A White House spokesman dismissed polling that shows President Barack Obama's approval rating at a new low.

A Gallup poll released Monday showed Obama’s overall approval rating dropped to 47 percent -- the lowest during his presidency.

On Tuesday morning White House press secretary Robert Gibbs compared the poll to a child's art work.

Gibbs was specifically referring to the trend line, which shows Obama's approval ratings declining. Gibbs noted "a six year-old with a crayon could do something a lot like that."

Gibbs is a blithering idiot. His smarmy and condescending dismissal of the Gallup poll, calling it crayon artwork, is beneath the dignity of the Office of President.

Or did he really say this?

Politico reports it as well.

POLLS MEAN NOTHING...NOTHING SERIOUS...JUST A FLESH WOUND!

He is perfect for “our side”, though.

And to think, we taxpayers are paying this man to make such bizarre and stupid comments in the name of the Oval Office.

I had to laugh when I saw this picture..This goof ball is funny looking anyway now he really looks like a goofball..Also Gibbs never watches the real news or listens to the American people he listens to the commie news and if he doesn’t like that he turns on BBC..the Muslim news channel..

They don’t care for he has been “granted dominion over the earth”.

And there’s Bush standing there thinking “Hee, hee, hee. I helped him get elected. Hee, hee, hee.”

Polls don't matter.

He Won!

He is redistributing as fast as he can and once redistributed it is gone forever. The suckers who lost the money are screwed.

There is no retribution, the robbery is over and done

For one bright shining moment, we had Tony Snow. How I miss him.

And a six-year-old child with a crayon would be a better president.
