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."

Hey Gibbs, you stupid potato-faced drone - you need to get lawyered up and do a 100 page affidavit setting forth all of Bath House Barry’s high crimes and misdemeanors of which you have personal knowledge and evidence - and post it on the internet. Oh, I forgot, that would require the heart and courage of a patriot, and you’re no patriot, are you, Potato Face?

Does anyone think that mac daddy cares what people think about him?

His views himself so important and without any need to explain anything he does or says as meaningless to himself. His own self importance and giant ego places him way above anyone else. He views himself as not able to be wrong about anything and he feels that if people are getting close to dispelling that belief he sics his willing mindless sock puppets on them.

Some dat he will meet someone who will expose him for what he really is, a lying ego driven hack whos only aim is himself.

“You don’t say! “

Don’t get too excited. Gibbs hasn’t experienced an epiphany. He’s a Clinton’ista and is just out front doing some prep work for Hillary. Expect many who previously aligned with Obama to start separating themselves from him and start aligning with her.

I know a great many folks whose insurance has been cancelled in light of ObastardCare. They have decided to not get insurance, declare as many exemptions as they can on their W-4 form and let them try to collect the fine.

At some point when the “uncollected fines” reaches a high enough figure the democRATS will propose legislation that will allow the IRS to seize your bank accounts to collect those unpaid “fines”. I expect that to be in the next 12 - 18 months.

When I look at this presidency, the Dems, the GOP, the number of people that voted for Obama and the probability of amnesty, I don’t think we are coming back anytime soon.

Yes. And the spineless Republican ‘leaders’ will stand by and watch as the Dems lie, cheat and steal to continue the destruction of this once great country. There has not been ONE close election that the Dems haven’t manipulated into their column. Hugh Hewitt said it best ‘If it’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat’.

And let's hope that 2014, 2015, and 2016 will show the Obamanistas that they ain't seen nuttin', yet!

But, well, especially given sort of how he used to be Zero's press secretary, no wonder the TOTUS didn't help that much. Thanks Sub-Driver.

It's a 'big project' to kill all first born males too... "Big" is not the issue... Gregory's an idiot.

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

I think you'll be able to say that again and again.

We're just now getting started on "worst" and you ain't seen nothin' yet!

The obama presidency is Jimmy Carter's answered prayer. Thanks to obama, Jimmy C. is no longer the worst president ever.

By the time we get to 2016, well...IF we get to 2016, by then obama will own the record book for worst.

"big progressive government solving a big societal problem"

I guess they've decided that it's a "problem" that our society doesn't accept all-encompassing socialism.

I bet that there is one person thrilled with the fact that Obama has the worst rating among the Presidents.

That person would be Jimmy Carter.He’s probably jumping with joy.

Maybe a bad year for Barry but the past 5 years have all been bad years for Americans. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights have been destroyed by a bunch of bottom feeding, Marxist college kids of very little intelligence.

No, this is the worst presidency in the history of this country.

And the worse congress, and the worst judicial branch, and the worst regulatory agencies...

The beast needs to go.
