Title truncated because it's too long. Real title below.

Jake Tapper Challenges Robert Gibbs "Isn't the Whole Point of being President to 'Man Up' and Make Tough Decisions?" - Video 2/1/10

Here is video of ABC News' Jake Tapper today challenging White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on his constant whining and blaming of Republicans for not supporting the Obama Agenda. After listening to this again from Gibbs, Tapper said:

"But isn't the whole point of being President and controlling the House and Senate to 'man up' and make these tough decisions whether or not it costs you at the ballot box in November?"

Everyone knows that the Democrats could have passed their entire agenda without a single Republican vote for a full year. It is the radical nature of the agenda, having angered the American people, that has kept the Democrats from ramming their full agenda through. Read more...

Well, in this case, wouldn’t it be to “boy up”?

He seems to be about the only one that will challenge Gibbs from the networks. Seems there might be one other but I think Jake more than any others. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

Wasn’t aware that Gibbs is a eunuch.

Note to self.

It’s about time someone said it. Actually I’m glad the progressives are fighting among themselves but I’m tired of hearing how “it’s the Republican’s fault.” and “we inherited it.”. 0Bow-Mao looks pathetic to everyone, friends (Poland) and enemies (Iran) are taking note.

Bet “0” can’t get it up. He has had a good “whoop ASS” over the last few weeks.

Even listening to that idiot Gibbs for 1 minute makes me ill. He’s so transparently lying & if he truly believes that BS he shovels at the press corps, then he has bigger problems than I thought.

And today? We’ve got some skin in the game Jake? How lame was that comment?

He man's up to attack the Republicans or Bush. That makes it ugly. Yes he has lost control, he says no earmarks at all. Nancy Pelosi already has the congress submitting their earmarks. He needs to shut her down.

Right. In order to "man up" first you need a man.

Good point.

Governing by Malibu Nanzis, Nancyboys, metrosexuals and other assorted GLBTs is great when it’s someone else’s money they’re spending.

I agree with Tapper’s assessment. Today, Obama submitted both the biggest budget and the biggest deficit in US history. He then implores everyone to come together and find ways to reduce the deficit. It is as if he has no control over the budget he just submitted. If he were really interested in reducing the deficit, he would have done so. But instead, he passes the responsibility off to others while he continues to destroy America’s future.
