Robert Gibbs is scheduled to brief the press at the top of the hour. Here are some of our questions for him:

- Does the White House agree with former President Carter that some of the president's critics are motivated by racial animus?

- Has the president expressed any opinion on the House's reprimand of Rep. Wilson?

- Adm. Mullen said yesterday he expected a further increase in the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan. Why would he say that, if, as the White House insists, no determinations about force deployment have been made?

- Were you disappointed that no Republicans signed on to the Baucus health care proposal after months of bipartisan negotiations?

Gibbs said yesterday that he would leave the ACORN thing to cable news ... in other words, the cowards are trying to deflect Obama’s involvement in the group ...

“Baghdad Bob” Gibbs has as much credibility as the point of a needle.

Also does the president agree with what Maxine Waters said "The media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists like the ones who descended on Washington last weekend,"

months of bipartisan negotiations?

There haven't been any bipartisan negotiations since April. This is purely a partisan effort on the part of Democrats.

Actual questions:
Why are two white kids trying to bring down our president with racist videos?
Does our president look as fabulous in the evening as he does in the morning?
Why is Glenn Beck such a racist hater?
Why shouldn’t Rep Joe Wilson be in prison?
What did Obama think of the several hundred racist teabaggers that were in DC on Saturday?
What’s the most enchanting thing about working with our president and his fabulous pecs?
Is it true Michelle Obama gets more beautiful and Jackie-like every day?
Are there any conservatives you’d like us to smear for you?

Robert Gibbs speaks: "In response to your question, Charlie, it's a fact that everyone opposed to the President's health-care plan are racists"

UPDATE

Here’s what you need to know from today’s White House briefing by Robert Gibbs:

- The spokesman took on the hot-button issues of the day: Czars, ACORN and Jimmy Carter. (Follow the links for more.)

- Reacting to the newest health care reform proposal, from Senate Finance Committee Max Baucus, Gibbs said the draft legislation was a “building block” for comprehensive health care reform. But he didn’t embrace it wholeheartedly, telling reporters: “I think there are certainly some parts of it [Obama supports], but I dont think this is a mirror of what the president has talked about.”

- Pressed for more information about the president’s timetable for making Afghan troop strength decisions, Gibbs offered little beyond the assertion that determinations were “not immediate and not imminent.”

- Gibbs acknowledged that White House senior adviser David Axelrod had been in touch with Massachusetts politicians about a possible appointment to Ted Kennedy’s vacant Senate seat. “I think David has called to see where the process is, in terms of replacing a vacant Senate seat,” Gibbs said, “understanding that there are important debates that are upcoming in the United States Senate.”

Robert Gibbs speaks: “In response to your question, Charlie, it’s a fact that everyone opposed to the President’s health-care plan are racists” “

Facts seem to be in short supply anywhere within the sphere of the White House.

I am opposed to this whole mess that NObama is proposing.
list me, I guess, as a racist.
