ABC News' Jake Tapper Nails Obama Press Secretary on Caterpillar Contradiction - Video 2/13/09

Here is video of ABC News' Jake Tapper nailing White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to the wall today on President Obama's statement yesterday, directly contradicted by Caterpillar's CEO, that passage of the Stimulus Plan would lead Caterpillar to rehire laid off workers.

He also asked Gibbs what it says about Obama that no Caterpillar workers lobbied Rep. Aaron Schock to vote for the Stimulus Bill despite Obama putting him on the spot yesterday to do so in front of the workers.

In both cases, Gibbs refused to really address the questions.

Jake Tapper is showing himself to be a fair guy. He is not backing off of pressing the White House on important questions. . . . . . . . (Watch Video)

I watched Gibbs the other morning for the first time. He is a total incompetent. It is scary to think that Obama would put up with such an incompent press secretary. Says a lot about Obama. But then after the last three weeks I have to say that never in my 65 years have I seen such a poor start to a new presidency.

If Gibbs did not work for a man who was intent on ruining the country and turning us into just another Socialist failure, I would almost feel sorry for him.

But he works in the service of evil, so any suffering he must endure is all to the good, and I revel in it.
