Robert Gibbs: Town Hall Protesters Nothing But "Good TV"

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs appears on "Face The Nation" and talks to substitute host Harry Smith about what he thinks about people at town halls other than President Obama's that express anger and opposition against his boss' health care reform plan.

"I think most of what you're seeing on TV - no offense - is good TV, and that's about it," he says. "One of the reasons the President's out there... is to try to address the misinformation that's out there about health insurance reform."

Anyone remember Baghdad Bob? He was Husseins buffoon counterpart, to B. Hussein Obama's equally buffoon PR tool. Remember Bob standing there in front of the TV cameras denying that coalition troops had entered the city during the first couple of days of the Iraq war, and you could see US troop carriers rolling past in the background a couple of blocks away?

Gibbs standing their with a straight face denying the obvious - that the majority has spoken against Obamacare - is pathetic.

This guy is a total tool, Obama needs to pick a Press secretary that the Public can believe, his belittling of the facts, and looking down on the public and press just portrays him as an elitist liberal. Look at the polls from the right, left , and center sources - they all show Obama losing ground with the Independents and obviously the right, who will be left to support his policies? I can't wait for mid term elections! When we get some middle conservative thinkers back in office.

Do NOT associate with those given to Change! The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding, Acknowledge Him in every way, And He shall direct your paths. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! - Pray this - Jesus Lord of Nazareth, please come into my heart and take control of my life so that I may live my life through you. - Mercy is at the heart of the commandments
