CBS' Chip Reid and Helen Thomas double teamed Robert Gibbs today at the daily press briefing on the "tightly controlled" town hall meeting President Obama will hold on health care. Gibbs kept saying lets have this discussion AFTER the meeting. Helen Thomas accused the White House of "controlling the press." She said almost all White House/Obama events are "prepackaged." She accused the White House of not "having any answers."

Crock Omama’s press guy, Gibbs is a weasel and treats the questioning press like they are out of line kids. Even Helen Thomas, who is no friend of conservatives, makes the point that prior presidents never went to the length Omama does in staging information (lies and more lies) on his plans and proposals.
Too bad most of the press sat there like servants of the messiah and didn’t speak up.
She’s rusty. She’s crusty. She’s dusty. She’s musty. She’s gutsy.
Damn.
Helen blasted the administration.
Global cooling must have extended to hell.
Amazing (in a multi-faceted sort of way). Fasten your seat belts friends and neighbors. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
Eh, just a show. They couldn’t care less.
They’ll be back to worshipping Hussein tomorrow.
Maybe these reporters are seeing the drop in BamBam’s polls and are realizing that even their readers are fed up with the love fests that pass as town hall meetings with this administration. On a side note, Gibbs looks and acts more and more like Peter Griffin at each press conference.
Never cared much for that gas bag, but Helen looks ill. Prayers she is ok.
I said when it happened that there’d be hell to pay for 0bama cutting her off the other day and then not going back to her. That’s exactly why she’d doing this.
Pity the zookeeper ... imagine spending your working life tending the Helen Tortoise cage.
Looks like the natives are getting restless....
oh no! Has Helens liberal, administrative, lap dog software been corrupted? LOL.

Must have been too many times through the WH security checkpoint. LOL!
A gold star to Helen and Chip
Gibbs just thinks he can laugh away the hard questions...no one was much amused.
Good for Helen.
Anyone watching this wondrful Town Hall meeting?
Gibbs laughs and BO gives the “evil eye” when they don’t like the questions
I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see the video.
Helen called them out.
Even Helen isn’t totally stupid.
You can have mine.
I'm not using it any more.
:-)
They really went after him! Gibbs speaks for the whole administration through his unbelievable arrogance.
Well, credit where credit is due. Kudos to the both of them for REALLY putting the heat on. ‘Family Guy’s’ face just got redder and redder.
