Gibbs: Definitional Difference Between "Sound" And "Strong"

[vr66r]

Didn't Clinton use to play word games like this?

[czubspenx]

Does anybody really like this press secretary???

[mattrmc19]

this idiot is totally amature.

[FireBatLover]

Robert Gibbs is a ignorant clown! Gibb contorted McCain's response by misinterpreting "strong" as his final opinion while McCain understood the need for resilience in our economy.

It's too bad that Tony Snow resigned because of cancer otherwise Snow would have been hired by Obama and replaced by this wondering comical clown.

[crrlm8]

This guy is sometimes very naive... and he scares me sometimes when he talks almost righteously something about his demeanor. I don't hate Obama but I find myself increasingly becoming worried about where this country is going....and how it is getting there...

World record-Negative No. 1: The 10 trillion dollar debt

World record-Negative No. 2: The 1.7 billion U.S. dollars debt growth per day

World record-Negative No. 3: The 800 billion U.S. dollars current account deficit

[crazyassgerman]

obama and his dicks are a lying little bunch of kids. This is a train wreck I would love to take this guy hunting.

[midniteKnite]

WHO IS THIS IDIOT?????

[underbird]

depends on the meaning of is is

[JayAreDubya]

Am I the only who is left totally confused by his half-ass answer?

"Ecco un ditatore!"

--Benito Mussolini on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's economic policies

[phenom65]

Since when does the gov't create jobs?  I feel like some people want to put the carriage in front of the horse.

[mutuga]

I miss Tony Snow. This guy is an idiot.

[dencal26]

The Obama propaganda machine cannot keep the same story for more than a day.

[mjd612]

Interesting how he describes tax cuts as a "reward to those that for the past 8 years have done just fine" (with his fake accent).

1. The mask is off here and the actions taken under Obama's communist ideology are not a response to "crisis" but his misgivings about capitalism (they refer to '8 year' problems constantly, despite the econ. being strong for most of those years). 2. "Rewards" indicate the $ belongs to gov't and is "given" to business, instead of the other way around.

[waterblom]

haha, at least this tool can talk without a teleprompter, unlike his boss.

[tbackes]

mc cain said "sound" humpty dumpty

[OxyConservative]

The Dali Obama portrayed himself as being the post-partisan savior of mankind, yet the first moves he made were to appoint this rabid, partisan doughboy Robert Gibbs as the spokesperson of the Obama administration and hot headed attack dog Rahm Emmanuel as his chief of staff. You will not find two more partisan lowlifes in Washington than Gibbs and Emmanuel.

Just one of the many instances of Obama's words not matching his rhetoric.

[bobhardball]

You must be dumb or a natural born moron, if you think Obama would let his enemies attack him and do nothing because he promised change on the campaign trail. WAKE UP!!!

[TheSharpenedPen]

Christina Romer. When asked during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" if the fundamentals of the economy were sound, she replied: "Of course they are sound."

[aw2921]

it's also about timing

Sept 11th was a beautiful sunny day in NY until 8:46 am - so not one would say that was a beautiful day - or call it that

Saying the economy is strong - fundamentally or not - the very same day Lehman Bros is going out of business shows a detachment from reality

The two comments are not even parallel when looking in context

This is a media with too much time on their hands

[kneedragginfool]

Jeez, maybe you should have Gibb's job, spinmeister!

[TheSharpenedPen]

These hypocrites are becoming more of a joke daily. If the fundamentals of the economy were 'sound', then they'd have to be 'strong', and if they were 'strong', then of course they would be 'sound'. Its staggering to witness the level of deceit that true liberals bring to the table. Always playing games with semantics while people's lives hang in the balance. They're not 'quotas', they're ummm errr, 'numerical goals'!

Well FU very much. By FU of course, I mean foster unity...

[bobhardball]

Here is what Obama himself said: "If we are keeping focused on all the fundamentally sound aspects of our economy, all the outstanding companies, workers, all the innovation and dynamism in this economy, then we're going to get through this. And I'm very confident about that." This has NOTHING to do with what the self-contradicting bastard is saying in the video above!!!

[TheSharpenedPen]

MSNBC, March 14, 2009:

"There's a reason why even in the midst of this economic crisis you've seen actual increases in investment flows here into the United States," Obama said. "I think it's a recognition that the 'stability' not only of our 'economic' system, but also our political system, is extraordinary.

"I think that not just the Chinese government, but every investor, can have absolute confidence in the 'soundness' of investments in the United States," he added.

[bobhardball]

AGAIN: The pundits and morons surrounding Obama have OBVIOUSLY twisted the initial statements to suggest that the president had declared the fundamentals of the economy to be sound, which he had NOT !!!

[TheSharpenedPen]

I think that is what he just said in the quote above, albeit using different words and terms. These are the types of semantics that the socialist liberal bent like to play in.

I guess when the Chinese ask, the answer is, "Yes, the fundamentals are sound!"

Of course, when they've got you by the balls because your mortgaging your great, great grandchildren's futures to the hilt, you'll say whatever you have to.

[bobhardball]

Instead of trying to find out what Obama and his aides said, you should ask yourself why the Chinese are suddenly worried about their investments in the U.S. There is something FUNDAMENTALLY wrong with this picture...

[TheSharpenedPen]

Of course there is, but NOT ACCORDING TO OBAMA. In January, foreign investors were "NET SELLERS" of US debt instruments - otherwise known as treasuries. With treasuries being unloaded onto the market at levels never before seen in the pursuit of Keynsian stimulus packages, the Chinese are right to worry if their investments are sound.

It's incredibly sad, that through trade imbalances, and overspending, the US is on a 'made in China' leash.

[bobhardball]

The Chinese are not really worried about their investments. They are just trying to help their comrades in the white house by giving the impression they might reclaim their money, unless we recover quickly, that is to say accept the one and only option being applied right now: The liberal spendulus. Is that so hard to understand?

[TheSharpenedPen]

The liberal spendulus package, as you so aptly put it, is designed to further sink the US economy, not help it back to its feet. The only things that could save the US economy, if it is not already too buried in trillions owing, is an increase in manufacturing and producing, massive cuts in government spending and a return to small and responsible government - this means of course an end to the Fed as well, and a return to a gold standard, to keep reckless spending in check.

[bobhardball]

You sound like somebody I DEEPLY admire: Ron Paul. But the trugh is: Most of us are caught in the notion that there is no alternative to the Democratic and Republican Party. As a consequence of this NONSENSE, we end up electing a moron (Bush) or empty suit (Obama). I guess that is the price we have to pay for listening too much to ideologues like Olbermann or O´Reilly. That is just pathetic!!!
