Gibbs: Blaze's Holmes on Obama Ire Toward Bibi 'Silliest Thing I've Heard'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/18/2015 5:33:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Things got chippy on Morning Joe today after Amy Holmes of The Blaze pointed out that President Obama has personalized and publicized his conflict with Benjamin Netanyahu in a way he hasn't done even with despots like Kim Jong Un or the Castro brothers.

When Holmes added that "only Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be the focal point of this president's ire," former Obama spokesman Gibbs called Holmes' statement "the silliest thing I've probably heard in a long time." -

Gibbs was stumped by the obvious truth. She almost said they hated Jews.

Pray America is waking

Satan hates Israel. Let me re-phrase:
Obama hates Netanyahu.

“...Obama has personalized and publicized his conflict with Benjamin Netanyahu in a way he hasn't done even with despots like Kim Jong Un or the Castro brothers.”

Yup... and “O” was stupid enough to do it SO repeatedly, publicly and irreversibly that NOW, he can't even walk it back without looking EVEN MORE stupid....Talk about a maladroit politician!

Now ... how can the President of the United States of American credibly represent all of us to the world and especially in his ‘efforts’ to resolve ME discord?

G^%! He has the IQ of your average tree slug!!!!

Hi Mr. K. I’m the author of the original article at Newsbusters, and also responsible for the photo. I didn’t mean it to be unflattering—I was just trying to take the most dramatic moment of the spat between Holmes and Gibbs. But maybe I should go back and change it.

Gibbs used to be paid to gaslight you.

Now he does it for free.

In the next segment about state schools being as good as the Ivies, Holmes made sure to say she graduated Princeton. Affirmative action?

SHE looks vibrant. Gibbs, OTOH, looks like he has aged 30 years since he was Obama’s press guy.

Yes, that photo should be changed - if ANY way possible in your original story.

It is a very, very poor portrayal of her.


On a slightly different point, did you notice that HALF of Hillary’s time and effort after 35,328 hours as Secretary of State over 4 years, 11 days .... was spent on emails with her husband (2), about yoga classes, and her daughter’s wedding?

She has claimed “all” of her personal emails (30,000 pages) were deleted, and “all” of her government emails were printed (30,000) ... SO half of her attention was on none-government “things” - like getting hundreds of millions from foreign governments into her Clinton Foundation.

SO obviously, she “never” discussed anything “classified” with anyone at any time during 4 years as Secretary of State.

“SO obviously, she “never” discussed anything “classified” with anyone at any time during 4 years as Secretary of State.”

When she did, she used the Cone of Silence so all is good.

I would never dismiss Obama’s antisemitism as merely “the silliest thing I’ve probably heard in a long time.” His hatred for Jews is a serious global problem that endangers world peace. I pray that we will survive two more terrible years of this bigot occupying our White House with minimal additional damage.

Why is it unflattering? I think she still looks attractive. AND emphatic.
