression of doubt, hesitation, deliberation, etc.)

[gjtek2003]

GIBBS, such an asshole

[Minuteman9112012]

Fucking ~DOPE~

[huzzy33]

Gibby just makes me want to vomit.

[moreaujeremy2116]

@huzzy33

And how did you feel about Dana Perino?

[mia33134]

Haiti Earthquake:

Another of the many issues Barama 'inherited' from President Bush?

[MulligansValley]

hahaha! love it!

[sigmundphreud]

Sure, it's a 40% Tax on insurance Companies, who then pass it on to Tax Payers. Gibbs you are an imbecile if you think "We The People" don't see through this crap! :(

[abominationof]

Clinton ,Bush and obama should take about USA first then think about Haitian quake

[hopeurfree]

A funny thing happened to Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson and his wife at Dante' Pizza back home in Nebraska. When they entered, the good Patrons of Dante' booed them and yelled at them to "get out". The traitor and his wife left. Nebraska folks know a tyrant when they see one.

[andylori111]

Would have been GREAT if someone had a utube video of this incident........Pricelss!

[slenderlatina]

blah, blah, rant, rant...

[oceanjockey1000]

Haiti: America's 51st state!

[ConspiracyHist]

whos the bald girl talking in the beginning with the glasses?

[SuperPiye]

BRAND NEW!!! SWINE FLU!!! Prevention song on youtube, go to maleak ali good hygiene. Please find the goodness in your heart, and help spread the message go lisen.......

[hopeurfree]

When you exempt the Unions from paying a tax, so they will support the bill, it is a BRIBE. Democrats are creating the Union Class, a class of people above the rest of America, which we now are forced to support. This is tyranny.

If you live in a Right to Work State, BOYCOTT Union Labor.

[tazru333]

@ hopeurfree

If you live in a "Right to Work State" secede and take your "Values" with you. I will volunteer to help build the wall to keep Al Qracker inside their Calvinist Confederacy, don't let the door hit you in the "Job Creator". We are tired of subsidizing the South.

[hopeurfree]

tazru - So you feel Unions deserve a free ride at the expense of those who must pay their share now? You feel we all should pay for the Nebraska shakedown? The Louisiana Purchase? These are Bribes, Chicago Thug style. Unions are run by thugs and I say BOYCOTT the bums.

[tazru333]

@ hopeurfree

I simply wish for people who "believe" the way you do to have a Separate Country to live in. I want no part of the Plantation Mentality of the Slave States.

Your comments only prove that you have no idea what is going on, but repeat the reactions you hear on Talk Radio.

The Excise Tax was just recently created in order to pacify the Right Wing Tory/Conservatives, it should never have been on the table. Single-Payer would get the Insurance parasites out of the system.

[shadowvowed187]

America Has Now become over 10% Of unemployment!!!!!

[happy2bUSA]

humm must ne true that there are no athiests in foxholes. They have not set foot in church for sunday services since he withdrew from his best buddies Racist church in Chicago...but his numbers are in the toliet now...so now its about the big show in church. Too little too late, bro.

[plainlake]

Im all in for the democratic party politics, but this press secretary is almost as bad as Bush2. at public speaking.

[WinterHaven]

I would have liked to see Hillary Clinton to be president - at least Vice president. It's sad you got dog face Joe Biden who is the male version of Sarah Palin.

[WinterHaven]

USA buys a LOT of seafood and fish from CHINA, whose waters are 80% extremely toxic. That's a fact. Pollution is not good for your health. China are #1 polluters but you all won't touch that because CHINA owns us economically.

[WinterHaven]

You all are going to borrow more money from CHina so they can peddle their melamine poison products and lead paint toys. They sell POISON. Got Chinese drywall? OHH BOY!

[WinterHaven]

I hate to say this, but America is in horrible condition-the economy is a DISASTER-and all I hear is help the Haitians. YOUR OWN AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STARVING AND HOMELESS.

[bb112266]

Yes we are, but someone out there got it a lot worse. With the disaster that is facing Haiti, I hope it will bring out unity as a human race. Dividing among ourselves is never the solution. I hate to say this, but most that are starving in the USA has nothing to do with the economy. Some people likes to be poor. What we can do as Americans is to help those we can, and allow the others to go their way if they push away help when needed. They have the free will to choose.

[WinterHaven]

There is no unity with the human race: "Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed." -Planet of the Apes

[WinterHaven]

Our nation is drowning with poverty and UNEMPLOYMENT. When are you going to a campaign drive to help your own people. I know-it's not your problem. You all have nice cushy high paying jobs. Unemployment is running out for millions of Americans and they will be forced on the streets-and all I hear is help the Haitians. WTF????

[WinterHaven]

Haiti already received over a billion dollars in international money donations-MOST of which is going to their corrupt government for their champagne and caviar life styles.

[logansGT]

Thank you Propaganda Minister Robert "um ah er ah um" Gibbs.

It's soooo much fun watching you being buried in your own bullshit.

[WinterHaven]

For those who want to go to Haiti-keep in mind that country is plagued with tuberculosis even prior to the earthquake. Soon there will be cholera, dyentaries, amoeba diseases that crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes highly contagious meningitis. If you CHOOSE to go to Haiti-STAY THERE and please do not infect Americans with those Haitian diseases of poverty. Thank you.

[Spockkid]

Robert Gibbs is an idiot.

[Deicer]

Eh.. uh... oh...

[plainlake]

Reminds me of bush..

[NookulerFreedom]

Oh by the way, did I tell Robert Gibbs what a lying bumbling clown he is today?

Say "status quo" again Gibss, you have almost brainwashed them.

We are all laughing at you.

[NookulerFreedom]

Hi Prez!

So I read this strategy assessment:

heritage . org/Research/Iran/bg2359.cfm

Now I see why you are such a failure.

Do you guys actually pay people to come up with this rubbish? What's worse is you seem to be using it as a policy.

Once again, their obvious personal ambitions contradict a clear strategic thinking.

Don't believe me?

Just look at your track record thus far.

Pathetic

[Wildberg09]

Are there questions they are prohibited from asking?

[pgunn01]

As liberal as I am, I wish Gibbs would just admit that Obama is breaking his campaign promise to keep the meetings open, and explain why he's doing it rather than pretending he's not.

[FreedomsReigning]

He's can't do that. If he did explain why Obama can't keep promises, or why the agenda never changes, the public would revolt.

DC fell to organized crime and treason a long time ago. The last real president we had was JFK who attempted to take back our currency from the off shore banks, and stood up to the military industrial complex.

Our country is run by a pirate class of Malthusian rent takers.

[pgunn01]

I don't think so. This is just him being as human as everyone else. There's no sense in dragging all this conspiracy theory nonsense into what's a very simple part of who we are as humans. I'd prefer he just say "I'm sorry, that didn't turn out to be a workable campaign promise because the Republicans have decided to attack all their own moderates who can see that this is in fact a good (although overly watered-down) bill", or "turns out it would be a media circus rather than negotiation".

[FreedomsReigning]

Ya, I know you "don't think so". Your illusions are what he's protecting.

[tazru333]

@ PenultimateRun

That is a good idea for many of the mutant EweTubers that flood the comments with rants too unintelligible to qualify as proper Gibberish.

Folks call them "bampots" in Scotland.

[voyeurdug]

Don't feed the trolls. They'll feed on each other.

[memama2]

@voyeurdug = that LINE!....lol!........ the DIMS post it over and over and it has won "Goob Post Of The Week" several times! (and it's always from a DIM) = lol!

[FreedomsReigning]

The only "trolls" I see are the ones that blindly support a fascist puppet like Barak Obama.

It is not our duty to protect or defend a man because he's the president. It's our duty to protect the presidency from men like Barak Obama, and remove the Nazi collectivists he appoints such as Cass Sunstein.

[Mark27nj]

Don't do that.

That's exactly what she wants.

[RebelsLiberator]

I got a question.If sanctions on Iran are supposed to be a threat,then why is Italy ,a NATO member,still trading with Iran?Thats 2.17 billion euros in trade in 2008.What sanctions are supposed to work ?

[NiteAngel]

ISRAELI army on Friday sent off two aircraft carrying a 220 strong medical team and crammed with supplies to quake devastated Haiti a spokesman said The Israeli team comprises 220 people who will establish a field hospital the army spokesman said The team comprises 40 doctors 44 nurses as well as technical personnel One third of the team is made up of army reservists LOL WERE are your wonderful ARABS

[GoogleGas]

@NiteAngel you must be kidding Obama those not want Israel to show up in Haiti and help witch their doctors can do better then anyone, he only wants to make Israel look bad so he can push them around...

[flailshoot]

@memama2

Obama can't do shit about airports you dumbass. His power is limited. Why?

Because he is an America president. He just makes minor military descisions and signs things. It's the fucking congress that should have most of the blame. So they make people believe he has more power than he really does so they can get away with more. You can either finish school or make yourself look even dumber.

[memama2]

@flailshoot = says "he just makes minor military decisions" (he spelled "descisions") .....So Sorry to inform you "FAIL"! The Job Obama has is =Commmander In Chief!....OF The Military! And "he signs things".....lol!.......he is PAYING people off to force Obama Crap Care on to us with a stroke of his ~signature! And nobody WANTS IT!.......he wants more power and you DIMS are so dang stupid as to have voted that shape-shifting liar into office and do NOT even know that goobs JOB or "powers" NOW!.

[MrSuperpunch019]

Americans are childlike naive animals that shouldn't really matter anyways. Most of you dumb gullible fuckers are just taking precious natural resources away from the earth.

[MrSuperpunch019]

Go take your fucking meds.

[flailshoot]

@MrSuperpunch019

One thing. Ever heard of diversity. In large countries you will find every kind of person there is. Of course you will find children but there is a better side too. However people like memama2 just make everyone look bad. Use both of your eyes.

[memama2]

...this video looks like it was made in Russia in the 60's?............ and then he says "the agreement is fair"???.....huh?....when he says NOTHING and admits to NOTHING.....these poor reporters have to daily make a "report" out of er....er.......er........ah...­......ah...........then always followed by: "we're gonna get into THAT in the days AHEAD"......(non-answer team obaama 101).....= he luvs that one! .....And then his big finale "dear leader" and I do not commit to ANY Actual Math!

[WorldIslamicOrder]

Obama tell Gibbs to talk faster, he is too slow.

[sigmundphreud]

As long as you are on the subject of Google and censorship; this Administration is probably researching The Chinese model so they can apply it here. 螺杆你，奥巴马是肯尼亚！

[OlGreyWolf58]

Worrying about the homeless in Haiti? What about the Homeless here in America?

[OlGreyWolf58]

You got that right. Frig the people here at home, but apologize and kiss tush to the rest of the world.

[iJafa]

What about the thousands of injured and comatosed people in Haiti? They need immediate help! Do you disagree?

[OlGreyWolf58]

I agree, but do not give our tax dollars to haiti. Help them in other ways, but start spending on our own people.

[OlGreyWolf58]

I finally see the light

[NiteAngel]

@OlGreyWolf58 dont worry about the American homeless the USA Bank CEO's are so kind, that they will give their extra Billions to help the homeless in the USA.. one got to remember a none homeless person has a bank account and banks CEO's can make their Billions back

[Henroidt]

Bringing attention to one thing does not logically conclude with all other things being forgotten or ignored.

If you want to question priority, I will question your concern for the homeless in America only in the wake of the earthquake in Haiti. Where was your concern prior?

[memama2]

Henroidt = where was your "priority" for worrying about this country when Obama had crackpot associations with Bill Ayers - Rev. Wrong - Van Jones - Rambo dead fish Emanuel - SEIU and ACORN and all the numerous other evil cons and Czars he has associated with and then you STILL? voted for him? Where was "your concern prior" to casting that vote for such a CSPAN shy commie con man? All forgotten or ignored? Just Hype and Cheese = now! isn't that what you thought it said next to your checking YES?

[John4660]

I want my health care plan disclosed (costs related) so that i can see exactly what is in my benefits, if any.

[Henroidt]

Ask your health care provider then.
