It’s a laugh riot, isn’t it? Actually, they might be laughing more at Gibbs’s feeble way of ducking the question than The One’s looming broken promise, but in Gibbs’s defense, what’s he supposed to say? Obama pounded McCain for wanting to pay for health care by taxing benefits, rode into D.C. promising Change, and now he’s going to eat a crap sandwich by reversing himself because it turns out personal charisma doesn’t work on hard economic numbers. So Axelrod and company have to go out and face the firing squad and “explain” via stuttering half-answers why Barry O lied about this last year. It’s a political microcosm of Obama’s economic M.O.: They borrowed political capital by pledging “no new taxes” to win the election and now down the road the bill’s finally come due.
Elsewhere today, Gibbs declared that it’s okay to start judging the success of the stimulus. Over to you, Innocent Bystanders!

That qualification excludes all of the left and most of the press
At him or with him?
Outrageous statements by Gibbs....would love to see this added to the freerepublic videos
Outstanding post ping award...
Great thread!
wake up America, more to come
I know better than to get encouraged, but when I saw that exchange earlier today, I could feel shivers of hope going up my leg. The I noticed my dog relived himself on my doggone leg.
That qualification excludes all of the left and most of the press .
It's getting bad when the propaganda arm of the administration starts feeling like they're being exposed as the dishonest tools they've been willing to be as long as they could do it with the facade of dignity.
They're willing fools, but they want to be able to pretend they're something more than that.
Shockingly this was at him
“I can make a firm pledge,” he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”
He repeatedly vowed “you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.”
Don’t think of it as a “lie,” think of the statement as “inoperative.” Before this guy is done he’s going to be dancing like Tricky Dick.
They are laughing in admiration as to how clever the Obamas are.
Obama Lies
Taxes Rise
0bama is everything he said he was, and more.
WHO is watching the Czars while we’re laughing at Gibbs?
Neither. They laugh on command.
They laugh and clap like the paid audience in infomercials. Or like the sycophants they are.
And the charade continues. When will we say”Enough”?!
