Robert Gibbs Takes Media to Task Over Health-Care

Robert Gibbs criticizes the White House press corps for only reporting on the "he-said, she-said" of the health-care debate, and not investigating whether claims are true. We bet they didn't like that too much.

If Gibbs were the spokesman for a private company he would have been fired a long time ago. He's awful. He's unfriendly, condescending, smug and arrogant as he squirms like a slug in front of that podium.

In fact I can't think of one member of the Obama administration who would make a success of themselves in the purely private sector. They're political entrepreneurs and nothing more.

Now Obama is lending $2billion we don't have to a Brazilian company to drill for oil? Is this guy INSANE?

The media hasn't shown much of the town hall meetings which were civil.

But they always like to report the "wreck" - no matter what they are covering.

@Swishdball can you name a single one of his press conferences that he answered every single question correctly (or at all)?

Robert Gibbs is a great man and has more knowledge in his left nut than all the GOPers put together. Fuck off GOP

2 words we should never hear from this little homo....

"I think....."

We couldn't give a shit....tell them what the president says...that's the job dumbass...

The next thing....he should never say because it's never going to be true:

"Let's be honest....."

Why didn't anyone ask, when there was over a million people marching on washington why obama went to minnesota to speak in front of 3000 constituents and answer screened questions about his health care plan....?

Wonder if he got the hint on 9/11 in Washington,I doubt it as axlerod said the 1.7 million people were wrong.

Most businesses that run that way don't survive that long.

I agree with with the Nafta elimination and the stopping of tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas.

However, spending money to get out of debt is how most businesses do get out of debt. A business usually gets into debt because they can no longer compete in a market. They usually borrow and spend a great deal of money to retool their factories and retrain their workers. This increases their debt for a time, but it also increases their ability to compete and eliminate their debt.

LOL at the outrage only because Obama won the election.

Look around you. We're fighting two wars (he promised to end), we bailed out banks and CEOS for trillions of dollars, the jobless rate is nearing 10%, and people are losing their homes.

See Democrats want to make it all about Obama getting elected, but the truth is people are angry for a variety of reasons.

This has more to do with the People losing faith in our goverment to do anything right, including healthcare "reform"
