Here is video of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs getting irritated with ABC News Reporter Jake Tapper. Tapper was pressing Gibbs on making documents available on whether Obama nominees have paid taxes. Gibbs was flippant with Tapper and eventually completely ignored a second question asked by Tapper.

It's still early, but it seems to me that Robert Gibbs is a total bust as Press Secretary. He is very poor at the give and take with the press corps on camera. He made a fool of himself today, and showed himself to be as thin-skinned as the President he serves. . . . . (Watch Video)

Did Obama stock his administration with Clintonistas because he only knows amateurs like himself?

[Army Air Corps]

A thin-skinned bunch, aren’t they?

[freeplancer]

Tax cheats and Clinton retreads.

[woweeitsme]

Go Jake! It’s about time someone started to ask serious questions about this man and the people around him.

Jake actually seems like...wait for it...a JOURNALIST!

[Gumdrop]

He’s about as good as Scott McClellan.

luvit, Luvit, LUVIT!!!

A thin-skinned bunch, aren’t they?

No, just plain incompetent - most of them, with the dear dufus leader. If journalists always acted as they supposed to, this administration would never ever have materialized.

As the “smartest press secretary in the history of the world”, this joker Gibbs is pretty dumb. IMHO.

[Mountain Mary]

He reminds me of a Wally Cox type with a white bandaid holding his glasses together on the bridge of his nose. In reality: mild mannered? Not a chance.

I honestly think they all thought they were going to skate through these pressers.
The first time I heard him I gave him about two months tops.

[Snickering Hound]

He’s a sweaty disaster.

Robert Gibbs comes off as a real dee bag.

[NonValueAdded]

Gibbs has an impossible job. He’ll be rubber room material by April.

[stockstrader]

Wow, a Press Secretary that actually makes Scott McClellen look good!!..LOL

And you can bet that's the last Press Conference Tapper will be invited to--or that last time he gets to ask a question!

[celtic gal]

It has been said that 0bama has picked the “journalists” that he will allow to ask questions..no one else.So I wonder what makes this bunch show up at all.

[politicalmerc]

For such a “brilliant guy” Obama and his staff seem to be politically tone deaf.

Yes, I can barely watch him. You know who I miss is the monotone spokeswoman for H.W. Bush’s Dept. of State - Tutweiler I think. Watching her stone sober, straight faced answers and hearing her monotone voice must have driven the Johnny Deadlines crazy!
