Whose side is WH spokesman Robert Gibbs on?

Why would the man who is the voice of the Obama Administration say such a thing?

Quote:

.....on Friday for this most recent interview, there was no obvious irritant that would have driven him to take swipes at the "professional left." He just took them.
"I hear these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested," the press secretary said. "I mean, it's crazy."
"They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we've eliminated the Pentagon," he added. "That's not reality."

Gibbs needs to keep his trap shut. He is a talking dog for the white house. He has no opinions other than what the white house staff gives him. He says what they tell him to say and how they want him to say it.

I think Gibbs has an inflated opinion of his position. But so did Bush's talking dogs. Someone needs to remind them who they work for.

The white house press secretary works for the office of the president.

This is why when any presidential press secretary speaks, cum grano salis dude

I would have to agree here. He is a mouth piece and nothing more. If he does not know or does not want to talk about it the standard answer should be used...."Next question." Gibbs is a stuffed shirt anyway.

I

my butt off at this because all the Libbys heads are spinning over this, it really is too funny.This crazy lib I work with, she was so mad about it today lol. I actually think Gibbs was echoing the President, his statement is right.The far Left loons want something that just is not right realistic(or right for american anyway)....100% canadian style health care and dismantling of the pentagon.

Prob the first truthful thing Gibbs has said in public since Obama took office.Good job muppet man
