Reporters Grill Gibbs Over Prepackaged Questions for Obama

"The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and have controlled..." veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas said Wednesday.

Gibbs is a good little communist slave for Obama.

@miankd. its not sensible. If you are not taking the questions as they are and just selecting ones YOU want to answer then they are controlling the type of information THEY want to talk about. Instead of the public deciding what is important the White House is deciding it which totally defeats the purpose.

It would be like me looking at a quiz and selecting which ones i would like to answer and calling it a pop quiz. if Bush did this you and the rest of the Media would be shitting themselves.

Gibbs was a very unprofessional presidential propagandists. The current P.S. is more professional and does a better job covering the criminality of our president.

Gibbs is such an idiot.

LOL!

I'm prone for typos when I do rapid fire responses on youtube.

I guess you know you have the higher ground when the pincer movement of one's words is met with quivering counter attack on one's typos.

I'll take it you don't wish to discuss Israel anymore, so I'll leave you and your dictionary to it. Forgive me, but I grow weary of discussing my forgetfulness of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Remember, grammar is more about guidelines than commandments.

Later.

No need to utter apologies, brother, it's chill; lets get back on point.

I haven't seen a resposte for my statement 2 statements back, lets get the gloves back on.

"Do native English speakers say 'Creed of human' " Not any that I have befriended.

But that's the beauty of words and sentences: we all craft them in a different way. Nobody writes exactly like the next person because everyone is different.

And, also, lets remember the purpose of words, to express ideas. I look at the rules of grammar more like guidelines than Commandments. And as should you, especially since this is a youtube video, as opposed to a midterm paper.
