I like Jake’s choice of wording around that “Man Up” bit too. The Democrats own all of Congress and the White House and they continue to use George Bush and the Republicans as the reasons things aren’t getting “better.”

Let the Democrats do the unpopular things, as Jake said, and be willing to show the world your real colors so that your party gets voted out in the Fall.

That’s my takeaway.

I’m really surprised ABC has kept him on.

“You mean “ person up”, Mr. Tapper. Take your unenlightened, Neanderthal ass and get out of here.”

... irked Robert Gibbs when he questioned whether the president is going to 'man up' ...

That reaction dates back to Gibbs junior high school days, because "man up!" was what he heard right before being stuffed in his locker -- or getting creamed (again!) with the ol' dodgeball...

Junior High was a long, painful six years for ol' Gibbsy and he's never quite gotten over it.

It is frikken amazing to me that because the Republicans don't roll over and accept the destructive programs of the Dim's, they are identified as the problem...the obstruction.

It ought to be clear to everyone that the American voters don't want what Obama is selling!

Surely they don’t expect the guy who voted mostly ‘present’ to make tough decisions.

Look at Gibbs’ education and then see why he NEVER “maned up” : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gibbs

Man Up: this is what Rush said to Obummer last week in his open letter to the President. As usual Rush was there first.

Rush letter to President Obama

RUSH: I penned a message to Obama that I would like to deliver now. Because Mr. Obama, I think it's time we had a heart-to-heart talk. Let me be the father that you never had or never really knew, because I think you need some guidance. It's time to man up. It's time to grow up. That speech last night was an embarrassment. You couldn't focus, you lashed out in all directions, you refused to accept responsibility for your own actions, and you were angry.

LOL. But this raises a serious question: Is it possible for a man-child to man up?

You couldn't focus, you lashed out in all directions, you refused to accept responsibility for your own actions, and you were angry.

And nothing's changed since the SOTU, as O proved at the prayer breakfast. It seems the entire strategy, Gibbs included, is to whine and cry that he's being treated unfairly. Every other president in recent history has lived under a microscope, and had their beliefs, policies and motivations publicly discussed, dissected and analyzed, but somehow it's unfair to even question any of those in Obama.

I hope the Dem Congress critters running for re-election also adopt that tactic -- it's definitely a winner, especially among those who've lost their savings, their jobs, and their houses. /sarc

Exactly. Some of them may do just that as their egos are almost as big as Obumblers.

I've been reading a little about classic narcissism. Hussein portrays all the symptoms. I believe he is more controlled by his insane narcissism than his insane ideology. This could turn out very bad for whoever decides to stay loyal to The One. This type of critter usually ends up turning against his followers. It allows continue avoiding personal responsibility.
