‘This White House Has No Humility’

When candidate Obama talked about bringing us all together, this is presumably not what he had in mind . . .
There was surprising consensus on todays Morning Joe around the fact that this is an arrogant White House. It was press secretary Robert Gibbs boastresponding to Pres. Bushs rather mild remarksthat we kept score last November and we won that set things off. Willie Geist analogized it to an athlete whose team is ahead telling an opponent to look at the scoreboard.
Pat Buchanan took it from there, with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and even John Harwood, not known as a blood enemy of the Obama admin, chipping in.

...this is an arrogant White HouseIn my experience, pride definitely "goeth before the fall" and it is just a matter of time before Barky and his pack of mutts get theirs.

Humility would be a start but it really needs common sense and to get rid of the yes men.

...we won... They keep focusing on that because it is the only REAL message they have.
I'll state this one more time and then I'll try to think up a new and original "line" for future posts: We currently have the dis-functional equivalent of a Junior High School Student Council in charge of the executive branch of our government.

I think the Obamessiah should stand by this particular "yes man" to the bitter end. He is a HOOT!
As press secretaries go, I can't think of anyone (other than Joe Biden) who could make the Obama administration look MORE inept, foolish, petty and incompetent on a daily basis than this guy Gibbs.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together.
Based on the exchange of Obama and Gibbs at the Big Fly Hunt at the White House they appear to be made for each other.
And this is the “best” America has to offer?

gibbs could be a houseplant or a hamster and the compliant media would still go easy on him. And since ABC will now be sharing office space with this admin, the coverage should be even more “baghdad bob” ish.

Why not thumb your nose too, Gibbs? Maybe give Pres Bush a big, fat raspberry?

I agree with you.
This guy makes the administration look like a bunch of pompous, inept jerks.
Gibbs comes in totally unprepared at every press conference. Very high school.
I would like to feel sorry for him, but when he totally blows it and then gives that smug smile of his as though he knows what he’s talking about when he knows he doesn’t — I just see him as a reflection of this teleprompter-in-chief boss. Clueless.
WHEN WILL THE MSM START TO CATCH ON?

Actually, “The White House” is a building.
0bama and his administration are the people who are corrupt and lack humility.

No honor integrity or even conscious.
The US Government is utterly corrupted with the presence of Democrats.
Question is, once we get power back, will it be will people with the BALLS to fire all the toads this administration is hiring and slash every government office either out of existence, or back to bare minimum size authority and power?
How do we go about undoing everything these bastards are doing?
