White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, appearing on CNN"s State of the Union Sunday morning, said President Obama does not think opposition to him is racially motivated, a claim made in Maureen Dowd's Sunday column.

"The goal of the public option is to provide choice and competition," Gibbs said. "As the president said, he prefers the public option, however he said that what's important is choice and competition."

Choice and competition, via a government-funded monopoly, in an already uncompetitive industry (thanks to government regulations making it virtually impossible for new, small competitors to enter the arena).

Hussein is just a spokesperson for the cabal that is running the White House.
Why does a spokesperson need a “press secretary”

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sarah Palin makes the liberals squirm and go ballistic! They know they are no match for her!
Now let’s add Michele Bachmann to the ticket in 2012 and make their heads explode!
I’ve read what the liberals have been saying on other blogs at the even THOUGHT of Palin-Bachmann, 2012, and they freak out!

Gibbs also ducked an opportunity to call former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a “liar” because of her comments about non-existent “death panels” in the Democratic health reform plan.
“I'll let Webster define what one calls her,” Gibbs said. In the absence of solid information, he added, “sometimes what happens is we fill the void with stuff that just isn't true. It's obvious that there aren't death panels.”
******
Gibbs can't call Palin a liar because they REMOVED the language in the bill that she was referring to. How can you
REMOVE something if it wasn't there to begin with?!
sometimes what happens is we fill the void with stuff that just isn't true"
Yes, we know YOU do, Gibbs!

Poor old Gibbs. He is just a doofus hung up loving a loser president. He has a man crush on Obama.

"As the president said, he prefers the public option, however he said that what's important is choice and competition." The President is making this whole health care issue his alone to own apparently.
That's a pretty niggardly attitude for him to take.

CNN John King did a good job exposing the hypocrisy of the DNC which called Boustany as “in the pocket of Insurance companies” because of a 500k donation, by showing that Pelosi, Reid and other major Dems received numerous times more in donations from these health companies.
Gibbs had nothing to say and immediately went off topic.

Gibbs waffled on Palin...I think the Thugocracy is "skeered" of her! Perhaps they finally wised up and realized by attacking her they're making her more relevant.
To: Jeff Head
HAHAHA...now THAT is good!
