Gibbs Takes Off Gloves to Challenge Reporters, Hosts Who Cross Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has singled out media personalities Jim Cramer, Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santelli in the course of less than two weeks.

Jim Cramer. Rush Limbaugh. Rick Santelli.

What do they all have in common? Most likely, none of them is getting invited to the White House Christmas party.

All three media personalities have been singled out by President Obama's press shop in the course of less than two weeks. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, in doing so, has shown an unusual willingness to spar with cable and radio hosts who take shots at his boss.

The rebuttals have ranged from playful ribbing to disdainful scolding.

Talk show host Limbaugh has drawn the most ire from the White House. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called him out on Sunday for saying he wants Obama to fail, after Obama told Republican lawmakers not to listen to people like Limbaugh several weeks ago.

Gibbs followed up Monday, calling on conservative pundits to challenge Limbaugh on air.

Can anyone imagine Tony Snow stooping so low?

Or Dana Perino?

But of course, this thuggery arrives directly from Chicago.

No one is surprised.

Gibbs sounds more like the little Iranian runt Ahmadinnerjacket with his incessant complaints and demands for ‘apologies’ and all of that noise.

Gibbs (like his Boss) is just a thin skinned little prick.

How appropriate that a President who is out of his depth woud hire a White House Press Secretary who is out of his depth.

I would think that the press would realize that these attacks against private citizens are also an attack on the First Amendment.

Oh that’s right, their leftists, they only believe in freedom for themselves and not the rest of us. How could I have forgotten?

I also see it as an impromptu signal to the minions to press on and step up the attacks on those who may dare to be in opposition.

Obama and his people are extremely thin skinned. Noted by the press for future reference.

There is something about Gibbs that doesn't seem quite right. I mean really off. Obama is a true conman and bs artist, but Gibbs is creepy, very creepy, scary creepy.
