Ellison calls for resignation of White House press secretary Gibbs

Rep. Keith Ellison called for the resignation of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs after he said the “professional left” would only be satisfied with the Obama administration after “we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon.”

In an interview with The Hill, Gibbs vented further: “I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested.” On people who said that President Obama was too centrist, he said, “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

Rep. Ellison told The Huffington Post, “This is not the first time that Mr. Gibbs has made untoward and inflammatory comments and I certainly hope that people in the White House don’t share his view that the left is unimportant to the presiden. I understand him having some loyalty to the president who employs him, but I think he’s walking over the line.”

Ellison said that Gibbs’ resignation was warranted. “That’d be fair, because this isn’t the first time. And, again, people of all political shades worked very hard to help the president become the president. Why would he want to go out and deliberately insult the president’s base? And why would he confuse legitimate critique with some sort of lack of loyalty.

They wouldn't be satisfied if Karl Marx himself were in the White House. Nothing is Left enough for them.

The won owns the left’s votes and he has no need to give a damn about them.

Gibbs is just too painful to watch - if’n I do- his body language (pushing eyeglasses back etc.,) is so telling.

He may have reached the end of the roadie as a toadie.

Bus axles incoming!!!!

Agreed.

Gibbs just announced that the 0bama administration is now officially running to the right for the elections.

The more grief the left squalls into the media the better for both them and zer0.

Don’t buy the lies of the racist marxist left.

I still wonder what the “dirty tricks” were that the homosexual activist sounded off on when he blogged about how the Obama Administration was ignored all he had done (and given) for them.

One sock puppet is just as bad as the next. The job of these useful idiots is to make the stink go away and for most of them it’s an impossible task.

You nailed it. Put a burkha with the tiny slits on Fatima Thomas and she'll be good as press secretary till the country collapses and they donate her to Goodwill.

The Right hates him when he lies, the left hates him when he tells the truth.

Ellison is only peeved because this time, Gibbs went after the Left, but if Nancy Pelosi or Rahm Emanuel want Gibbs gone, he’ll be looking for fame and fortune elsewhere, be sure of that, and it’s a distinct possibility. Gibbs has a thankless job.

For those not familiar with him, Keith Ellison is a MUSLIM representative from Minnesota.

His first official act as a representative was to call the security at the House of Representatives like a crybaby, because some republican was smoking cigars.

I can make more sense out of a bunch monkeys chattering away at the zoo than I can from what these alleged intellectual Marxist elitists in the WH utter in English.
