Gibbs stumbles explaining Obama's birthplace

The press secretary for Barack Obama, who first laughed at a question about the president's constitutional eligibility and later said there are 10,000 things more important, now is stumbling over the explanation.

"I can't tell you why somebody believes, despite all preponderance of the evidence, that the president was born … uhm … in … uhh, uhh … was born here and not somewhere else. I've stopped trying to explain that," Robert Gibbs said in a recent news briefing.

The response, in which he apparently meant, "I can't tell you why somebody believes that the president was born somewhere else and not here," came to a question about Obama's promises, and the lack of follow through, to get beyond a partisan atmosphere in Washington.

The subject was the confrontational town hall meetings at which members of Congress are being blasted by their constituents for pursuing a nationalized health care program.

"If you look at the protests that we saw outside of the building yesterday as a kind of continuum, from the tea parties, then the controversy over the birth certificate, then some of the anger from the Gates-Crowley episode, you look back at that…." came a comment from the press corps.

Remember the Alinsky rules. Ridicule is a potent weapon.

Gibbs: "If I had some DNA, it wouldn't assuage those who don't believe he was born here."

Memo to Gibbs: DNA can help to solve a lot of forensic problems, but place of one's birth is not among them!

Please see my post #44. Gibbs is a gaffe a minute.

What about the stench left on that infamous day? Gas analysis would reveal a lot.

LOL!

A suggestion, Liz.

Change the podium logo to:

The Chancellery
Berlin
Heil Gibbels!

[Liz]

LOL-—perfect.

Gibbs is a treasure trove of linguistic anamolies!

Did you hear him talk to Major Garrett of FOX on the mysterious spam from David Axelrod?

Gibbs said there is no list, but get me the email addresses so I can check if they are on the list.
