Rejection! Gibbs Shows Photo Of Obama Blocking Reggie Love's Shot

[ieodksnw787]

yeah, more contact than anybody can imagine

[Petekiv]

Why isn't this dirty, homosexual, illegal, muslim coon, not in jail right now. Even starting with just hi SS # Fraud and morso, he is a Uganda citizen. Throw this porch monkey and his fat, ugly, size 14 shoed wife, michelle in prison also. Rick Wiles explains. Also: Her Name is Miss Ann. I respect James Manning, Paine, Corsi and Atlah, but the rest of the coons can't run a shoeshine stand. When will Hillary send Huma to an early grave?

[QuadSonicStereo]

Yea he blocks reggie's shots with his mouth and then swallowed.. he's gay!

[drlechter789]

Basketball nigger

[Kzastle]

No shit if you call the president "a damn nigger communist" people will think you're a racist. Too bad none of the GoP actually bother to give his policies criticism so he just trounces them whenever they rear their heads in feeble opposition. Way to go, GoP, fucking up America by ruining the legislative process.

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

lol Gibbs is so cheesy.

[Sheeple101]

he is used to pulling illegal moves so what would be  different in this shot?

[612lakes]

Geez! Can't you all simply see it as a moment of humor?

[NikolitaNiko]

No kidding. God forbid the President take an hour to unwind and play a game or two of basketball. *eyeroll* Or want an autograph like any other fan.

[menjo9]

Yall are a bunch of haters. Congrats to Pres Obama for the Nobel. Suck on that you haters ha ha. There is nothing you can do or say to change that ,take it without lube you lil hos.

[theygunaHATEME]

WOW important information Gibbs how about those failed multi trillion dollar bailouts fuckheads

[RTistAngel]

Foul

[nandansho]

Obama gives Repulicans and some Conservatives major stress,That makes me feel absolutly Marvelous!...So much stress that they spin any friggen thing the Man does, into a negetive BTW SNL is off the Mark He said he'd close Guantanemo by January.

[st4ticblu3]

"That's a foul!"

I laughed when i heard that. :p

[8161964mc]

ha  ha ha you and obama suck

[Rata4You]

To "suck" you'd have to have lost the election. I believe the people who suck are Palin & her father McCain. When you win and don't suck, you get a kick as limo, Airforce 1, and it's steak every night. Umm...Palin and her daddy suck.

Just fo the record. And BTW, don't fight the last election. It's over. Put down your tin hat and get therapy.

[noiwudnttrip]

Worst press secretary ever.

[09090985]

gibbs is a useless and stupid person. he makes you fall asleep just listening to him

[hawie55]

with names like nightrunner and confederate backgrounds on your youtube page :p you wonder why your the only one in society whos mad lol.

Guess i'd be mad if i were a loser 2 tho.

[hawie55]

lol!

[azjeff1971]

Goddamn that asswipe obama...wasting time on our tax dollars.

[RodgersRevolution]

Are you related to that ass wipe bush who was on vacation more than any other president in history?

[jcub33]

AZJEFF1971, you're worried about wasting tax dollars?

Bush was on vacation for almost 2 YEARS of his Presidency!!! That's PAID vacation leave...and you're crying about Obama taking a 20-30min game of basketball? You gotta be kidding.

8 years as President = 2,920 days in office.

Time spent at Crawford & Camp David = 977 days.

Enough said.

[Nightrunner529]

wtf? Who gives a shit? The Obama water carriers in the Washington press corps love this shit. Troops dying, USA going bankrupt and this Obama stooge shows a pic of our Savior and his Master? What a nest of vipers we have running this once great country

[FakeOutrage]

Nightrunner529, thank god that no troops died and the American economy was going so well under President Gee W Bush. Otherwise he might not havebeen able to take so many month long vacations and bush clearing photo ops.

[Raphael2885]

to be honest it was great before you or your grandfather or maybe even his grandfather's grandfather could vote. where ever this obvious badapple of rasicm was imprinted into , before then thats when the country was good. and i say rascim simply becasue you just fail to neglect as others pointed out GW for almost half the presicency was on vacation. but apparently a 30min pickup game over the span of the average lunch break is destroying the country all of a sudden, deport yourself please

[freesk8]

Fiddling while Rome burns.

[xdir]

Could be worse, he could have sat watching olympic games in Beijing while the economy crashed.. Oh yea that was Bush.

[freesk8]

I never voted for Bush. Not for McCain, either.

I just find it insensitive that the WH press secretary is joking and the Prez is getting press for shooting hoops while real unemployment is 17%, the deficit has gone from 3% to 10% of GDP, and Americans are dying in a pointless war in Afghanistan. Obama just got his request to send more troops to their deaths there, and he gets a Nobel Peace prize?

Bush and Obama both suck.

As the Who sang, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

[xdir]

If Obama sat about doing nothing, THEN went about playing Golf or Basketball then I would agree with you, but the man is clearly multitasking and actual doing the work he was elected to do - if he works 14 hours a day and takes 2 hours downtime then no one can begrudge him that.

Remember when Bush tapped danced for the press corp, that happened in March 08, the month 40 soldiers where dying in Iraq and a week before Bear Stearns collapsed.

[freesk8]

But SNL is right.

He's achieved nothing.

But I like this. Obama's plans suck, but at least he is not achieving any of them.

Bush's plans were even worse, but the sucky part is that he was successful in implementing some of his evil plots.

I never voted for Bush or McCain, but I am glad I did not vote for Obama either.

But my point is that Obama's Press Secretary is making a point of showing Obama playing.

They choose what they present.

This is either a distraction, or insensitive.

[chefawkes]

im disapointed with obama too but is it fair to say obama hasn't got the troops out of iraq, when he said from the beginning that it was a phased withdrawal over a period of time? is it fair to say he hasn't done anything about gitmo, when he is just in the process of closing it? or nothing on healthcare, when they are in the middle of drafting it. you say bush was successful in his plans, but how many of them were done by october (other than 9/11). lol i kid about the 9/11.

[Africantigers]

Americans are SO SO SO SO SO SO SO STUPID

I always pinch myself whenever the US masses speak

The economic crisis was made over many years-how do u expect Obama to create millions of jobs during the first 8 months??it will take years.

The healthcare reform is not a one button thing-its a process.

Americans are SO SO STUPID.DAMN

[hardstyleravers08]

That is a very inaccurate statement. Americans are not stupid, but yes the rest of that is true.

[xdir]

Its 30sec joke by Gibbs at the expense of a friend, are you saying that the President must wear black and have the flag at half mast until every soldier returns? Its unhealthy for anyone to be working 24/7 and a few hours a week not thinking about the burdens of office is good for the Prez & the Country.

Not to dwell too much on Bush, but his insensitivity was down right cruel, remember the WMD video he made for the correspondents dinner, it was outrageous when first shown and obscene with age.

[Kapan60]

Or how about when Bush asked reporters to watch his golf swing after discussing the "War on Terror"?

Seriously, how is this any different than Bush's actions. We have people dying in the Middle East, and yet we have a President more concerned about getting a picture signed.

Ridiculous. Both sides are unapologetic.

[freesk8]

I agree with you about Bush, but if we can criticize Bush, why not criticize Obama as well?

[BossMadOne]

it seems that if you criticize Barrack you are a racist. Which of course is exactly have the Democrats wanted.

[rdrakken]

Then you, like most conservatives are an idiot.

You cant undo 8 years of shit in such a short amount of time and one person isnt going to do it. It doesnt help that Republitards vote against shit just to be against him.

Also, Obama hasnt agreed to send more troops he is actually tossing around the idea of using the Talibans offer of peace against Bin Laden and use them as the additional forces needed there. And he is also pulling troops out of Iraq faster than planned.

[freesk8]

I'm no conservative. I'm for marriage equality, I'm pro-choice, I've been against Mideast war since 2002, and I'm an out-of-the-closet atheist.

Obama campaigned on the idea of sending MORE troops to Afghanistan, and he is doing just that.

He's done nothing to end the drug war, his health care reform ideas are stalling, and he has done nothing to curb excessive executive branch power.

He campaigned on openness, and has used almost as much secrecy as Bush.

Failure. SNL was right.

[rdrakken]

I suggest you read something other than what you see/hear on Fox. He is not sending anything yet until he reviews everything first. Nothing has been commited to.

BTW, you proved you are a conservative when you say he has achieved nothing. He did more in his first week for America than Bush did in his last year.

If you are going to pretend not to be a sheep, dont rehash crap...think up something new.

[freesk8]

So that whole litany of anti-conservative positions I listed above had no effect on your judgment that I am a conservative?

What is your definition of a conservative?

Is it just someone who opposes some of Obama's policies?

I also opposed most of Bush's policies. I never voted for Bush, and I did not vote for McCain.

If you are going to reply to a comment, it is often a good idea to read the comment first.

[rdrakken]

My definition of conservative? An idiot that doesnt use facts and cannot say anything without saying something verbatim from Fox News and say it as if its their opinion.

In other words, a sheep.

Only a conservative is ignorant enough to say that Obama has done NOTHING just because he hasnt washed away 8 YEARS worth of Republican shit.

And guess what? I DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.

[mjnr7777]

Opinions are like assholes......and yours is rather large......your opinion that is.

[rdrakken]

yep 2010 is coming and I hope you guys really are dumb enough to vote Palin in to go against Obama.

Lol...dumbest fucks on the planet.

BTW, Jesus really did ride a T-rex.

[mjnr7777]

We are far deeper in the bench than you idiots are....be careful what you wish for drone.

[freesk8]

Allow me to propose a better definition of a conservative:

Socially conservative: holding Christian values and wanting to legislate the same. Anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, anti-pornography.

Foreign Policy Conservative: Happy with more power to the executive branch, happy to invade and occupy nations in order to defend corps, wanting a large, powerful military based in foreign lands.

Fiscal conservative, wanting low taxes, limited govt and free market OR wanting govt benefits for corps.

[rdrakken]

Allow me to PROVE to you that is not what a conservative is.

Conservatives had control of all 3 branches of government for 7 full years.

Did not ban abortion

did not ban pornnography

banned gay marriage yet still sucked dicks in airports and sent messages to underage boys.

only lowered taxes on the rich and greatly expanded the power of govt, gave free markets to OTHER nations, not ours.

basically did everything they could to undermine the nation as a whole.

[freesk8]

They TRIED to ban abortion and porn.

Many conservatives are hypocrites. So what? My definition still holds.

They DID lower some taxes, and they increased spending less than the liberals would have.

And I agree that they did what they could to undermine the nation, though I don't think it was intentional.

But my definition still stands, basically unchanged by your last post.

Care to try again?

By the way, I only meet one, tiny part of that def. The first part of the fiscal cons. def.

[rdrakken]

hahaha

no.

You cant say they are "this" and then say "some of them are" when proven wrong. They either are, or are not. Morals are morals all of the time or they are not morals, just opinions to keep sheep in line.

As for your bullshit about they increased spending less than a liberal would. 3 of the last 4 presidents to increase spending were conservatives. And the one liberal that did increase spending (Obama) was to fix the MESS created by a conservative...So much for that lie.

[jay4457]

I may disagree with you. But I highly appreciate you being one of the few "Anti-Obama" people who argue your points using sound and reasonable facts...or as the greeks would put it "Logos"....instead of spewing bias, fabricated rhetoric like so many others.

[freesk8]

Thanks. People don't usually take the time to say something nice.

[PersonalJesus348]

Well Joe is much better than the millions of press secretaries Bush had. I'll give him that.

[asphyxiafeeling]

awesome. and everybody having a heated discussion about Obama in these comments- can we give it a rest, just for one video? this isn't about unemployment or the war or if he's doing a good job, it's just a funny vid about basketball and the president. just lay low for now and then the next TPMTV does something about health care or jobs you can all take out your swords again. LOL

[achampag]

so he can play bball, but he cant get us health care or get us out of the middle east? *sigh*

yeah, i am so impressed.

[WKaliberr]

who the fuck is Reggie

[mpost81]

One term president.

[Innize]

On what planet do you spend most of your time?

Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table- I have no interest in doing it.

[AlienTruth]

That was cool to see. Last night they has Astronomy Night at the White House. They had like 150 kids and a bunch of telescopes and the President gave an amazing speech/science lesson to the kids.  It is very nice to see President who is actually involved in bettering our kids' education and not just sitting there, throwing money at it. It sounded like he was calling out Creationists when he said, "Don't ever let someone tell you there isn't more to be discovered." Where's FuxNews?

[zeedan33]

wow that was weird but in a good way

[macks3123]

1- He's Got Game

2- He's Still a Puppet Suck D**K Big Bro, your Public Relations, Scheme doesn't work on the Resistaooonce!!! Nice Try though.

[enddafed]

our country is being robbed by bankers. people are dying over seas. this is what is taking place. Rome is burning.

[GreenEnergy2112]

I thought I would never live to see the day when I could say "the President has got game" and it feels reel good. And it feels even better because all the conservative ass-wipes are steaming over it. Conservatives≠game

[face40sp]

fucking circus

[ohmoxide]

Thanks for cutting this into this clip. It is great!!

Duke goes down!!

[junkforkaryn]

it still happily surprises me to see a human president in the white house..we're so very lucky to have this brilliant and charming man and his family. let the "green with envy" party die of jealousy over this one.

[jamesmaseobrown]

AMEN to that brother!

Obama is turning out to be quite a man. Many of us on the left areangry at his patience and willingness to compromise. But unlike the right, he recognises that America is pluralistic.

Conservatives that that only they are Americans, and that only thier views count.

Their intolerance is unlimited !

[mjnr7777]

Enjoy it while ya can......2010 is coming freak.

[dnnylee]

Oh so funny a pic of Obasketball, when our country is falling to pieces, if he wanted to play ball then try out for a team, but we the people wanted a President 24/7 for we the people, nope to busy on late night TV , playing with the basketball, spending our money, mean while we eat cake. and see our dollars worth equal to a penny. Dem or Rep they are full of it, One day they will have to answer to God for they are accountable to God, there smart just enough to get the job but not smart enough ?

[zndprophet]

Maybe "we the people" should do some shit on our own, and stop expecting the president, or even all of congress to fix everything by themselves.

I've come to the conclusion that we just all suck. Whether we're the president, a middle class family, or a poor person working at burger king. Americans just suck lately. We're all lazy, corrupt, spoiled, whiney, distracted, apathetic and ignorant. "We the people" suck.

If we didn't, we'd stop letting corporations own us.

[njcarlos1]

agreed

[dnnylee]

I concur, Doing my part going back to school re-tooling, since construction hit bottom, so dusting off hanging tool bags up, and beginning a new career, I still believe in We the People but not our politicians,

[TheFolkUtopia]

Plus 20! Man is preaching today! Both of your comment were spot on.

[crtnyevans]

There has never been a president in the history of this country who only worked 24/7. Stop being crazy. I recall George W. Bush hunting days before and after 9/11. And wasn't it big Dick who shot a man in the face while hunting? This isn't even him on vacation, this is him working out. Get a grip

[dnnylee]

24/7 is a figure of speech, There is a time and a place for everything and the white House is a place of serious business as our economy is so seriously falling apart each minute as we speak, but i guess you will be getting a good grip of your soup spoon saying is it soup yet ? While the NAU becomes reality and your reality show will have all new episodes and the guest star could be ?

[crtnyevans]

what the hell are you talking about with soup? And reality shows?

[dnnylee]

Have you ever heard or learned of the Great Depression and the soup lines? got spoon? The reality of this is coming to you local theater soon and you could be a guest star if you don't finish your education like college not just high school, thats reality. now do you see what I am saying? I hope you do. If your attending college don't give up OK ?

[crtnyevans]

i am a junior in college actually

[smoothbrother69]

plz this is one of the hardest working presidents that we have had. It seems that the stuff he is doing is working very well now their are still a lot of test out their for him but right now this speech does not harm the country.

[oldtownkid]

Dude, you need some serious mental health coverage. All presidents, even your little texan retard, take some time off to work out. Your little Bush played golf and liked jogging. Physical activity makes people more effective, I dont think we want someone 24/7 stressed out over foxnews horror stories.

[neobeetle]

I want that!!!

[SYNICtheAtheist]

lmfao!

[robbe21]

At first I wondered why I never see this kind of lightheartedness from the politicians in my country. Then it struck me that maybe, just maybe, it's because they are busy doing their job.

[jsalvo1]

thank you...i hate robert gibbs so much.

[newbreed1]

No wonder you suck.

[CalexanderJ]

Obama: Get the fuck out!!!!!

[phffeir]

what's the matter? people can't stand that the president is a normal person???

[zndprophet]

I think conservatives just have something in their slave owning DNA that pisses them off when black people are doing something besides work.

[shawnzi24]

@zndprophet haha blacks own slaves too dip shit, who do you think sold them into slavery.... I know history sucks when it doesnt fit your agenda

[TheJasonDR]

@zndprophet obama has no slave ancestor his father is kenyan ....he is not a native african american

[joshTheGoods]

I love Obama, but damn man ... Reggie Love? I'm sure every single UIUC alum or b-ball fan has mixed feelings on that relationship.

[chingon711]

uh hello!!....last i checked, unemployment in california is nearing 20%...this is bullshit!

[3star2nr]

conservative policy success

[newbreed1]

And that is Obama's fault? Oh, I forgot, everything is Obama's fault.

[chingon711]

I'm not here to cast blame on obama or anyone but here to remind everybody that we have some serious economic issues on the table, and diverting attention to petty things is unacceptable.

[crtnyevans]

how is this diverting attention. He did get to the more serious issues this wasn't his whole speech. Jeez calm down

[vidann1]

To chingon: Please... get over it, unemployment was high when Bush was going hunting at the ranch, when Cheney was MIA for most of BOTH terms only to get a chance to shot someone while he was hunting. Bullshit?? I think that describes your attitude.

[chingon711]

to vidann: here the unemployment numbers in my county- 05/2001 4% 05/2002 7% 05/2003 8% 05/2004 6% 05/2005 5% 05/2006 4% 05/2007 4% 05/2008 8% 08/2009 17% oh and btw...i voted for Obama...

[vidann1]

To chingon711: Unemployment is up all over the country, here in Ohio 85 of our 88 counties have rates that are at an all time 20 yr high and this rate has been climbing for years not just under Obama. One might even say it started under Clinton, his GOP Congress and their Fannie and Freddie mess. You can't blame this mess on Obama he's only been in office 8 months.

[danthemango]

what about the months between 05/2008 and 08/2009, I wonder how quickly the grade changed. fascinating, right now it's just below what it was during the depression

[robhagle]

w w w . bls . gov / CPS /

Unemployment rate 09/09 - 9.8%

Up from 8% that looks much better than the 4% increase between 07 and 08.

Site your resources please, just because you type it doesn't make it true.

[chingon711]

Read my comment before you make yourself look like a jackass...The numbers I posted are for my county.

[oldtownkid]

Then why didn't you vote for John McCain? The unemployment rate would be like 5% by now, right? Since you like statistics keep going back and see the pattern in previous recessions and after the Great Depression. Recent example: 1980 Carter handed a bad economy to Reagan, unemployment rate 6.5%, 3 years into Reagan's administration we hit 10.8% unemployment (that's why GOPers lost in 1982 congrss electns) , recovery started to take place in late 1983-84 during re-election campaign.

[chingon711]

You know what....you're right....maybe, we should start telling the unemployed americans, who some have been out of work over a year, not to worry and to blow their unemployment checks because things will back to normal in a year even though the crisis this time around is likely worse compared to the GD...and while we're at it, tell obama to take the next few months off to work on his game.

[jcub33]

Oldtown, what you fail to point out is that under Clinton left the country with a HUGE surplus and Bush left it how? Oh and how did Bush Sr. leave office? Reagan left the WH with a 3 trillion dollar DEFECIT.

So it seems like the "conservatives" who claim fiscal responsibility are more in the deficit end of the spectrum than surplus. Nice try though.

[oldtownkid]

What are you talking about? The point I was trying to make is that after a recession it takes a while for the unemployment rate numbers to start moving down. The person I replied to was complaining about unemployment rates being still high and people tend to forget that it wasn't untill the 3rd year of Reagan's first term that the unemployment numbers started to go down. Three long years.

[BossMadOne]

don't rely on the unemployment % to = recover or a continued down turn in our economy. You are only considered unemployed If you are searching for a job or recently laid off.

A increase in the % may mean a increase in jobs and people are now applying for them.

[RedneckResponder]

Wow! Thats some spin there.

How about 16% as the real rate.

[RedneckResponder]

Reagan actually did something to help lower the rate. Obama has done nothing to help. Giving 3000 dollars to poor people in Detriot will produce zero jobs. Not releasing ALL of the stimulis til it's time for re-election will create zero jobs.
