WASHINGTON – The White House says that Republican wins in two governors' races were not referendums on the president.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday that voters went to the polls in Virginia and New Jersey to work through "very local issues that didn't involve the president." The presidential spokesman said voters were concerned about the economy.

"I don't think the president needed an election or an exit poll to come to that conclusion," Gibbs said.

By contrast, Gibbs acknowledged that the 2010 midterm congressional elections will be more about the Obama agenda.

just a flesh wound.. pass me a CuRad.

[RC2]

Oh yeah????? They need to ask the people before making statements like that.

[SlowBoat407]

Wow. I never thought I’d see the day when something “wasn’t” about The Obama in his own eyes.

[SoldierDad]

They’ll need a tourniquet in 2010 - to stop the hemorrhage from their neck.

[NormsRevenge]

Sorry, 'Darth'. It WAS about Obama.

It was so local that is why Obama went into NJ five times for Corzine and sent in his campaign people. Guess Christie’s answer was the 700 lawyers spread about NJ looking for voter fraud.

Law and Order candidates trumped the ZERO! Gotta love it!

[MuttTheHoople]

Barack Hussein Obama...Mmm mmm mmm.

[hsalaw]

Where’s that picture of Baghdad Bob? This is spin worthy of any dictator.

wow.. where was the ‘magic’? lol

[ladyvet]

It's being reported on Fox that Gibbs said the boy-king did not watch the results last night but a special on himself on HBO instead. Anyone else and I would call Gibbs a liar, but I believe he's speaking the truth for once.

[rbbeachkid]

Whatever gets you through the night, Robert.

[lonevoice]

Hey, Gibbs, saying it’s so doesn’t make it so.

Which is precisely why yesterday was such a disaster for them. Dems in congress now know how worthless Obama stumping for them is.

[Petruchio]

Ok. If you say so.

But, I just went to the bathroom and left a BIG Obama in the bowl . . .

[twigs]

That’s right. Everything is about Obama. This tells us just how bad this election is for the WH.

[stevio]

Noooooo. Of course not, go back to sleep.

[EagleUSA]

The Obama agenda got a HUGE SLAP-DOWN last night. And the commies know it. The country, after figuring out what Obama was REALLY about, has just begun to speak. This election result was more about Obama and his socialist thuggery than any other single issue.

OK, just keep Pelosi talking — that will be the final stroke for 2010.

[mainepatsfan]

Heck they could lose 50 house seats next year and they’d still say the same thing.

[blue-duncan]

A mere scratch; just a flesh wound!

"White House: Tuesday's GOP wins not about Obama"

In other words "We are not listening to the voters!"

[frithguild]

BLOODBATH

[jerod]

The Great ‘O’ is never responsible. He was just watching basketball while his good buddy from New Jersey was going down in flames. LOL

Barry may not be getting the message, but moderate and blue dog DemocRats are.

[Dewey Revoltnow]

Have you all seen this video. Unreal. Thanks a lot Pennsylvania. You idiots.

...and if Democrats had won in VA and NJ, THAT would have been a validation of the Obama agenda (a mandate) and Obama had been watching it closely to get a sense of what the people want ...

[RatsDawg]

also the Obama robo-calls.

“White House: Tuesday’s GOP wins not about Obama”

LOL, I can hardly wait for 2010.

What the White House thinks really doen't matter. The facts speak for themselves. It wasn't just a New Jersey and Virginia phenomenon, many local mayoral races, county row offices, judges and state house races swung over to Republicans this time. It was the only avenue voters had to express their opposition to this gang of thugs.

If the White House continues its denial (and I hope they do) and continue on their present path then the next election, in 2010, will be a blood bath for them.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Gibbs has a child? I’m getting a creepy imagine of what he says during intimate moments...uh, Obama....uh, uh, we uh....obama uh

:)

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Oh yeah, and Joe Wilson went to NJ

**once**

to campaign for Cristy

[Eroteme]

the boy-king did not watch the results last night but a special on himself on HBO instead

What, "The Manchurian Candidate" or "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"?

[stevecmd]

So why doesn’t someone in the intrepid WH press corp ask Gibby why Ding Dong went 3 times to NJ and vice Ding Dong went twice.

[webschooner]

Baghdad Gibbs, "No, these election results weren't about Dear Leader, and as we speak, we have Fox News surrounded by troops so that these lies will cease being reported."

[TigerLikesRooster]

So it was about Michelle??? /sarc

[mort56]

Wow. I never thought I’d see the day when something “wasn’t” about The Obama in his own eyes.

Well that's not quite true. His spokesman say he didn't watch the news last night instead he nestled in to watch "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama," a documentary on HBO!

So you see...he actually did spend the day with himself, thinking about himself and loving himself. So take a deep breath and relax. Nothing has changed but the date.

[NMEwithin]

Hahahahaa! Did Rush call this yesterday or what? Gibbs may as well be quoting a transcript from his show yesterday!!

[P-Marlowe]

Apparently Corzine spent over $100 of his own money for every vote he got.

TV and radio ad executives were very pleased. They will have a wonderful Christmas with their commission checks.

[Red_Devil 232]

And the "ONE" was so disinterested he didn't not even watch the returns! According to Gibbs he was watching B-Ball!

What an arrogant idiot he is! He just told the citizens of NJ, Va, NY and the rest of the Nation - your little local elections don't affect me!

[TC Rider]

wow.. where was the ‘magic’? lol

The 'magic' was in Pookies crack pipe, they just couldn't get him off that sofa.

[riri]

f the White House continues its denial (and I hope they do) and continue on their present path then the next election, in 2010, will be a blood bath for them.

That is just it. They have zero good choices right now (from their warped perspective) They can abandon their dreams of destroying the country and moderate.

They can continue full steam ahead

With choice #1 they lose the moonbats with choice #2 they lose just about everyone else.

I love this.

The White House says that Republican wins in two governors' races were not referendums on the president.

I almost wonder what he would've said had those races gone the other way.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday that voters went to the polls in Virginia and New Jersey to work through "very local issues that didn't involve the president." The presidential spokesman said voters were concerned about the economy.

I have to admit it: I don't pay much attention to very local issues on the East Coast. What's this economy deal in Virginia and New Jersey?

At least if the economy in those states is so bad that voters demanded change, it must be good news for the Democrats that the president isn't involved. I'm reminded of those evil Republicans who gave us "it's the economy, stupid."

"It's being reported on Fox that Gibbs said the boy-king did not watch the results last night but a special on himself on HBO instead."

Precisely correct.

Why is Dr. Charles Krauthammer the only Psychiatrist to publicly acknowledge the FACT that Raila Odinga's favorite cousin is a narcissist?

Where are the Republic's other psychiatrists and psychologists to acknowledge the severe mental problems oozing out of this guy?

I see plenty of instances where Raila Odinga's favorite cousin has shown narcissism, pathological lying, flippant attitudes, racist associations, terrorist sympathies and a litany of other disturbing behaviors.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

you, my FRiend, are exactly correct..

That's the day shift. Here's the evening shift.
