In which Beltway Bob channels Baghdad Bob. Despite a month of near-daily Obamas 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? Wasnt 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 its Gibbss job to lie for his boss, but providing comic fodder for righty blogs with transparent garbage like this cant be helping much.
At another point during the briefing, Tapper asked him what the big deal is about tomorrow nights speech given that Obamas been recycling the same rote talking points for months. Gibbss answer: Well, its a big forum. The correct answer, via Jay Cost: Theyre out of moves. Its 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 isnt 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

There's a sea change coming.



"I can't compete with this guy!"
Huh. Which planet did Gibbsy spend August on?
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.
If that were true and if he believed it, he wouldn’t have to say it!
Beltway Bob channels Baghdad Bob
Too funny. And the body language is perfect for that statement.
Why, oh why, do the words ‘Madding Crowd’, come to mind?
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:-)
Delusion!
Liek I always say, liberals may go to the best schools, but they lack common sense. What idiots!
Gibbs is a nasty snot and his delivery demeans the Office of the President, IMO.
AMEN! and hopefully some of that will blow back all over Gibb’s disgusting Face..:-)
