Robert Gibbs: ‘Angry’ night ‘full of insults’ By: Kevin Cirilli August 29, 2012 12:06 AM EDT

In Tampa to lead the pushback for President Barack Obama’s campaign, top adviser Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that the first night of the Republican National Convention was “angry” and “strange” and “full of insults.”

“I’m kind of flabbergasted at the whole night,” Gibbs said on MSNBC after Gov. Chris Christie’s keynote speech. “It seemed first and foremost like this was a very angry convention tonight full of insults.”

He said that the night’s speakers, including House Speaker John Boehner, did not capture the struggles most Americans — particularly women — are facing.

“It bore just no real resemblance to what’s going on in their party. It bore no real resemblance to what’s going on in the country. I think it was a very, very strange night,” he said, later adding, “The night was sort of highlighted by lots of anger and lots of insults.”

Are you sure the speakers are going to get tough, though?

I think Gibbs was expecting the RNC Convention speakers to do nothing but praise Obama’s record of stellar accomplishments, and beg the audience to re-elect him.

Anything short of that obviously comes off as “angry” and, no doubt, racist.

or maybe a good Rudolf Hess.

Hess: Am I dreaming or am I awake - that is the question of the moment! I am sitting in the Chancellor’s office in the Wilhelmsplatz. Senior civil servants approach noiselessly on soft carpets to submit documents “for the Reich Chancellor”.... Outside, the public stands patiently, packed together and waiting for `him’ to drive away - they start to sing the national anthem and shout “Heil” to the “Führer” ... and then I start to shake and I have to clench my teeth ...

Perhaps it is because we are angry and upset about your admin. doing one heck of a purposeful job at destroying America? Noooooo, that couldn't be it.

You're just pissed off we have finally caught onto you and are using YOUR tactics AGAINST YOU!!

Go p!$$ in the wind you faggot.

>> Misquoted. What he said was “I’m kind of a fat bastard....” Lisp thing.

ROFLMAO

Poor little wuss; bet the convention brings back horrible memories of his junior high school years, when he spent the period after gym class stuffed into a locker.

Probably not enough of Obama was resonated through the halls.
Obama loves himself and demands his name be spoken at all times.
This isn't about you, Republicans, it's all about Obama. sheesh.

To be honest the small segment about Obama saying there will be bumps
In the road made me cry. My husband has been one of those bumps for the last four years . It hurts to watch him on Sunday waiting for the phone to ring to see if there is work for him. So if using obamas own comments are mean to bad.

I hear the DNC is looking for a group of competent Democrats so that they can showcase them at the convention.

"Obama has been insulting women since he’s been in office"

"Woman, thy name is Julia"

The opposition is going to call it over the top no matter what happens.

Bingo. Speak the language of the people who vote. Don't look unhinged. Point out facts for all to see, which is all you need to prove the left to be the liars they are. No need to call them liars when you can easily show and prove they are liars.

I think the best thing done last night was to visually refute the Democratic lie that hate and extremism resides in the Republican Party.
