Does the White House Press Secretary need a teleprompter too?

Watch as Robert Gibbs sets a new Obama Administration record (and that’s saying something) for the most “uh”s and “um”s in a single sentence as he struggles to find the right spin to explain why Treasury Secretary knew all about the AIG bonuses a week before telling us this week that he was just as surprised as the rest of us (full story with video at Hot Air)….

He says, “Chip, go out and buy a paper”. Knowing full well the paper proves the WH was misleading or lying. He can’t bring himself to tell the truth himself.

He’s trying to make Obama look good. Obama says “uh” 5 times in a row, so Gibbs says it 6 times.

Gibbs is a train wreck, but I hope he stays for entertainment purposes. If he was the best of the lot, I shudder to think of what the audition process looked like.

I agree that he sucks as a press secretary. However, it has to be very difficult to continuously lie for Obama.

When the first lie is told all of the other lies have to fall in line. One of the biggest problems with lying is that it takes a really good memory. Trying to maych up all of the Obama lies is near-about impossible.

Police in Conn. chase outbreak of cockfighting
Boston Globe, March 16, 2009 By Keith O'Brien
FR Posted Monday, March 16, 2009 by GQuagmire
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com.......

WATERBURY, Conn. - From a rundown garage near an abandoned factory in the south end of town comes the sound of squawking resonating in the night. It's an odd noise....But police in Waterbury knew exactly what they were dealing with. It was another cockfight............

-------------------------------------------------

Hearing the news, Rahm Emanuel sprang into action. Rahm instructed Gibbs to send a memo to Barney Frank: "Uh, stay home, Barney. Uh, this is not what you think it is."

Unfortunately, it came too late. Barney had already left a message for Chris Dodd ......saying that he could not wait to see Dodd's (cough) package.

Yes, it has to be a very difficult job, both lying for Premier 0, keeping track of the continual lies, flip-flops and contradictions, while answering to reporters who are beginning to come to grips with the sham being perpetrated on us.

That is VERY funny!

The teleprompter is taking on a life of its own!

This is a video of someone who is clearly uncomfortable with answering the question.

His only answer is “read the report”. Then he ridicules the reporter by saying, “Do I have to go get you the report?” As if the reporter has the problem. This was certainly not an open or friendly press meeting. Looks like the press is getting kicked to the curb on this one.
