Gibbs: 'This Is the Worst Year of the Presidency' Daniel Halper December 22, 2013 9:33 AM

Robert Gibbs, President Obama's former press secretary, declared 2013 the worst year (so far!) of the Obama presidency:

"This is the test, Robert, of big progressive government solving a big societal problem," said NBC host David Gregory. "That's what he took on. That is the big project of his presidency."

"No doubt about it," Gibbs responded on Meet the Press. "I would say this is the worst year of the presidency. It does beat out 2011. But -- well, and especially given sort of where he started, the fact that the first year of the second term is historically the most productive of the second term."

"This is the test, Robert, of big progressive government solving a big societal problem,"

I think it's pretty safe to say that this test will be failed. And then we have two paths open up:

1) A return to limited government, respect for the Constitution, and rebirth of individual freedom.
2) Full-on government control, open fascism, totalitarian system with no respect for rule of law.

"A time for choosing" as a great man once said.

Gibbs forgot to say ‘so far.’ Unfortunately, he is not able to say it is The Worst, only The Worst To Date.

Worst year for America too — at least in my lifetime.

Fortunately for Democrats, they have no moral principles, so they will busy themselves in 2014 with the task at hand: stealing the fall elections.

Their lapdog media will be right there with them, asking GOP candidates questions about women’s “health issues,” (baby killing and the slut life style), revving up their base of gullible voters one more time. That’s why Obumbles will have that big Alfred E. Newman “What? Me Worry?” grin by spring.

Today is supposed to be the final day to sign up for Obamacare or face a fine. I have just one question based on the performance of their website so far. How will they know?

Put all odumbo’s years together and it is worse than anything this country has experienced since the first civil war. (Note the word “first”) It could get a lot worse.

“THIS IS THE WORST YEAR OF THE PRESIDENCY”

Should be “This is the WORST PRESIDENCY EVER”.

As far as I’m concerned, Obama’s tenure as President should be called “America’s Black Plague.”

If they had told the truth about Obamacare or not fudged the Unemployment numbers or didn’t cover up the masacre in Benghazi, poor Barry would not have had to endure this horrible year.

Sorry Gibbs, but every year that Obama has been President has been pretty crappy!

There are people who are really hurting out here and this administration could care less, except for getting their Marxist agenda rammed down the throats of regular Americans.

Gibbs: 'This Is the Worst Year of the Presidency'

Kenton: This Is the Worst Year of the Presidency so far...

2013 showed us the tip of the iceberg. 2014 shows a lot of potential for exposing the rest of the iceberg, with the House, and possibly the Senate, poised to drive Obama back into the sea.

I’m starting to think the Gibbs is a shill for the Klintons getting ready for 2016.

Gibbs is just trying to get a Television gig, so he’s saying things that will get him hired.
