It’s come to this: August wasn’t a setback for us at all, says Gibbs

In which Beltway Bob channels Baghdad Bob. Despite a month of near-daily “Obama’s approval rating at new low” headlines and deteriorating numbers for ObamaCare itself, the spin oozes unceasingly forth, with Gibbs mindlessly asserting that the left is closer than ever to fulfilling its dream of the boondoggle to end all boondoggles. Er, closer than they were last month? Wasn’t the whole point of trying to ram a bill through Congress before the recess to avoid precisely the sort of inevitable grassroots backlash that stirred in August? I realize it’s Gibbs’s job to lie for his boss, but providing comic fodder for righty blogs with transparent garbage like this can’t be helping much.

At another point during the briefing, Tapper asked him what the big deal is about tomorrow night’s speech given that Obama’s been recycling the same rote talking points for months. Gibbs’s answer: Well, it’s a big forum. The correct answer, via Jay Cost: They’re out of moves. It’s Hail Mary time.

Why is the White House doing this? I think there are two answers that kind of relate to each other.

First, it has begun to believe its own spin that the President is good at giving game changing speeches. But he isn’t really. Nobody is. If the game could change because of a speech, the game would constantly be changing because lots of people can give a decent speech, especially when they have a TelePrompTer…

If Gibbs and his master believe that August wasn't a set back for them...then they will call the absolute twin tidal waves that destroy them in 2010 and 2012 nothing but a ripple. But a ripple that will leave them out of power whatever they want to call it.

There's a sea change coming.

Baghdad Bob was a consummate liar, but at least a charming one. I mean who else would have the brass ones to deny the Americans were in Baghdad while one of our tanks is visible through his studio window? Gibbs is an obvious wee-weed puppet.

Your Art is Brilliant!! Thank you and it is a Gift to American Freedom!!

Calling Gibbs Baghdad Bob is an affront to the Original Baghdad Bob! I never thought there would be a worse Press Secretary than Scott McClellan, but Gibbs is it in Spades!
Scott was honest and straightforward at least and a Good Human Being with Morals. Gibbs is just a Lowlife with No Morals and has never heard the word “HONESTY” nor “LOYALTY TO AMERICA!” Gibbs is just a POS, and thats being flattering:-)

Gibbs is a nasty snot and his delivery demeans the Office of the President, IMO.
