"I think the key is ... I have friends that email me also from Panama City that they have been down just this past week and have not seen oil, not dealt with oil on the beach and I think sometimes the pictures have led people to believe that oil may be where they were planning on going," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.
"I think the First Lady's message is that the Gulf is a beautiful place," Gibbs added.

I wonder if they fear getting tarred and feathered if they go down there.

And Gibbs totally dodged the question.
Was there any follow up by any other reporter?

Gibbs backpedals so quickly he should enter a race.

Gibbsy is annoying as anything, but he sure has a tough job!

Are his kids still asking him “Did you plug the hole yet, daddy?”
What’s he telling his kids these days?

THE NUMBER ONE REASON MICHELLE WILL NOT GO TO THE GULF:
TAR BALLS.

It must be tough trying to shine a tennis shoe. I wouldnt have his job for a million bucks. Lying for people was never much fun to me.

I have a simpler reason. Middle America vacations at the Gulf. You know those NASCAR loving types from flyover country -- people who actually drive in a car to their destination spot.
Our glorious leaders need to be seen in places like Carmel, and Vail and Martha's Vineyard where the more affluent and erudite elements of society congregate.

I’m glad they’re not coming down here, playing while so many others are struggling to survive....they would be a distraction, and besides, I’d rather be able to bash him for not being there, regardless of the reason. So, pResident 0, take the family anywhere but the gulf.

The correct answer from Gibbs;
Michelle & Barack don't have any rich friends to mooch off of down in Florida.
To: i88schwartz
Gibbs is squirming - I love it.
