White House press secretary Robert Gibbs conceded Wednesday that the Obama administration has made some missteps while promoting its healthcare overhaul, but warned doubters that the legislative debate is far from over.
"I don't think anybody here believes we've pitched a no-hit game, or a perfect game," said Gibbs, who was bombarded again with questions about whether President Barack Obama will attempt to strip a public insurance option from the final bill or move the overhaul without Republican votes.
"I think we just have to continue to be out there," he said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Sunday said a public option was not essential to reform. Since then, liberal Democrats have let Sebelius know they disagree and have sought assurances that the public option will be kept in the final legislation.
Gibbs said reports about whether the White House would cave on a public option are being "contrived almost entirely" by the media, but admitted the administrations messaging has not been perfect, either. But there's time to recover, he noted.

when they start using words like “misstep” and “misspoke,” you really have to hold on to your wallet.
Misteps? Is that a sick joke or insanity? Everything these traitors touch is disaster for our country and our freedom. By design; count on it.
“White House admits missteps on healthcare”
Trying to convince the majority of the people to give up insurance they are happy with so that every person living within our borders, legal citizen or not can have equally crappy care is not working?
Wow, who woulda thunk it?
Let me guess, there was a billion dollar federal study that came to this conclusion, right?
“But it’s in the hands of this enormous bureaucracy and regulatory agency,” he added. “If they don’t get out of their own way, this program is going to be a huge failure.”

They can’t even handle cash for clunkers.
Someone please post the “captain obivious” picture in honor of gibbs
I cannot believe they are BLAMING THE MEDIA again...
It is becaue they are already politically in deep doggie doo doo and if they can’t outright say they don’t know wtf they are doing.
Even Ed on the ED SHOW told off 0bama’s rep and said it is such a mess 0bama needs to do an address from the oval office and tell everyone what he wants and exactly what is in the health care bill line for line. <-———YEAH RIGHT!
It is getting really bad....
But it is mostly the media’s fault...
add this to my last post < sarcasm >
"DUH! Is this a trick question from one of those viscious townhall MOMSTERS?"
Aaaannnnddd....the piling-on begins.
Why don’t they come right and say it. They lied and are still lying.
Okay... now this is REALLY getting out of hand.
Dem lawmaker accuses Grassley of ‘treason’

EXFREAKINGACTLY!
"My message is all about "reason." We haf ways to deal with people who do not listen to reason."
CITIZEN ALERT Obama/Rahm are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest. This would give these America haters an excuse to declare Martial Law and a complete suspension of your civil rights.
And if vigilant Americans tell Obama to stuff his odious ObamaCare, there's the plan DHS with a complete suspension of civil rights.
Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson reports: "We now know for a fact that FEMA overseer, DHS, was monitoring political speech and thought------and groups and individuals who oppose abortion, immigration, gun-control." Wilson concluded: "DHS' response to our FOIA request unfortunately confirms in no uncertain terms that their hunt for 'rightwing extremists' was nothing more than a witch hunt."
"Not a single study or report was from any government source...there was no evidence of any actual active recruitment of 'disgruntled veterans'...no evidence showing that folks who purchase guns or oppose gun-control legislation are necessarily dangerous..."
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano falsely maintained that they were on the lookout for "criminal and terrorist activity" but did not monitor ideology or political beliefs."
======================================
COMMENTS "Monitoring," my Aunt Tilly--- the government was conducting surveillance on Americans and intended to use the power of gov't to restrict Americans' Constitional freedoms.....and Obama okayed this atrocity against Americans....................the intended consequences of that trillion dollar TARP, nationalizing banks and auto industries and passing themselves that stimuli campaign slush fund. And they call conservatives Nazis and racists.
With what they've already accomplished no wonder BamaCare was mass production for the Obama/Rham/Zeke "magic end of life pill."
