Is it time for Gibbs to move on?
Washington Post ^ | 8/11/10 | Scott Wilson

The truth hurts.

This may be something for the White House to consider as midterm fatigue sets in and personnel starts to churn. Are White House press secretary Robert Gibbs' recent bouts of truth-telling a sign he should move on?

For months, speculation has abounded that Gibbs will eventually move from his current post to become a less-visible senior adviser to President Obama.

He already essentially plays that role, sitting in on virtually every major meeting regardless of subject matter and receiving rare bureaucratic carte blanche within a disciplined West Wing to jump from policy lane to lane. After seven years with Obama, Gibbs is also one of the president's longest-serving advisers.

Chief Propaganda Minister Gibbs is a paid apologist for the an individual that many believe to be the AntiCHRIST. ANY career move is a step up.

It’s been time for Beltway Bob to move on since November 30, 2008.

I would have said November 5th, but I think we have to give him a chance to prove how incompetent he is.

We did.

And, he is!

Gibbs is doing great for Republican chances in Nov. Only one who I think would be better would be Anthony Weiner.

Amazing. The Washington Post is actually openly admitting that they think it’s a problem that the press secretary is overly truthful. They are probably troubled by the fact that too much truthfulness might hinder the Obama agenda. Of course, this way of thinking from the WAPO is only applicable when a Democrat is in the Oval Office. When a Republican is President, they cry bloody murder over even the slightest hint of any embellishment of the truth.

Leave him right where he is. It is “entertaining” (beneficial to conservatives) to watch the democraps fight amongst themselves.

I second that. And no one exudes incompetence like Gibbs. We need him to continue on as the chief spokesperson for the Obama Administration.

imho, he does as well as can be done in his situation. B. Hussein Obama’s far out acts and incompetence are difficult to spin.

That is damning with faint praise.
