  • we need cj craig up there..

  • Gibbs- lying "douchebag of the year" The guy looks like a bodily function gone bad. He's impossible to look at and even harder to listen to. Obama must have worked hard to find a pathological liar and weasel of this caliber.

  • It was not on cspan because you only bring a bill with 1200 pages to hide things, so clearly they wanted the public in the dark!

  • FUCK OBAMA. FUCK LIBERALS

  • Yes, Boys & Girls, This Clown is the best mr Oblama can do.

  • I just attempted to post an 'unpopular' comment and it didn't post.  Why is that?

  • Is it just me or did he threaten to somehow discountinue giving the newspapers information about the healthcare issue if they continued to press him for an answer? Listen to what he says at the 1:00 mark

  • @jennib37 Thanks for the comment. The reporter is right, Obama said numerous times he would have the healthcare plan on C-Span and he had nothing. Gibbs is swallowing more than junk food and expecting the rest of us to swallow this junk.

  • I CANT STAND THAT MAN!!!!!!!

  • This man has the worst job in America, he lies to cover up for his bosses lies. He is evil and cares nothing for his fellow American. If he did care, he would not be able to do his job.

  • This man is the most arrogant man in America!

  • DONE with DEMOCRATS...

    OBAMA...WTF?

  • OPT OUT of blomacare..

    IT's POISON..

    Just see what the DEMS did when the blom told them in the state of the blom speech ""Don't Head for the Hills""...and they scattered like mercury droplets on a tile floor...

    Nobody wants what that dude be sellin...not even his own.....

  • So let me get this straight Mr Gibbs, President Obama largely ran his campaign in transparency, being completely open, having open debates on CSPAN, changing the way WA does politics, and you, as his Press Secretary wont even answer a question relating the essence of Obamas election? What a complete disingenuous, lying, spin doctor tool!

    That lack of answer is the embodiment of the Obama administration. Gibbs can only be outdone by Pelosi when it comes to lying to the American people.

  • I think President Obama is good person but was ill advised by crooks. Now he is reaping the benefits of having corrupt cronies around him. He should fire all these crooks and apologize to the Nation for not keeping the C-span promise. A person who cant keep the promise is worthless and not even to explain about the reason for broken promise is ruthless worthless. That is what Mr. Gibbs is doing here.

  • Robert Gibbs is fucking STUPID as hell. He even LOOKS like an idiot. He doesn't even belong anywhere near the White House. Then again, I wouldn't expect much competence, honesty, or intelligence from anybody within the Obama Administration.

    I really can't listen to Obama for more than 5 minutes without getting infuriated. I've seen car salesmen exaggerate and/or lie less than he does.

  • Robert Gibbs is making himself look like a buffoon.

  • The good news is Obama and the Democrates are driving themselves over a cliff, bad news , we are stuck in the same car with them!

  • Unfortunately that's the case. The Democrats ripping a hole in the boat is fine, if everyone else wasn;'t on the same boat.

  • The Dems just cut yet another sweetheart deal with the unions. I guess they didn't want us to see that either.

  • What? You mean you missed that whole part on C-SPAN?

    That was the best part of the show,.

  • I should have set the DVR!

  • If you blinked, you missed it!

  • I haven't seen the letter, so that means Obama never mentioned it in the campaign. Huh?

    I mean, he can't answer a campaign question without a letter written a year later! He's not Superman!

  • What's even more reprehensible was that as an advisor to Obam's campaign, I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbs told Obama to say he'd put it on C-SPAN in the first place.

    What an disingenuous sack of shit!

  • He looked uncomfortable with the question, but, in the end, his arrogance won!

  • It always does with this administration.

  • Yes We can!!!! mmm mmm mmm barack hussein obama mmm mmm mmm!!!

  • I think the President has made back door deals with the pharmacuetical companies and theres probably more to it also. But hes got alot of idiots around him i think. I think hes listening to his advisors alot when he should stick to with his own words he said during the campaign and he would come out good.

  • The only problem with that approach would be THOSE WERE HIS ADVISOR'S WORDS in the first place.

    Obama's actual words would go something like this Ugh, healthcare, er, um, ugh, that is, ugh, change, ugh,healthcare, um, ugh...

  • I haven't seen the letter 'cauz I'm too busy suckin' my boss's dick

  • i had the exact same fake b.c. that muslim hussein obama has shown. what a muslim dick!

  • If this bill becomes law,heads will roll !

  • can this dude ever answer one question right...i know 16 year olds that do thier jobs better than this guy

  • It was just a year ago they called this absolute imbecile "possibly the great press secretary ever" before he answered one question.

    Then again, the same MSM drones called his boss," possibly the smartest POTUS ever "before he did one thing.

    How's that working out a year later for them?

  • it is nice to see one of obamas people get caught up.

  • YALL AINT KNO MUCH BOUT THUGGIN DOE

  • What? lmao

  • america needs jobs, what good is health care in four years if you get sick next week or if you dont have a job. not everyone is on a government check, come of us work hard for our money and to watch these crooks throw it away and steal it from us is tragic.

  • stand up walk up to gibbs and knock that goofy shithead out. what a waste and america had better wake up soon. how do you know that all of them are lying, when their mouth is moving, bush, obama and all of them are liars. time to get rid of them. our founding fathers would have shot them or hung them for treason, not to mention how nothing congress is doing is constitutional.

  • this government in washington is a joke, just like the last few we have had. over and over we see how incompetent and corrupt this bunch is by now. why in the face of ft. hood, the detroit underwear bomber and the attack on our cia in afganistan do we not see passion and anger about that and who is attacking us. all we get are teleprompter speeches and this buffoon not answering even the simplest questions. he might have well be speaking arabic or parsi as much sense as he makes, obama lies!!!

  • Maybe I'm confused, but congressional debate on health care has been televised ad nauseum in both C-SPAN and C-SPAN2, covering both the House and the Senate, and I know this because I watched a good portion of it with my own eyes. What is all this noise about non-transparency? What are these reporters asking about? The meetings between the Executive branch and the Congress relating to this matter? Since when are those televised?

  • When you have a president who promised several times to have the entire debate on C-SPAN and then we get bits and pieces and nothing that gives any explination of the true substance and details of what and who is covered it a huge problem. When in the past have you heard a president give such a promise and not produce and then be given a total pass and not be pressured 24/7 to explain why he lied? Remember Bush 1St when he siad "No new taxes" The press killed him and it cost him re-election.

  • OK if everything was on C-SPAN then why does Gibbs dodge the question? He was asked basically the same question on consecutive days and if what you say is true all he had to do was say "They were on C-SPAN" So why do you think he say that? Because he could not tell a lie to justify a lie.

  • The debate has not been on C-Span. Why do you think even Lamb is calling the bamster out. Lamb runs C-Span. I don't know what you have been watching but it sure wasn't the health care debate.

  • Sorry, I'm screwing royally here. The above remark was meant for armyvetern101st, who probably has never been in the military either. Disregard please.

  • What obama promised was transparency, no behind closed doors, no more politics asusal but open to the people! For you to claim that has come to pass shows you are still drunk on the kool-aid and like a drunk your perception is not the reality around you!

  • Sorry, I mistook you for armyveteran101st.

  • lol no problem

  • Transparency from a Chicago politician? I didn't buy it when he was peddling it. No shock here.

  • Really but we could go even farther into reality and leave out the "chicago" and just say "politician" ;)

  • Roger that!

  • @Mikevdog What is the term "Chicago politician"? Is it code speak for a kind of Liberal, ethno-centric, machine politics? I guess Chicago has been "given over", right? I see both parties merging in their politics. And both parties are equally adept at skirting the Constitution.

  • Are you blind, deaf and dumb? Lamb, who runs C-Span has called the bamster out because he hasn't had the debate on C-Span. I don't know what you have been watching but it certainly was a debate on healthcare.

  • Drop the crackpipe and shut your hallucinations off.

  • @armyveteran101st Since Obama promised they would be.... seriously try and catch up.

  • Since obama promised transparency like no other administration before him...does that ring a bell?

  • the final debates are closed door, c-span will not be allowed to tape the final process of the bill

  • This administration has no idea how much cache they've lost w/ the American people over responses like this. They're like the little child who tells a lie and then keeps digging a deeper and deeper hole instead of just telling the truth. Gibbs seems to think that all these press corps people are total idiots that he can blow off question after question. These people are going make life very miserable for this guy if he continues to treat them like morons.

  • It's alright. I'm personally beginning to enjoy seeing Congress act all condescending and disrespectful to the American people, and act like they're better than us or whatever. The more the politicians on either side talk down to us, the more fed up we get, and the more likely we are to vote their asses out during the elections.

    Dear fucking god, Obama must want to be a one-termer. He and his administration spout so much bullshit, that they're just BEGGING to be voted out in 2012.

  • They have us so busy working to pay tax's that the majority of us don't have time to protest these fools in the W.H.

    Its time to grab pitch forks and torches and run to Washington.

  • @chrisfukinwalker

    That sounds like fun!!

  • Gibbs is like the rest of them in nthe WH and Congress.....PBS

    Professional Bull-Shiters

  • Gibbs is the two brain cells in Obama's head looking for each other because both are lost in a utopian dream.

  • Gibbs is a slimy POS.

  • he works for obama, so he is as slimy as he is.

  • It's good to see Obama stacked his team with even bigger incompetants than himself.

  • yep. now everyone can see that.

  • Another low life Obama yes man

  • HAHAHAHA god what a joke.

  • Gibss does a great job on defining the problem....'THEY' have filled the newspapers with the back and forth on what is in these bills.... (LOL)

    'We the People' do not need DC to filter the information. WE WANT TO HEAR it directly on C-SPAN with no DC filter(s).

    WAKE UP... our individual liberties and freedom are under attack (from within)!!!!!

  • finger licking good man

  • /watch?v=Qj0ZiEEMNgE&feature=r­elated

    shows Obama saying he would have it on CSPAN.

  • They don't want us to hear about the jail time and fines for those who don't buy Health Insurance.

  • Or the millions of dollars they will give in pork to buy votes.

  • Tired of these hypercritical error pickers. Even the best gotcha games get tiring after a while.

  • vote 1 forrest gump.

  • Obama and me where best buddies in year 3

  • Comment removed

  • Obama reminds me of a friend that always talked you into doing something stupid and irresponsible that would get you into trouble, But seemed to make sense at the time, later on you realize your friend did not know what the hell they were talking about and is an asshole, and should have followed your own common sense!

  • lol

  • What an ASS WIPE !!!

  • baronmorris,

    I applaud you for spelling "definitely" correctly. So, many times I see it spelled "definately". It drives me nuts!!!

  • If you would vote for Obama again, than you clearly have no integrity or honor.  Or you want to be a slave to the government.

  • Gibbs is laughable as a mouthpiece for the president.

    He knows what the question is - just like we do - and he's avoiding. He is a master at avoiding the questions. The problem is, this makes the administration's promises of public openness seem even more questionable.

    Dan mentions no letter, and even if he did, the question is about conflict of making promises of the healthcare issue being handled with openness, and then holding meetings behind closed doors.

    Man-up and answer the ?s!!!

  • All you people are bafoons, while you all seem stuck on the letter, I'm questioning the we've given your paper and others with the back and forth of these bills, I don't want to keep that from continuing to happen? that my friends is a straight up threat. Screw you America we'll cut your information off anytime we wish. it's between ;57 to 1:14 So happy I can teach my kid about how are freedoms are constantly up for grabs.

  • How is this guy in front of America How is he RELEVENT.

    It's about time you all grew a pair with this arrogant sob.

  • What fucking letter? The previous reporter said nothing about a letter. These double talking assholes are the reason this country is going to shit. Those 535 congressional lawmaking dicks need to go. THEY need to be subject to the laws they make. THEYneed to be limited to two-4 year terms in the senate. THEY need to have the same retirement plan that we have, which is what we can afford, which in the economy they created is nothing. WE need to vote everyone of those sons-o-bitches out of office.

  • notice, the reporter never mentions any letter. The reporter says C-Span "is requesting leaders in congress..." Who said anything about a letter? What a joke... if you voted for this administration, you're just stupid. Very very stupid.

  • I'm an independant. I voted for Obama and I'm not stupid. Stupid would be if I voted for him again. I assure you I wont be voting for him a second time.

  • Wow! You already have your mind made up to "certainly be voting for him a second time", a full two years in advance! LOL You don't even know who the opposition candidate will be, or what they will be offering to the electorate, yet your "certain" to vote Obama in 2012!

    Its always fun to watch hypocrites, like you, making emotional, party line votes, and trying to masquarade as rational thinkers.

    BTW, I voted Obama in 2008, but theres a good chance Ill vote against him in 2012.

  • why are you such a douche?  you don't know me. piss off.

  • Firstly, I don't have to "know you" to critique what you say on a public forum.

    Secondly, your comment smacked of hypocrisy and irrationality, so I called you on it. GET OVER IT.

    Thirdly, you had every opportunity to refute what I said, and defend your comments, but you chose to degress into childish name calling instead, which basically explains everything = ]

  • There was no such implication in your initial comment. As much as you want to back away from your slip of the tongue, there was no mistaking what you meant when you wrote that youll "certainly be voting for him a second time". Such illogical, premature judgment is hypocritical when uttered by the same douche that speaks of logical fallacies, and tries to paint himself as a rational thinker. PS if I'm a douche, I'm your sisters douche... and she uses me every night, to clean her glory whole.

  • baronmorris, I didn't realize they allowed computers in the high risk wing of the mental ward.

  • yeah, baronmorris, your ignorant of your stupidity.

  • Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I had to replay the video to catch that. You are right, the original question was NOT about the letter, just about the CSPAN request in general.

    Just goes to show you that Gibbs is an expert at diverting the topic and dodging questions. I guess that's why he's in that position. I really hope these reporters have the guts to keep asking the question and keep these guys accountable for their lies.

  • time to stand up and walk up to gibbs and knock that goofy look off his fat face. go back to alabama and see what the good ole boys say to you gibbs. you are a fool and you work for a fool and we americans are fools for allowing washington to be so corrupt and dishonest. they should all go to jail, or worse

  • Number one priority - zero transparency from Obama. Thank Obama, for another LIE!! Pathetic, each time he moves his lips, another lie comes out. Where is the "change"?

  • i really think now that it is all about depopulating...if people can lie to you on such a scale you can even assume they will be able to kill you. just look at the wars america fights! it is all based on lies but they dont care that you are being killed!!!

  • ever heard of a slippery slope argument? cause you just made one. it's a type of fallacy, btw.

  • how many lies are the americans willing to take more? obama said on and on that bills will be debated on c-span. he is a lier a lier a lier WAKE UP!!!

  • I don't care for this guy but honestly, would you like to have his job protecting the empty suit in office?

  • "Weve filled your newspapers and many others with uh the back and forth and the details of whats in these bills I dont wanna I dont wanna keep that from continuing to happen."

    Is it just me or is gibbs trying to blackmail or threaten that reporter....

    He's basically saying. "shut up or we'll cut you out of this Q&A session".

  • @richarddbeck

    That was threat if there ever was one. All those reporters are scared shitless to press the important questions because they know they're future time at these question periods will be ZERO. that's the new transparency at work.

  • definitely not a threat.

  • Kawlman.. Maybe you meant "we're definately in a big majority for two years..and we have to push this through before people start lighting torches..

    Gibbs is a tool.

  • Let me interpret: Gibbs: The number one priority Keith, for the President is to fuck the majority of people in this country who oppose the health care bill, we don't want people seeing us giving them the shaft, it makes us look bad! Were only here for 4 years so we got to move fast on this bullshit..... Next question....

  • Oh yeah, I'm only gonna address the letter I haven't seen, but not the campaign promise I heard a dozen damn times! What a weasel.

  • "i'm gonna' put it on cspan..", "i'm gonna' put it on cspan..", "i'm gonna' put it on cspan..", "i'm gonna' put it on cspan.."

  • 4 more times....there's 8 clips of him promising it. LOL

  • bills are supposed to go to a formal joint conference committee to be worked out. and now the white house and the democratic majority are just going to throw republicans out of this whole thing, some of whom are on health committes and fincance committes, etc. and they can, because they have the majority in bothe house and they have the white house. so when republican committemen and women are pushed out of this process how can you ever have transparency in government?

  • Will the health care discussuions be on CSPAN as promised repeatedly by candidate Obama or was he lying?

  • Weasel

  • Whay can't ANY of these people answer just one simple question? Transparency? What a joke! How in the world did this fool get elected? Are The American people this stupid? This guy Gibbs, may be the worst guy I've seen in this position ever!

  • I am so disappointed in both Republicans and Democrats. Neither party gives a hoot about regular Americans. And of course I do nothing about it! I don't know what to do. When someone is elected they immediately transform into all the other politicians.

  • Republicans are powerless! Their opinions and ideas are going unheard because Americans voted in these assholes.

    Libs are running the show and this is what we get.

  • @ottomisso there is a reason anyone under the age of 25 and with an IQ less than 100 should not be alowed to vote

  • People were pissed at Bush and voted this hack into office after McCain ran a listless campaign. I guess they forgot what happens when the libs run the show. We are all getting a reminder.

  • Who did you vote for, because, it was all over the news that Barack Obama was this kind of person?

  • Gibbs is great for this position. He never answers the question and he can do it with a serious face. All the while he is thinking what total idiots the American people are.

  • I love when liberals respond by attacking Fox News and talking about something totally unrelated to the issue at hand. Makes for a great laugh though...where was Kenya mentioned in this clip? Hmm...no where.

  • That sounds like an all out threat. If you keep hounding me about this we will no longer invlude your paper in our briefings and information sharing. We will put you out to patuer with Fox News. Is that what you what , is it pal!! That could be a comback episode for the Sapranos.

  • Press: Mr. Gibbs, are the healthcare discussions going to be on CSPAN as The President promised over and over?

    Gibbs: The President likes apple pie more than pumpkin pie.

    Press: Can you answer the question about CSPAN?

    Gibbs: I just did. Twice. And if you ask again, we're canceling your press credentials and not giving your dying rag any more news feeds.

    Press: Thank you. You're very gracious.

    Gibbs: Next question?

  • Bob Gibbs is BY FAR, the most COMPETENT press secretary we've had in modern times....

    ....

    ....

    ....

    ...he he he

  • I'm sure, if anyone in the country is paying attention, they know by now that, of course, Obama always lies about wanting transparency on anything.

  • Where the Hell is the transparency? How do you get up their and lie like this!

  • aaaaaa duhhhhhhh aaaa aaaa hhaaa n

    aaa duhhhhhh  aaaaaa aaa aa a aahaaa DIP SHIT !!!

  • I wonder what number he was when he crawled out of that clown car that arrived in DC in January of 2009?

  • what a spineless little weasel.what idiot .why does the media ask him questions ???he never gives a straight answer.

    NCC1701zulu .i like what what you said ,short and right on point good job

  • Gibbs is Obamas socialist mouthpeice

  • Gibbs threatens the reporter here. "We filled your newspapers with what's in these bills; I don't wanna' keep that from continuing to happen." In other words, 'You keep asking me these questions, and I'll cut you out of the press-meetings." Gibbs is a piece of shit.

  • Any information that was ever published in the newspaper about healthcare reform has all chnaged with the dirty dealing and secret meetings held on Christmas eve. I think this administration may be starting to realize that we aren't as clueless as they thought. Keep asking tough questions. We need term limits and to clean house-on both sides of the aisle in these next four years. Remind Washington that they work for us-not the other way around!

  • What?! None of you are watching the Healthcare debates on C-SPAN? It's great TV, and now I know exactly what my Senator's stance is on each issue in the bill and the Healthcare lobbyists stances as well. True transparency....thanks Mr. President.  Guess it didn't matter if I voted for Obama or McCain after-all? They each have the same agenda, it's called The NWO.

  • are we learning yet America!

  • this gibbs is a complete asshole loser LIAR, just like the kenyan born muslim usurper , who should be IMPEACHED and DEPORTED./ and gibbs shpould be paraded nude thru the streets so we can throw eggs and shit on his lying flabby ass !!- ASSHOLES!

  • @phonefunk

    What proof do you have that he was born in Kenya? The two Kenya birth certificates you guys presented have been proven to be forgeries. WHat is even more fake is you got a second Kenya birth certificate. If the first one is real why get a send one that is diffrent than the first? Fake IDS High school students use to buy beer look more real. Critize Obama on truth not Fox facts.

  • me too clever to buy a newspaper me watch

    at least 45 min. of see-spam a year.....

  • I'm so sick of this press secretary bullshit. Can't the president take an hour a day to take questions from the press, for god sake? Just 1 hour is all I ask, at least. He can't be so busy that he can't take an hour from the media watchdogs, although most of them ask stupid softball questions, so calling the press the watchdog of the republic is laughable these days.

  • Wtf does Gibbs do all day after he's done with the hour or 2 answering questions from the press? Does he just go home or accompany Obama on meetings or what??

  • Not this president. It would cut into his golf time, party time, vacations living large on the taxpayers' dole time, basketball time, body surfing time, gym time, meeting with Bill Ayers time, meeting with Rev. Wright time, meeting with union gooons time etc

  • Gee, that whole exchange made a lot of sense. Thanks for that enlightening response, Mr. Secretary.

  • I am so tired of these scumbags. WE DON'T WANT YOUR CRAPPY HEALTH CARE BILL AND YOU KNOW IT! Oh, did the president LIE AGAIN?! What a shocker. It should make the news when the bama tells the truth as it is so rare I'm not even sure it happens. The whole lot of them are just a disgrace!

  • This is the most arrogant bullshit I've ever heard as an "official" White House answer to a legitimate question.

  • That's really what it's about. They're limiting access to prevent more details about the final bill from coming out. They know the public is solidly against it, so they don't want to risk any Congress members getting cold feet at the last minute and changing their votes due to pressure from voters.

  • @WreakingHavoc1

    Oh don't I know it! Did you see what the numbers are in the MA special election for Teddy's Senate seat? They should be shaking in their boots over that alone.

  • More of the same from "Baghdad Bobby Gibbs" ah dah ah dah ah dah, what a bunch of idiots on the Obama team!!!!!!

  • LOL "Baghdad Bobby Gibbs"....so true, so true...

    "We are beating them back. There are no Americans in Iraq."

  • I always love to see this clown.

  • the new world order has hijacked our republic..we must stand up and defend freedom and liberty..check out my page to get informed

  • Gibbs like an Obama

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you C-Span.

  • of course Obama will live on. his special interest friends wouldn't have it otherwise.

  • you mean the special interests of logical coherence, inclusion, fairness, and collaboration?

    or did you mean the special interest of me and all other Americans?

    damn right, we won't have it otherwise.

    peace

  • you really think any Presidents of the last few decades have your interests in mind? not even close, brah. I guess it's a cozy feeling, though.

  • The unions got a Nebraska sweetheart deal. Let's see them spin that.

  • Gibbs so bad at this job

  • As transparent as mud.

  • I don't know which is funnier: Your user name or that comment!

  • The White House press asking tough questions!!!

    If there's nothing to hide, the discussions should be open to the public. Unlike the rest of the legislative process around this bill.

  • too bad they weren't asking them about invading Iraq!

  • America should ask what does Congress have to hide by not having an open debate about healthcare.

  • Wooooooo!! He made a threat to the second reporter!! These guys are just thugs!!

  • "He made a threat to the second reporter!"

    I missed it. What was the threat?
