Robert Gibbs, under fire for his attack on the "professional left," sends over a statement walking it back, conceding it was "inartful," and clarifying that the views he expressed frustration about are not widely held:
I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout -- but I know that's not a view held by many, nor were the views I was frustrated about.
So what I may have said inartfully, let me say this way -- since coming to office in January 2009, this White House and Congress have worked tirelessly to put our country back on the right path. Most importantly, to dig our way out of a huge recession and build an economy that makes America more competitive and our middle class more secure. Some are frustrated that the change we want hasn't come fast enough for many Americans. That we all understand.

“Inartful” statement:

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”
The press secretary dismissed the “professional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”
Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”
You have offended each and every dillweed world-wide.
The last one we got was "mis-spoke"; I'll bet all your kids are using that one!!!
Mom: "Johnny, you lied to me; you said you made your bed and brushed your teeth....and you've done neither!!"
Little Johnny: "But Mom, it's all ok....I just mis-spoke!"
“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

Whatever Gibbs said, liberals still like Obama
See post #4 for back story.
More whining from Obama’s White House. Gotta LOL at their incompetence.
With the car tumbling madly into the ditch, this administration isn't in the driver's seat, they're in the back seat of this economic recovery.

What is the ‘professional’ left, exactly? Are you paid for being, ‘left’? A Journ-0-lista?
