Gibbs: 'Stimulus plan is working' despite job losses By Sam Youngman Posted: 07/02/09 02:24 PM [ET]
Despite losing almost a half-million jobs in June, the economy is showing signs or recovery, the White House said Thursday.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the president joins the American people in being "impatient for results" as Republicans are howling that Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan has done nothing to halt job losses.
"There's a sense that beginnings of stabilization are taking hold, and hopefully the worst job loss is behind us," Gibbs said, adding the president was "deeply disappointed by the continued job loss" as the national unemployment rate moved up to 9.5 percent.
Gibbs said he "absolutely" believes that number is "definitely headed to 10 percent."
"It may not be next month, but I would assume in the next two to three months I think it's quite clear that we'll hit that number," Gibbs said.

And Gibbs added, after the press conference I will be selling oceanside properties in Arizona.
My sentiments exactly.
Double no comment
Sorry, I must be going deaf. - I didn't hear any howling yet...
Gibbs: ‘Stimulus plan is working’
But it is 4 government - everyday is Christmas in the beltway all of this economy job loses have been borne by private industry.
Government is doing just fine and expanding like crazy. Look at all the taxpayer paid travels our representatives are doing traveling the world and enjoying their vacation.
Its all good.
Gibbs: ‘Stimulus plan is working’ despite job losses
Translation to English: ‘Stimulus plan is utterly destoying the US economy, creating massive job losses’
Idiot.
What an a$$hole!
Ahhhhh .... nuanced. It could actually be working if your unspoken is radically different than the reasons you told the public.
“There’s a sense that beginnings of stabilization are taking hold, and hopefully the worst job loss is behind us,”
Wishful thinking in other words. Sorry, my bad, let me correct that: wishful thinking that is contradicted by what actual evidence exists.
4:00 is too early for a beer.
What a dolt. He really is a class-A doofus.
Obama’s answer to Bagdad Bob?
"The stimulus plan is working."
I suppose that Gibbs is selling a bridge too ...
Gibbs is going to just keep saying the same thing, week after week and month after month, as the stimulus plan continues to fail.
“Gibbs said, adding the president was “deeply disappointed..”
Is anyone else getting sick of this canned response to everything?
Can we move on from ‘deeply disappointed’ and maybe get a thesaurus for the ‘smartest man to ever hold the office’?
(eye roll)
>> Idiot
My guess is Gibbs was rammed head-first into a lot of high school lockers, and repeatedly hit really hard in the head and face in a lot of jr. high school dodgeball games. It’s affected the lad. All those “wedgies” took their toll on his nuts as well.
