Gibbs: Hey, maybe the White House will start being honest about ObamaCare now
Hot Air ^ | December 2, 2013 | Ed Morrissey

Has the White House learned a lesson yet from the fallout from ObamaCare? Former press secretary and Barack Obama campaign guru Robert Gibbs certainly hopes so. Gibbs tells Morning Joe today that the use of foggy metrics like “works for a vast majority of users” has left the Obama administration open to scathing criticisms of its honesty and competence while many users see the site fail to process their requests. At least, Gibbs hopes that the White House will deal more honestly with their failures to get the back end of the infrastructure — that which actually enrolls and subsidizes those insurance plans — finally up and working (via The Weekly Standard):

Gibbs woke up in the first month of the Presidency and realized that Valerie was in charge...not the President. From that point, he couldn’t take the job serious.

Are you implying that Gibbs was okay working for a Kenyan marxist but not an Iranian slumlord?

Barry went to Indonesia to get a fatwa form his mosque so he could lie. I think this Fatwa prevents him form telling the truth.

This administration is simply incapable of dealing in truths. Everything is calculated for political advantage and manipulation of public perception.

Gibbs was, is and always will be a putz. Just like the current media handler liar they have in his job now.

foggy metrics

and lies.. a bit more sophisticated today now that they are arguably the Establishment; but still..

lies, lies, socialist realism, lies, mau-mauing, lies, threats, the ends justify the means . . .

This is no different than what I remember of the behavior of 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus, psycho spoiled brats -- It won't change. It is seared into the drug-addled brains of the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue like Obama.

You’re probably right. Team Clinton wants to distance itself from the stench of the Obama administration. And the lower Obama sinks in the polls the more you’ll hear them disassociating themselves from him. Team Clinton wants to get off the sinking ship.

“Hey, maybe the WH will start being honest about Obamacare ...”

Hey, maybe I’ll debate rule versus act utilitarianism with my bulldog later today, with him taking John Stuart Mills’ position.
Yeah, that’s the ticket ...

I don't think Gibby gave a rat's patootie. I know I wouldn't.

That's twice I've seen him pop off in as many weeks. I think he's been co-opted by team Hilary.

You are probably right, for these politicos it’s all about the next employment opportunity.

“Co-Opted by Team Hillary”. I think most of the Obama “mothpieces” are beginning to realize that is a “dead end job” and they need to start seeking alternative employment. Self preservation is a very strong human need.

Subsidizes? WTF Once again redistribution. Will America ever wake up? Hell no. America is finished and will never be a free market again. Hey, miss Romney yet?

Stench is right. It all reminds me of the video of the bloated beached whale exploding on the guy who poked it.

They've progressively turned US into that bloated beached whale and this latest gen of progressives are poking it with obamacare thinking they'll relieve the pressure.

I wait with my camera, hopefully at a safe distance, for what comes next.

Obama and his crew are a bunch of lowlife liars.

If they had told the truth - that you can’t keep your insurance plan - and that you can’t keep your doctor - it would have failed.

So the lowlife’s lied.

Filth.

The next time Baraq Obama speaks the truth it will be the first time.
