Wow, even Helen Thomas is turning against Gibbs and The One.
The (media) natives are getting restless…finally
”
Kevin July 1st, 2009 – 3:33 pm
Wow, even Helen Thomas is turning against Gibbs and The One.
”
I was also shocked.
GIBBS DONT KNOW WHAT HE IS EVEN DOING HE TRIED TO LAUGH THAT OFF BUT I THINK EVEN THE BEND OVER PRESS IS GETT SICK OF ALL THE STUPID ONES IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Doubleplus Good!
Helen must have forgot Bush is no longer in the White House.
TO ERIC THEY ALL JUST WISH BUSH WAS BACK AND ALL THE STUPID COWARDS THATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WAS OUT SOME WHERE ELSE
I can’t believe Robert Gibbs would treat a little old lady like he did!
Of course, the more Gibbs uses that left-wing/liberal snotty/snarky “I’m smarter than you” attitude on the press…the more they’re going to go after him (and Barry).
Time to turn up the heat American Press.
Dis is how we roll in Chi.
Give Gibbs a break. He’s just doing his job.
His method may not be as smooth as it could be, but he does a great job as PS. Especially considering, he knows it’s all falling apart and he’s the one that has to run interference for the President.
Bear in mind, if Robert Gibbs quits (which he will sooner rather than later), that’s when you know the administration has reached the edge of “the cliff”, and things are about to take the BIG PLUNGE.
Was the “attack” pre-planned?
Gibbs is so arrogant and pretentious. He never answers questions; he evades and laughs them off as ridiculous.
WELL IT IS ABOUT TIME, AMERICA!
Gibbs Arrogant??? NAHH more like a dufus masquerading as a Donkey.. actually a wanna be Obama Oratorial Splendiferous INEPT…
Wonderful!

The veil is slowing being lifted.
If anything ever happens to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, perhaps “Baghdad Bob” could fill in for him. No one could tell the difference.
Send in the Clowns:

The Fascist group is out of control. Since when did we put up with is crap.
Start a revolution
If the attack was not pre-planned, I must add: Bravo to Chip Reid and Helen Thomas!
Wow! Even the bootlicking media is questioning “The One”. Things are crumbling for the Narcissist in Chief sooner than we expected!
even the hag gets it@#$%^&*
Censorship is next. This Adminsitration will not stand for dissenting views or opinions. Where is the “change” the American people were promised?
It took Helen Thomas this long to realize every appearance by Obama, since the start of the campaign is a carefully staged and choreographed production? Come on Helen, wake up. I will give her credit for pressing the question though. Does anyone think for a minute Obama will take impromptu questions on Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Honduras, Gitmo or try to explain the details of cap and trade and stimulus and bail outs and the steady decline of the economy after infusing billions into it? No, of course he’s not going to take impromptu questions because he doesn’t know how to answer them without a prepared response. Keep after it Helen.
He just answered everyone’s question when Gibbs said “I didn’t know you were going to ask a question”. What a fool and a sorry White House we have now!!
I just cannot wait until someone will ask Gibby to explain what exactly Obama means by TRANSPARENCY and ” Rule of LAW” since the Messiah seems to be Confused in their Meaning like Clinton was on ” IS”….That could be the Laugher of the Century!!!!
What would anyone expect from the Minister of Propaganda? Did you liberal idiots think there would be real change? Gibbs is a joke along with the rest of the liberal clowns. BUT, what would you have with McCain? About the same BS, different bovine.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Huckabee!
Yeah, and the Public Relations Society of America named him “PR practitioner of the year.”
Says a lot.
The arrogance of this administration and Gibbs is amazing. He doesn’t even see how pre-selecting questions is in anyway inappropriate, absolutely amazing. They truly believe we are to stupid to understand how what they are doing for us is for our own good, and we shouldn’t even question it. He is laughing at their inability to understand their reason for pre-selecting questions, and doesn’t even consider someones opposition to it. It’s not a GOP sore loser whine, or a Democratic whine you hear, it’s an American rumble, that is turning into a roar. Go to this site and enter your zip code, it will give you local people in your neighborhood that are just as upset about Obama as they were of Bush, that are doing things with your friends neighbors and local politicians to bring that change.

Tony Snow is rolling in his grave.
Is Robert Gibbs one of the brothers that used sing with the Bee Gees?
I have never been a Helen Thomas fan….BUT…..You go girl! Gettum!
I think some in the press noticed how the ratings have been dropping.
and are looking to save THEIR jobs,
if only the sheep are watching,
TV only needs one reporter to tell them what the “Ministry of Truth” says.
Mr. Gibbs is going to need better survival skills than he exhibits currently. There is much rougher water ahead, and he’s not going to get away with his sarcastic and evasive answers forever.
As a canadian I am amazed that our media neighbors to the south allowed themselves to be used and controlled
by this new administration…. it has taken over 1 year for them to see through the smoke and mirrors.
It is starting now. We can only hope it is not too late when they finally do their jobs.
Did I just see the White House Press Corps actually doing their jobs!?!?!? HOLY &$#*!
Someone check the weather forcast in Hell! Is it snowing?
My mouth actually dropped when I heard Helen Thomas gives Gibbs a hard time and actually realize that so much of
Obama’s press is pre planned and being very tighly controlled.
Wake up people!!!!! They are stealing your country right out from under you!
It’s your country, they work for you!!!!
Wake the F up!
What a nonsensical propaganda speil- please.
If he’s “not afraid of the press”, it’s because he knows he owns them… and even treats them with arrogant contempt, ie- hectoring reporters to “not waste their question”, telling them when they’ve “got enough pictures”, and even to “get back on the bus” in Chicago- ouch.
But to imply he’s forthcoming with the media is pure fantasy- what about the latest presser, where he went down a list, calling on those who pre-submitted questions for his speechwriters to tackle with the appropriate spin, while Obama read the telepromter like an automaton?
How about how he hid Emanuel during the Blago blowup? Or how he never told us how Blago received his offers/non-offers… as heard on the tapes? Or said he never met with Blago to discuss the seat… when three news outlets and Larry Axelrod all said that he did Nov 5th-
How about his first week, when he got snotty with the press pool when they asked him a simple question… saying “I’m just here to say hi”- and putting his hand on the Politico journalist’s shoulder, scolding like he’s a teacher with a child?
Obama’s “friendliness” with the press is the same as his supposed “bipartisanship”– he’s have you over to dinner, and smile for a picture with you… as long as you go-along unquestioning with his misguided, far-left agenda… and don’t ask any uncomfortable questions… or call him on any of his numerous lies and historical revisionism.
I’m STUNNED absolutely STUNNED to see a CBS reporter actually ask a hard question to R.G. and then to have Helen Thomas join in! Now if these reporters will actually do the same thing to Obama is another matter. It would be interesting to see if they will jump off the script and ask Obama a question that was not on the teleprompter. Then, maybe I’ll believe that these guys aren’t just Obama sheep in reporter’s clothing.
The WH is doing their best to control their message – when Gibbs smuggly asks Chip Reid and Helen Thomas which question did they not like that was asked – he is running interference of the worst kind. The issue isn’t what questions were asked – the issue is what questions were not asked OR were given to them in hopes of being asked and then deemed “to tough to take” and not asked at all.
Just like listening to Congress and Obama discuss cap and trade-that thing was passed in the dead of night and with 300 pages added to it at the last minute that no one anywhere could’ve gotten through and made any sense of. If that thing is so good and necessary, it should be able to withstand the scrutiny of being set out in the light of day. Why was the EPA forced to hide or curtail evidence to the contrary of AGW? Conspircay theory??? I have no clue but this crap has got to stop.
Even an America-hating c-word like Helen Thomas can see that our Commie president is going too far.
I can’t bear to watch Gibbs. He’s a national disgrace. That boy doesn’t have a square to spare.
The whole campaign and Presidency have been “pre-packaged”. It’s a Presidency made by Hollywood! It’s just now that some members of the press are waking up from the coolaid drunk they have been on with Obama.The sooner more of America wakes to Obama’s actions, the better off all of us will be. He needs to lose the majority of Congress in 2010 and all of you moderates and right-leaning liberals need to vote out incumbent Dems to stop this community organizer from bankrupting America. Obama’s legacy will be: he was the worst Pres. in US history. Get out and vote against Dems!!!!!
It’s absolutely f’n disgusting what’s going on in this country, And I’m absolutely f’n disgusted with the americans that are blind to it.
It’s about time! My personal props to all reporters willing to stand up and take one for the team.
Please nobody tell Obama what comes after a ‘trillion’
Glad to see you guys finally realizing that Helen Thomas is one of the last of the “real” journalists. And for any of you conservatives who are feeling smug, I have two words: Jeff Gannon. Remember him? The gay prostitute posing as journalist who would lob cloying questions at Bush? I always found it interesting that the White House logs showed that he made hundreds of visits to the White House, but often there was no record of him checking out…hmmmmm.
Does anyone remember Bagdad Bob? Same job. Different dictator:
http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/
“I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad.”
“They’re not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any
place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion … they are
trying to sell to the others an illusion.”
“The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!”
“I now inform you that you are too far from reality”
The only thing missing at the townhall meetings are the “greek columns”. This is what the greek columns
should have warned us… we’re getting a “packaged” presidency, propaganda at a level that only Hitler, Stalin,
Mussolini, and a few other dictators have enjoyed. It all raises the important questions: “Why are they so
desparate to prop this man up?” “Why does this man so desperately need a Teleprompter?” “Where is the
transparancy we were promised?” “Can we believe anything we are seeing or hearing anymore?” “Isn’t this the
movie ‘Wag the Dog’ come to life?”
Why should we not be terribly afraid? Our government is supposed to represent us, but we have a government that
seems to be afraid of us, afraid of tough questions, afraid to speak openly without scripted teleprompters.
This is the first press conference I have watched involving Gibbs and I was livid at his arrogance and lack of ability to understand what the questioners were asking.
I knew it was going to get bad with Obama in the charge, but not this quickly.
It is almost like 1984.
Very sad day in America.
There goes Chip Reid’s seat.
I’ts about F—– time! People are finally catching on to what’s going on!!
Tony Snow would eat this guy’s lunch every day. In a game of intellect the game would be called off
Poor Gibbs, Obama’s acting gave it away.
He looks just like Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket..a slack jawed mouth breathing retard who laughs inappropriately and often and questions he doesn’t agree with in an attempt to obfuscate and demean the questioner. What a douchebag.
Yes, Yes, yes. Hopefully the media will begin to see what we hae been telling them for months. Obama is
a disaster as is Robert Gibbs. This wa a laughing scene.
Congratulations to Chip Reid and Helen Thomas. It is truly about time that the press treat this President and Press Secretary like all the others. This Administration forgot or never gave a damn to the fact that THEY WORK FOR US. Only the press and people with professional morals will ask the tough questions. The press has been full of robots and yes people for too long. To the press I say, take this example from Chip and Helen and run with it. Who knows more of us will buy your papers and turn our dials to your programs.
God Bless Tony Snow and Dana Perina. They were professionals. Robert Gibbs is a laughing stock.
More spin from the Obama-ites. I am soooo glad I never voted for this village idiot and his group of thugs. May you that did pay for his transgressions. I for one refuse to pay for his stupidity.
The problem here isn’t Robert Gibbs, it’s Barack Obama. Obama is doing such a lousy job vis-a-vis the media that Gibbs can’t even take the fall for it effectively. He’s trying to fall on the sword here but it’s obvious that this is Obama behind the scenes. Nobody is fooled in the press corps, or the public.
If you know the questions, then you can prepare your answers. It is a slippery slope arguement that if there are “dissenting” questions then it proves the questions aren’t controlled. Quite the oppisite if you know the tough questions are coming you can prepare slick answers. If you do not know what questions then you have to THINK of the answers , use your OWN opinions and REVEAL your ideology. Strange that only Chavez, Castro and Obama have complained about Honduras. When America wakes up to Obama ideology I hope it isn’t to late to save us.
Does Gibbs think this is all a joke? Do you notice how he laughs everything off? It’s like he’s chatting at a DC Social Party.
There’s nothing funny about what the Obama Admin is doing to our country.
I’m not a fan of the statist media but I applaud the CBS guy and Helen Thomas. Maybe the kool aid is wearing off.
Wow, could this mean that reporters are getting tired of hanging on to their ankles and are beginning to actually stand up and take look at what is going on?
Thank God, the media is beginning to do the job it should have been doing in the campaign last year. I think the media is seeing now that THE ONE is made of glass.
“Dis is how we roll in Chi.”
That is absolutely DEAD ON. Watch Ritchie Daley on the rare occasions he gets a grilling from the press- what you do is pretend you aren’t comprehending a really simple concept and keep answering a question that isn’t being asked. It also helps if your head turns bright red. But that is right out of the Daley school of media control.
I cant believe my ears!!!!! The press does have a pulse!! Even though it is weak right now, the peoples hopes are that you do your freakin job!!!! I can finally say that not all press reporters are totally in the bag. Thank you for sticking your neck out, dont pay attention to your fellow bag holders when the smoke clears you will be able to sleep at night. Trust me!!!
Man these comments are a panopoly of wingnut paranoia!
Wow…this guy Gibbs makes Scott McClellan look competent.
Doing his Job???
Dr. Jordan, you as a Dr. should know that he is responsible for every word and action he performs whether or not he was told to do it by his superior!!
He must be held accountable for his actions just as the Nazi’s were that participated in murder.I only hope that these reporters start asking more questions like this with Obama and hold his whole administration accountable. Hopefully they will not get paid off in order to shut up before that happens. The answers he gave alone are proof enough to any smart person that he knew exactly what they were accusing him of and that it was true but he was trying to plead ignorance to what was going on, just like a Clinton.The American patriots need to wise up, this is Communism being revealed.
Typical Gibbs, laughing off the question. He does indeed have an impossible job. To have Helen Thomas, the most liberal, and tenured reporter, call him out on the obvious pre-packaged questions is just too precious. God Bless that woman. She has been around far longer than anyone else, and knows from experience, that the Obama Admin is controlling any and all questions like no other Administration has in history. She even mocked the “transparency” concept that Obama keeps spewing from his lying mouth. The press will eventually get around to doing what it is supposed to do.
Maybe it’s little things like this that are scaring the he!! out of the left-leaning media:
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Adults 25-54 Audience Down Nearly 55% Since Q4 2008
WOW…DOWN 55%!!! MSNBC’s numbers continue to impress.
This was soooo easy and Gibbs bombed. The reason questions from e-mail and Twitter and such are reviewed is that, obviously, there are a lot of nutters who’d ask what Obeyme thinks of Raellian prophesy or what kind of slug he’d be if he was a slug. And he blew it! What a twit.
The media asked its tough question for the year. Hurray.. They have to make themselves look like good journalists once in awhile I guess. But that must have been so hard and exhausting to do. I wonder if they drew straws on who had to ask it? I hope they get some rest after that toughie.
It’s about time….the revolution is growing…come on all you patriots…joint it the revolution!
Gibbs is a rude, arrogant, disrespectful @ss!! I’m no fan of Helen Thomas but she was spot on in her accusations, and so was Chip Reid. Gibbs was ill prepared for their tough questioning instead of the usual worshipping he’s been accustomed to the past 6 months. I hope this is the beginning of something beautiful….the press ACTUALLY doing their job. WAKE UP LIBERALS! This is what we’ve been trying to tell you all along. BHO and his gang of thugs are out for one thing and one thing only….whats best for THEM and the H E L L with the rest of the us…..the nation!!
This marxist Whitehouse is all about control. Controlling the Media, Controlling reporters, and with what they are proposing, control of the masses…e
The media finally looks behind the Wizard’s curtain.
Finally, the press stops drooling over every word from this administration. The king’s new clothes revealed.
It’s already too late. Today’s “American” would rather sit on their a$$ and watch Idol or Survivor or Desperate Housewives than have to use their brain and question what is going on with this administration. This is the end result of the selfish ME-first 60’s generation upbringing. Thank God that generation wasn’t around during WWII or we’d all be speaking German and Japanese today. God help us all.
I think Helen must be off her meds, somebody pry that bottle out of her hands. Nice to see Golem turn on the Chosen and his Neophytes, if only for a moment.
Bottom line here is Gibbs is hiding the truth and not doing a very good job of it. The truth is BHO is not good at townhall meetings because it is in these meetings that his weaknesses, lying and triangulating the truth, are made manifest for all to see. Both BHO and Gibbs know this. So, now they must screen the questions, stilt the meeting, and fool the public into thinking BHO is a great leader without flaws. You see, the Chicago pole with experience only in community service is now being exposed for what he really is, a huckster with a smooth voice who tries to lure you into his tent with the intention of taking your money and pride. Gibbs and the other sycophants must at all times hide the real BHO from the public scrutiny and the press. If either the press or public reveal the true nature of the Charlie McCarthy, left-wing, socialist dummy the BHO’s turn at bat is over. I only hope that the mask comes off before things like cap and trade, health care reform, reparations, and the dismantling of the military become realities.
When is the “press” no longer the “press” and they lose their 1st Ammendent protection?
The worm is definitely turning for you Obama.
Truth is in the air!
i just don’t understand why they don’t just have TOTUS do these press conferences and town hall meetings, apparently “IT” is the only thing in D.C. that has any mental capacity and portray a personality… might make us laugh – “does anyone remember laughter?”
HOBO:
Durn tootin’. Tony Snow was the best Press Secretary the White House has EVER had, regardless of the administration. That man could handle anything and anyone… brilliant thinker, respectful, smart, knowledgeable, etc.
Gibbs is a Gibbon. Monkey. I can’t listen to the guy for more than 30 seconds without wanting to puke. Study body language and non-verbal communication. You learn that the first thing a person does when caught in a lie is try to laugh it off; then he blames others; then he feigns moral indignation….
We all knew that Obama’s charade would eventually fail and that he would stand before the world as the idiot he truly is. My only surprise is how quickly it is happening, and how quickly the press is turning on him. Remember, it took the Monica Lewinski scandal for the press to finally turn on Clinton. That was, what… six years into his presidency?
-
You are a beautiful lady. God bless you.
I used to despise you, but I forgive and forget.
isabella July 1st, 2009 – 4:47 pm
God Bless Tony Snow and Dana Perina. They were professionals.

Are you referring to the same Dana Perina who had never heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
How much longer is the press going to let this propanganda machine continue unabated? It seems at some point that the media will begin to chaff at the constraints on their own freedom of the press. It’s amazing to me that it has gone on to such an extreme for such an extended period of time …and our defenders of the press remain like silent lambs. Such a sad commentary …at least there was some kind of an outcry when Bush tried such tactics. So sad…

— White House Press Release, 7/1/2009, 5:06PM —
White House Revokes Press Passes Issued To Reporters Chip Reid And Helen Thomas
The Obama administration has determined that these reporters have significantly failed to reduce their carbon footprints. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs states that, “according to observers in the press parking area, both reporters were arriving in SUV’s and other types of gas guzzlers”. Gibbs continues “We expect all reporters that we honor with attendence at White House briefings to toe the line in reducing their carbon footprint. Unfortunately, a significant amount of carbon gas was expelled by both of these individuals today, and we just can’t put up with that.”
Asked by other reporters who would take their place at the head of the room, Gibbs replied “We will be replacing Chip and Helen with blowup dolls that have a tape recorder imbedded in each doll. The tape recorders will have pre-recorded questions that will be asked at the appropriate time by my pressing the Play button on a remote control.”
It’s sickening that the news media only gets skeptical because they’re jealous of some twit from the Huffington Post getting preferential treatment (personal invitation and planted question at ABC/Obama’s last news conference). Where were they when the unread stimulus package was rammed down the throats of the American People? Where were they when Obama took over the auto industry and started handing out ownership to his union supporters? Where were they when Obama took over banks and financial institutions and started hiring and firing employees in the private sector?
Nowhere to be found. European socialism being imlpemented in the U.S. at lightning speed is no reason to do their job as skeptical “journalists.” But boy, mess with their egos and there will be heck to pay, even from Helen Thomas!
Liberals. No principles.
Ummmmm, Socialist Helen Thomas turns up the heat………….
This is only the beginning of a Hugo Chavez like takover of America. The question is why a President has made such decisions to put America in such un-reversible debt, an “energy” bill that will destroy the energy sector, and a heath care plan that is totaly dependant on government? Because we will only allow a dictator, like happened in Germany, during total economic collapes. I now believe Obama eng game is the destruction of America’s economy, allowing him to seize power…total control!
Americans should make no mistake about this that EVERYTHING Comrade Obama does or says is very carefully scripted by his handlers and fellow travelers to follow the strategy originally described by Saul Alinsky a long time ago in his RULES FOR RADICALS. Now some members of the State media are evidently getting testy and even “uppity”. The Comrade does not like uppity folks at all, and they will, as some time find themselves excluded from the Whitehouse press corps or if allowed to stay as a sham will never be called on again. This is about accepting everything that THE ONE says at face value, without any discussion, and then reporting it as FACT. Obama believes that the Sheep should be obedient, silent and work hard to pay the taxes that he has in mind. If we are smart and want this Nation to survive, we will as a start take back the House in November 2010 and deny him OUR MONEY that he needs to drag this Nation into the tank of Socialism. Socialism is only for bottom feeders and I believe that NON Socialist Americans still have the numbers to defeat him and drive him and his fellow travelers from office!
How did Gibbs even get this gig in the first place? It’s almost as if it was “Take Your Special Needs Kid To Work Day” and when someone saw him walk past a podium, they said, “Hey, Corky, why don’t you come on up and give it a try?”
A white house reporter who is actually DOING HER JOB! Thank you Ms. Thomas!!
Ask Gibbs–Where is the BIRTH CERTIFICATE ???
Is it just me or is it kind of obvious that Barry O’s not real fast on feet and
can’t be trusted to answer questions without TOTUS. (Teleprompter of the United
States).
I’d wager that Barry’s just as slimy as Gibbs, but is far better at hiding it.
And for the record, Hell just froze over because I actually agreed with and
cheered for Helen Friggin’ Thomas!
Sounded like this administration is produced by HARPO studio! :)
eventually most of USA will awaken to the fraud in the White House. Certainly Helen Thomas who hated Bush is now reprimanding the Obama people. Good to hear. Gibbs has no class but neither does the White house or congress.
All have noticed that questions asked have been checked before hand. We are not the idiots the people in White House think we are.
They owe us not we owe them. The white house belongs to the people not the temporary visitors who are voted in.
Can this geek give a press conference without smirking,being dismissive,and playing coy? He is astonishingly lacking in dignity and decorum that befits his office. If Helen Thomas, who is predisposed to be sympathetic to the Obama administration,is scolding him, he has to know he is in over his head.
Wow, Helen Thomas is hammering Gibbs and Barry? Things they are a changing! What’s next, will Chris Matthews ask for an original of the BO birth certificate?
the Drudge trolls are out in force
Gibbs is a complete a**clown.
It’s about time….the revolution is growing…come on all you patriots…join the revolution! Gibbs just showed how stupied he is and how stupied he thinks the people are. Liberals practice idolotry of idealogy! Gibbs revealed that the smoke is fianlly fading and and that the people are waking up and won’t take it anymore. Come on…join the revolution and keep all the incumbent elected bums out, everyone of them….R or D…kick them out and take back our country! 2010 will be a blood-bath and rightly so! Come on!!! Put that in your heart!!
Cheryl (4:30 pm) hit the nail on the head. This JUMPED OUT at me, too:
Gibbs to Helen Thomas: “I didn’t know you were going to ask a question”.
BINGO. Exactly the point: this Administration is only prepared to answer advance questions.
i am sure somehow all of this is Bush’s fault.
There IS NO United States. It is dead.
The 4th estate may be awakening to the vileness of monster had created.
I am not united with, nor will I EVER be united with Obammy, or those like him.
Gibbs is truly a puppet for the people behind obama. He is also the worst of the worst. Please read: Her name is ms ann, on YOUTUBE!
Hmmm. Talon news anyone? Jeff Gannon anyone?
Wow! Helen Thomas turning on her charm. The last Republican she treated fairly was Abe Lincoln. She’s been a lackey for the Dems since Roosevelt’s first term.
Wow! When Helen attacks Gibbs…You know it’s getting bad.
Ask Gibbs—Can Larry Sinclair ask a question?
It’s always amusing to see the liberals accusing Jeff Gannon of being gay … I guess their latent homophobia isn’t quite under control yet.
What’s the surprise here? Didn’t we tell everybody BEFORE the election that this kinda thing would happen with this character and his goons, like Gibbs? What is it about “We told you so!” that people don’t understand?
Gibbs that lying sack of garbage also claimed Hussein Obama’s real birth certificate is posted on the internet when anybody with a brain (that leaves out Democrats) knows that’s a blatant lie.
Condescending, arrogant, manipulative. This is right out of the 1930’s. I think Ahmadinejad is right the mask is off. But to see the press not get their way is sort of invigorating. I see some chinks in the armor here.
Finally!
The press better be very careful here. Next Mr. Gibbs will be using a TelePrompTer. And you all know who is running The Presidents TelePrompTer right? If not, you will find George Soros. I would really appreciate if the next question to Mr. Gibbs or The President is where is your BIRTH CERTIFICATE MR. PRESIDENT?
It’s all Bush’s fault!
HELEN: You don’t have an answer.
GIBBS: Did you send me an email, Helen?
HELEN: I’m asking it now.
GIBBS: I didn’t know you would ask a question, Helen.
Fast on his feet, he ain’t.
The day I agreed with Helen Thomas….
I’m gonna go lay down in a dark room with a wet washcloth over my eyes.
Besides controlling the reporters and the topics, pre-selecting the questions allows Obama and his team to prepare answers and put them on the teleprompters so Obama will have the answers. Glib? Smooth? You betcha. Rehearsed? Absolutely.
Someone in the media finally grew a pair..and it was an 88-year-old woman.
This poor basterd has to blow a lot of smoke up a lot of people’s asses to cover for the worst. president. ever.
Gibbie is ten pounds of crap stuffed in a five pound bag. That’s why there’s so much crap coming out of his mouth.
Reader July 1st, 2009 – 4:20 pm
Was the “attack” pre-planned?
You idiot!
You guys crack me up. Bush was king of prescreened town halls. All that is happening is that they are looking through questions off the internet, inviting people who’s questions are selected, and letting them ask the question. Yeah Helen, this hasn’t been done before because the use of the internet in this way hasn’t been done before.
Can you imagine if they just allowed any crazy question from the internet source to be asked? They’d probably have to bleep it a few times.
Time to grab a pitchfork and head to Dc? Who does this Govt represent? Wake up America!!!!!
Obama says he hides his cigarette use from his kids. I wonder if he also hides his crack use as Larry Sinclair claims he does it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was that moment not THE most delicious bit of irony? And Gibbs didn’t even get it.
Openness and transparency????haha even the crazy left is realizing the Obama administration is full of crap….Gibbs couldnt given anyone a clear answer….People better WAKE THE F UP….
President Obama couldn’t answer a real question if his life depended on it!!!!
Town Hall forums HA
Both Chip and Helen explained the pattern of handling questions — management and manipulation — to Gibbs, and Gibbs still asked, “What’s the pattern?” Now, Gibbs isn’t stupid; he knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s trying to confuse the issue in order to tire brains and, thereby, shut down thinking.
Sit down and shut up you crazy old coot. She’s senile.She should be put in a nursing home.
Hey Derek,
Too much Kool Aid! Open your ears and eyes and think for yourself. This Obama machine is totally scripted 100% of the time. Has been since the primaries.
Someone needs to relay the word to the liberal congress that they better quit folloiwng bo like ducklings follow their mother or they will increase the unemployment numbers after the next election.
Wake up AMERICA, bo is nothing but a chicago bully that is clueless in his dealings.
Helen – you’re an integral reason this travesty of an administration is in power.
Thanks for seeing the light 12 months too late….
guido July 1st, 2009 – 5:18 pm
The press better be very careful here. Next Mr. Gibbs will be using a TelePrompTer.
——————————————
It’s about time somebody spelled “TelePrompTer” correctly.
A quote from JIMMY OLSON: “Helen Thomas turning on her charm. The last Republican she treated fairly was Abe Lincoln.”
I laughed myself stupid over that one. I’m so totally going to plagiarize that line.
This entire administration is a lot of smug better than you life long college a holes who could never do anything except work in a government job…
Pathetic snits.
Gibbs has the demaenor of a drunk at closing time.
Ask Gibbs–Where are Obama’s college records!
Why is everyone thanking Thomas? It was Chip Reid that got this ball rolling
Talk about a patronizing idiot. This Gibbs sure isn’t winning any friends or influencing people. It looks like the “useful idiots” in the press corps are finally having their eyes opened to who and what BHO really is all about.
Ask Gibbs—How did Obama, as a civilian, travel to a foreign country that was outlawed to U.S. Citizens?
Gibbs, (aka Snowball, see “Animal Farm” is not a doubleplus good liar.
Thanks to Reid and Thomas for finally asking tough questions.
L-See-Dub July 1st, 2009 – 5:25 pm
Why is everyone thanking Thomas? It was Chip Reid that got this ball rolling
—————————————————
However, she had his back, having the courage to keep the ball rollin’. Others should have spoken up, too, and overwhelmed Gibbs.
Hellen Thomas at 3:26: “It’s a pattern…It’s a pattern of controlling the press.”
Hmm. So the press is admitting only now, what all of us already knew, that Obama and “the White House” have had a pass for many months. Had the compliant press been more objective and impartial with Obama all along, Maybe Gibbs would not be so indignant now. The press has been enablers of this failure of transparency.
Let’s HOPE the press will CHANGE and the honeymoon will be over.
I want by Change back
Go Ms. Thomas and Chip – it’s about time you all go for these bozos who are
supposedly representing us in this country. Gibbs is an embarrassment.
Everybody in that government is there only because the media created this administration! Now that same media is starting to get worried because the American public knows who sold them to us like a lemon. The sheen is off the rose! The emperor has no clothes! Sad for America, after trillions of dollars in spending, that the sycophantic media is finally starting to realize that these people don’t know what they’re doing, after all the financial damage is done!
The next celebrity to die… Helen Thomas after this exchange… she’ll somehow mysteriously die after crossing the great one, much in the same way people somehow died around the clintons
It’s about time they started confronting Obama’s butt-boy Gibbs on the manipulation of the press. Of course, it should be noted that the Mainstream Media ALLOWED this all through the election. It may be too late. Obama has already started his complete takeover of this country and the elimination of Constitutional rights.
The Obama admin is just showing its Markist/Leninist ways. First nationalize everything. Then punish the private sector w/ Cap and Trade. Side w/ dictators and socialists in Cuba and Venuzula against a country that is simply trying to follow their constitution and have term limits (Honduras) and finally (it has been happening all along, Helen!) limit what the press can ask about. WAKE UP AMERICA!
as the rev jermiah wright once said, ” the chickens are coming home to roost” hate to tell all you libs that i told you so……………
When will enuf people wake up?? Prez O is doing SERIOUS damage to this country.
*SIGH* Perhaps it is already too late…
Ask Gibbs—Why GINA COBB: Rezko’s Lawyer Owns Obama’s House
Wow! Helen Thomas is accusing the White House of having a pattern of controlling the press!
Maybe they’re finally starting to wake up to this administration. We can only hope.
Ask Gibbs—-About Evelyn Pringle’s Operation Board Games
typical right wing reactions. mr. gibbs accurately stated the facts.
when will you people learn you lost the election?
BobbDobbs July 1st, 2009 – 5:16 pm
It’s always amusing to see the liberals accusing Jeff Gannon of being gay … I guess their latent homophobia isn’t quite under control yet.
_________________________________________
“Accusing” him of being gay? Dude, he put ads with nude pics of himself in gay magazines. He was a prostitute. More of those Republican family values.
Sounds like some traditional media dinosaurs are afraid of the innertubes.
Helen Thomas looks like Hillary Clinton after “Death” and the “Crypt Keeper”.
It isa unfortunate that our milliary is not as brave as the Honduras millitary.
hate to date myself, but Helen used to be really good. she was always left, and later, pretty far left, but she always dug deep and asked hitting questions. nice to see that something has perked her up a bit. she got nasty and cynical during the bush years, but was treated with respect. could be that even she is questioning “The One”.
even those who lean left are starting to get twitchy about this WH.
FINALLY! Finally. I never thought I’d say this, but, you go Helen!
Prepackaged questions are bothersome, but unfortunately, expected from this White House. What’s even more worrisome is the fact that this genius orator and speech giver extraordinaire has to rely on his teleprompter for even the most routine of speaking engagements. Leads me to believe he doesn’t believe in what he’s saying most all of the time.
All Presidents have done this, Reagan was the king of crap like this. And dont forget Bush’s staged play with the troops>
As for Jeff Ganon the issue wasn’t really that he was gay, it was the fact the he paid $50 to become a journalist through some pennysaver ad and was given credintials without having a secret service background check. Oh yeah, how was he able to check into the WH one day and then check out the next…hmmm
its all rigged. chi-style
Wow, is Mr. Gibbs on some kind of mood elevator or what? I think the questions posed by Mr. Reid & Helen T were completely legitimate. This administration is transparent — we can see how far left it is and how it is trying to take away freedom of speech among other things. I like it when she said no other white house administration that she remembers is as controlling of speech as this one. For Helen Thomas to say that—- America wake up! Shout it from the rooftops — the real Obama is making himself known– did anyone see the pics on Drudge yesterday about the Evil Eye– very interesting! Everyone get out and get to your local tea party before Pres O finds a way to make those illegal. This admin has got to go– real leaders please step up for 2010 & 12. You 8 Repubs who voted for Cap & Trade for some political bribe– I hope you haven’t given up your other careers– hopefully you will be sent packing soon! Americans, do you need any more evidence of what Obama is all about??? Iran, Honduras, Cuba, nationalization of banks & GM, universal Health care– he is the most divisive President I have ever experienced. He has brought hatred of races to a new level and is intentionally pitting citizens against each other. Last I heard he is sending out agents to round up guns in Houston—each week in this administration gets worse than the week before– it is frightening! God help us all! Why can’t we see any paperwork on this man– what is he hiding? Is he from another Galaxy or what???
Whoah!
Even lunatic Helen Thomas can see through this sham of an administration and its staged questions.
Will wonders never cease?

When will you people sto trashing Palin and Republicans and act as though you won? You people are STILL fighting battles YOU people say YOU people won!
WOW. Cracks are forming in the facade of invincibility. By the way, did you happen to notice Gibbs’ “Billy Mays hand gestures”? I’m not kidding. Those are calculated “selling” gestures. Watch it again and you’ll see Gibbs doing the phony “pitchman” hand movements. He opens the hand then closes it in a “grasping and pulling in” motion. I knew Obama and the boys used word tricks and double talk, but damn, this is getting Orwellian.
Well, dang! This is the Hope we were looking for. The sleeping giant is starting to awaken. Pudgy Bob and his buddy 0 are in trouble now. How are they going to put the press genie back in the bottle once it gets out?
TO HENRY MN
“typical right wing reactions”????????????
your a Koolaid drinkin moron……Im tired of republicans and dems screwing this country all to hell….
You ever wonder why your golden boy always needs a TELEPROMPTER you idiot a REAL PRESIDENT answers questions on his own…
Are we finally starting to wake up? Is it too late to reverse the damage already done by the “messiah” and his minions, or should we now declare war and start fighting? Just asking?
I say declare war NOW!
We can begin to correct November, ‘08, in November, ‘10, then complete it in ‘12.
Wow! Is it getting that bad already? They are turning on their own kind??
I figured they would eventually figure it out. But I really thought it would take a little longer…
Finally some signs that at least two members of the press are no longer swallowing hook, line and sinker! Don’t let the president’s soft, soothing, intonations lull you back to sleep, Chip or Helen!
This old bag is a racist
All these white people cannot stand a black president in the office.
We need to have a black man or woman for press secretary
As someone surely commented above… don’t be so certain this wasn’t planted as well just to appease you folks. Look how quick you all are to be happy about it.
Give it a month or two and see if the direct criticism continues, and if so then we can golf clap for the inept media brotherhood.
Until then, then important thing to do is to drum up awareness so we can vote them all out in 2010.
Well, another stupid socialist, treasonist, liberal retard joined the ranks of the Congressionally incompetent, useless and stupid. Al-Queda FrankenFascist is there to help destroy this country. Even the Liberal animal planet are now realizing they have put in another village idiot.
“All Presidents have done this”
So you’re calling Helen Thomas a LIAR? She was there to witness it and said that this kind of thing she was talking about has NEVER been done before, where were you? Drinking the koolaid, no doubt.
Not a big fan of Helen……however……WAY TO GO HELEN!!!!!!!!!
It’s interesting that a CBS reporter is the one who gets tough. We know that ABC and NBC have been given special access to Obama so they are somewhat beholden. Either CBS is jealous, or CBS sees an opening to become a real news outlet rather than a propaganda arm of the white house.
As Obama told Joe the plumber, he will redistribute the wealth!!!
July 1 (Bloomberg) — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will begin refinancing mortgages with loan-to-value ratios of as much as 125 percent as the Obama administration seeks to boost participation in its anti-foreclosure programs.
We bailed out these two F’s now we can bail them out again when these loans go to the same people as before, those who should be renting with Section 8 payments! Welcome to the neighborHOOD Bro!!!
What’s the truth, if Our Dear Leader must rely on a TelePrompTer/pre-packaged speech and pre-packaged/managed/manipulated questions and hand-picked Obammy-friendly reporters? It all has nice wrappings, but what’s inside the packages?
This is a very sad state of affairs in the mainstream media these days. Hussein is nothing more than the anime character that the marketing and media dynamos created in pursuit of the highest office on the planet POTUS. Lackeys and whores all, with very few exceptions, treating Hussein and his poisonous administration with “kid gloves” and bowing down to him (like Charles Gibson) like he was some sort of royalty. Don’t you frigging journalists get it? Millions of us do and we don’t sit in the press briefing room everyday waiting to trade jokes and laugh about some very serious things the American people may or may not be aware of.
Here we are on July 1, 7 months into this administration that has millions upon millions of job losses to it’s credit, excessive taxation at every turn and two programs (national health care and cap and trade) that one alone could damage Americans freedoms and ingenuity, the two together guarantee absolute destruction of everything Americans have fought and died for for over 200 years.
Yet, the press and media sit idly by waiting for the next tidit of information from Gibbs the type of guy I would’ve liked to have cold-cocked at least once a day in high school.
There are some Pulitzer prizes, some really good books, a relative serene life awaiting those investigative journalists who dare to investigate the blatant disregard for the rule of law in this administration, but no one has stepped forward yet. Nor or they likely to because this Hussein administration will do everything it can to discredit and separate that journalist from his/her media paycheck when that reporter “steps out of line” with the administration.
take from the productive, give to the sick, lame and lazy and smile on election day! that’s the formula for these shallow, condescending phonies. the only thing “transparent” about this administration is the low esteem it holds the electorate in…how come there is never any mention in any of the administration’s speeches about HOW MUCH OF OUR HEALTH CARE TAX is going to go to pay for NON-U.S. CITIZENS; people who don’t even belong here!!!
It shamful that it has taken the press this long to realize that everything this administartion does is “set up”. What is it going to take for the American people and American press to realie that we have a “sheep in wolf’s clothing” and that if it can’t be pre-orchrastrated by this administration they can’t figure out how to do it on their own. Maybe this will get some legs and teh press will finally do their job!
The American people are waking up, it seems, even without the press’ help. Maybe the press realizes that its reputation for objectivity is so far down the toilet, that it has no choice but to give the public what it wants. Thats if Obama doesn’t bail them out and turn them into a government propoganda machine. As it is, they are obamas private propoganda wing, but we all know that.
Really, what we the people want is the press to cover Obama just like they covered bush. Leave no story uncovered, rake him over the coals with real questions. Enough with the mindless fawning and softball questions.. Make him answer pre-selected question, and when he can’t give answers..CALL HIM OUT!! Blame where blame is due…
Kudos to the actual reporters, Chip Reid (CBS) and Helen Thomas.
Please send a message to CBS thanking them for Chip’s unscripted question–maybe if they do their jobs, people will start watching them again!
If you agree, please let them know…

That comment is, in itself, racist.
@Don Johnson: sounds like you are the one with the race issues, buddy. And a little age discrimination, too, eh? Nice example you’re setting for the enlightened ones.
BTW, all these white people didn’t seem to mind when Colin Powell was up on the podium every day doing press conferences. Or Condie Rice.
Get over it. Although I can see how you are bitter with that name, Crockett!!!
I can’t believe I agree with Helen Thomas, but she is exactly right. It doesn’t matter what questions get asked, the point is they get to screen thousands and pick the few that get read to give us the best show.
Wait a minute, everybody! We forgot one thing! It’s all Bush’s fault! Yeah, datsright, datsright, it’s Bush’s fault!
the wheels on “o”’s bus are coming off, coming off, coming off…
There will NOT be a second, Obammy term, and Congress will be Republican majority in ‘10.
Gibbs is an idiot speaking for a super idiot..
Don Johnson……..
I don’t have a problem with a Black president. But that president should know what color he is, where he is from, and who he should be representing. He is supposed to represent ALL of us and not one group of people. Race should never be a factor in any election. Elections should be about the issues and the better person for the job. People were voting because of the person, not important issues that matter to Americans, not one who uses race or fraudulent methods or organizations to win his way there.
This past election proved that out of the two main candidates, neither were qualified for the job. The end result was an unqualified, unexperienced racist and socialist at a desk to not better our country, but destroy it worse than it has already become. This guys first 6 months is about as disgraceful and pathetic than W’s last 4 years.

Finally the press is finding their voice (or b…s). Better late than never I suppose.
Don Johnson….your the racist…..the first person in here to call racism…..the fact is….questions at town halls are being packaged!!!! Period!!!…..a friend of mine at the San Antonio Express news was called and asked about “providing a question about his thoughts about the global warming bill and the drought that Texas is in!!!!! come on…this president is a scam….the media is starting to wake up and I hope you realize that he is a one hit wonder and will be stomped worse than carter……you need to face the fact that you voted for a fraud….he has no clue…..and you said W was bad!!….at least he took all the questions….he may have answered like a buffoon….but at least he answered from the hip!
This is a pre-packaged President. Jimmy Carter II.
2 thumbs up for the press – for once!
Blacks have said that they want a colorblind society.
In what way is Don Johnson colorblind with comments like:

I guess you have to be 110 years old in the media to realize how one-sided the media has become and that if someone up on the podium can’t take the heat, they should get out of the kitchen.
Not particulary a Helen Thomas fan, but for once I’ll give her kudos for making Gibbs studder and panic.
Why are people like Don Johnson continuously and continually trying to separate Blacks from Whites? Was Rodney King NOT correct?
the “press”, as it was known before-O, no longer exists. they are merely left-wing propagandists and must be viewed as such. they are no more then dogs to be walked at the convenience of the administration…

Michael Jackson’s videos were less choreographed than Barry’s public appearances.
LOL. You sheep in the press fell for this phony’s lies and fraud, too?
The worst part of all of this is yet to come. Mark my words… in Obambi’s next press conference, he will heckle Helen. And they’re probably right now talking about how silly she is, laughing heartily, and patting themselves on the back telling them how good they are.
As a side note, anybody hear the financial advisor’s (sorry, don’t know the name) happily exclaim on NPR that they would make enrollment in 401Ks manadatory, but one could opt out if they chose… they just have discovered that sometimes people don’t make the best decisions for themselves? What would we do without them???
I guarantee this story will not be on CNN!
I don’t trust this scenario. After this last election I will never trust the media again. They have lost me as a fan. Whatever they report, I wonder what’s behind it. On the ethical food chain they are lower than trial lawyers and hookers, or even Bernie Madoff. The true bottom feeders of this society.

Bryon July 1st, 2009 – 6:00 pm
If what you say is true in your post, I wish your friend would “out” the WH on this. The nation needs to know about the “cap and pillage” scam.
i voted for Obama and dont see a facade of invincibility, and its obvious conservatives dont, and even more obvious the press doesnt either…so whats your problem. Bush wasn’t really confronted by the press into his second term.
remember they are politicians..they are not saints and before they are liberal,conservative, religous, or a corpratists they are politicians.
quit being such a bunch of whiny self righteous assholes and you might be back in power sooner than expected
Obama may get more than two terms. Don’t forget ACORN or how Minnesotans’ votes for the new clown Senator exceeded the number of registered voters in some counties. How about how the Dems will allow the provision for term limiting the President to expire? You think the Iranian dictatorship isn’t in the making here? Why do you think O’s getting back slapped by Castro and Chavez? Wake up America! BTW….where is the press asking why he won’t show his birth certificate?
Wolf Blitzer from CNN and Keith Olbermann from MSNBC should start taking question-asking classes from Helen. I bet they fail miserably.
That goes along with all the Hollywood miserables who think O is the best thing since sliced bread. I bet Oprah will be kicking herself in her big butt soon enough.
==you guys aren’t smart enough to declare war. Your GEDs and squirrel guns won’t cut it. The liberals would crush you.==
Libs don’t have guns. They’d run like scared, old women.
I think it was a pre-planned conspiracy, designed for Helen to come in at minute 2,
but she forgot where she was and Chip had to elbow her to remind her to chime in.
Looks like Robert had a fun day. Just another example of the sham of this “open” administration. Can you imagine the outrage if the Bush people had planted all their questions? The Obama administration is nothing if not a smooth machine. Go to http://www.myangryelephant.com for more.
Let’s see: we have Al Franken as a Senator, Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, Gibbs as press secretary, Joe Biden as Vice-President, and Barry H. as President. I really do think our government has turned into a comedy act of historic proportions.

You’ve made a significant statement there. Will Obammy get Castro and Chavez, backed by the Iranians and, maybe, North Korea to intervene on his behalf in case of “trouble”? Interesting alignment there, isn’t it.
I didn’t go to a big well known college. I wouldn’t say I am the most intellegent person on my block. And I am not psychic!
BUT last fall and beyond, when America was being fed Obama vision 24×7, who made this possible? The American press. I saw this and figured out not only was wrong but noticed that team Obama was being fed pre screened questions. This was lightly reported and ignored. Reporting I saw was going going to be controlled, much like Iran, China, Venezuala…etc.
And it has!
Hey Press core, you asked for it, you got it! Thinking about who gets locked up first amongst you suckers for asking a wrong question?
Yes, it’s too little too late.
But just wait. those will be sent to a quick sensitivity reeducation camp tonight. And see the KoolAid drinking robots; tomorrow
OMG – I almost fell off my chair! Helen Thomas mad at Gibbs and the White House for “Controlling the press” Helen, let me ask you…..what DOESN’T Obama control? With Cap & Trade Obama will control what comes out of your mouth! He’ll have ultimate control.
Holy flippin’ cow! All we need are a few more liberal journalists turn on the Boy King and we just may get our country back! I’m feelin’ optimistic!
The only reason Helen spoke up was because of the Huffington Post planned question the day before. The MSM are offended that they aren’t getting the respect they once had. Nice try, Helen. It is a little late to save your reputation.
Finally the love affair from the liberal press maybe over.
We shall see if this lasts, I hope in hell it does. If not, god help us all.
Hopefully the press is now noting the real Obama control freak and the dopes he has surrounding him.
One thing is for sure, if Hussein, Perdopy, Reid and Congress keep up this crap, there will be a huge
loss of Demorat seats in 2010 and the country can get back on track.
Frankmalzone,
You’re scaring me more than I am already am. LOL

The long-acting ingredient in the KoolAid is wearing off. Of course, a press corps with more ethical integrity could have shaken off the lingering effect sooner.

Wow! The disingenuous, pseudo-intellectual elites that couldn’t get enough of O’s transparently packaged, messianic messages to parrot in mindless syncopated rhyme and time during the campaign are now complaining?
These are the same people who couldn’t get enough of O’s kool-aid and wouldn’t say boo! even when they had a mouthful themselves……………long after peddling the “party line” to their audiences as if the O party line originated as inspiration from God.
What pure fiction at all levels of this media enabled “Conning of America”.
The indignity expressed by the media elites at being openly used by O’s administration to package the party line on their own in response to scripted questions is thoroughly lost on me………….
The media elites’ objections to being used as organs of O’s state who no longer get any romancing before consummation are the self-serving lamentations of former self-anointed clarions of truth coming from the bowels of the special hell reserved for people who’ve prostituted their principles for crumbs from O’s feast of ego…intellectual paramours coming away emptier and hungrier than before the feast………….
These are intellectual opportunists who only now realize and acknowledge that their messiah never really loved or respected them in the first place let alone the next morning.
The media elites are………….nobodies.
From O’s perspective everybody is a nobody…..including you!
And this is the change you hoped for.

As for my personal 1984 nightmare–taxing my ability to exhale has got to be number one. (Al Gore and “O” should pay extra.)
PS–When the “O” supporters open up their electric and gas bills after cap & trade and consider dumpster diving to feed the kids, maybe they’ll wake up from the nightmare they created for our country.
==Republicans don’t believe in science…==
Yes, they do.
==… so all the liberal scientists…==
Oxymoron alert!
==… could easily whip up something to take our your snaggle-toothed army of rednecks.==
And, yet, Libs are too puss to use whatever they would whip up. While they were whippin’ up somethin’, we’d be whuppin’ them up! We’d make them into whupa$$ san’wiches. Hold the mercy.
At the 2:17 mark…I see two monitors in the podium. Who is feeding Gibbs his answers. This is what Obama wants in his podium at press conference. Can’t people think for themselves.
Folks, don’t get all giddy about Reid and Thomas. ONE confrontation during ONE press conference does not absolve the fact that the fourth estate made itself into the fifth column to get Obama into office. Wait and see what they ask next time. Wait and see what they write. Don’t get fooled again. Your forgiveness should not come so cheap.

LOL. Yeah, maybe Al Gore will kill us with arctic ice floes.
“Liberal scientist” — talk about an oxymoron. Today’s “liberal scientists” are consumed with lightbulbs, toilet water, “man-made global climate change” and all manner of politically-driven social sciences.
Helen has more balls than the GOP.
Mr Incredible, my science comment was only intended to show you how wrong-headed it is to think that liberals don’t have guns. I’m opposed to gun control, but I’m a liberal for other reasons. My brother is a staunch conservative, but he wishes the Christian right didn’t have such a hold on the Republican party, and I know many conservatives who are mortified by the socialist actions of Bush’s last days. I’m glad Helen Thomas is calling the White House out on this stuff. I want an honest government as much as you do. Anyway, gotta go. I’ll fight with you guys another day.
Just a little while longer, a little over a year from now, we have the opportunity to correct what voters did to us last election. We can return Congress to Republicans who, under any circumstance, are better than any Democrats.
Then, in the next prez election, we can correct THAT mistake, too.
Mr Incredible–
Don’t forget the intrepid Wm. Ayers. He was too chicken to serve but not too chicken to bomb his fellow countrymen. (Not to mention his girlfriend died making a bomb–something he was probably too yellow to do himself.
Wm. Ayers said on his blog… “The end of an empire is messy”–BEFORE the election. (Google it.)
Nice to see the press isn’t rolling over to get their belly rubbed by the white house, at least for today !
And who, I wonder, did Helen Thomas vote for? She asked for it last November, she got it. Now maybe she’ll understand what liberal fascism is all about.
The press just needs to forget what this administration says anyway since it is all LIES. The press just needs to report on their hypocritical and corrupt ACTIONS. You’ve heard about John McCain’s Straight Talk Express, well Obama’s is the Sweet Talk Express. He has sweet talked all the way to the Presidency and he doesn’t respect the press or the American people and he is going to do whatever he wants to and he doesn’t think he has to answer to anyone and he and Gibbs will continue to treat the press like 3rd graders. Hopefully the press will turn on and show Obama who really has the power and influence in this country.
==you guys aren’t smart enough to declare war. Your GEDs and squirrel guns won’t cut it. The liberals would crush you.==
Libs don’t have guns. They’d run like scared, old women.
———————————————————–
Actually, they scatter like frightened and confused hobos in a train yard.
Don’t believe your eyes people! Gibbs is a funny guy. Finally people are waking up out of their blindness with this guy!
Its only a matter of time before boy wonder is running from the press……..
Wow! The disingenuous, pseudo-intellectual elites that couldn’t get enough of O’s transparently packaged, messianic messages to parrot in mindless syncopated rhyme and time during the campaign are now complaining?
These are the same people who couldn’t get enough kool-aid and wouldn’t say boo! even when they had a mouthful themselves……………long after peddling the “party line” to their audiences as if the party line originated as inspiration from heaven.
What pure fiction at all levels of this media enabled “Conning of America”.
The indignity expressed by the media elites at being openly used by the administration to package the party line on their own in response to scripted questions is thoroughly lost on me………….
The media elites’ objections to being used like organs of O’s state who no longer get any romancing are the self-serving lamentations of former self-anointed clarions of truth coming from the bowels of the special hell reserved for people who’ve sold their principles for crumbs from the on-going feast of ego…intellectual paramours coming away emptier and hungrier than before the feast began………….
These are intellectual opportunists who only now realize and acknowledge that they were never really loved them in the first place let alone the next morning.
The media elites are………….nobodies………everybody is a nobody…..including you!
And this is the change you hoped for.
LutherPoach: “My brother is a staunch conservative, but he wishes the Christian right didn’t have such a hold on the Republican party, and I know many conservatives who are mortified by the socialist actions of Bush’s last days.
Conservatives — or any thinking American, for that matter — didn’t know the true definition of “mortified” until the current reckless, radical extremist took office. Bush did lots of things that appalled conservatives — but Barack OLinsky makes him look responsible by any standard.

Yes, those who voted for this, we told WWWWAAAYYYY ahead-a time, and, so, THEY are responsible for this. “They” includes disgruntled Republicans who didn’t think before they voted. They have a chance to make it right, starting next year. A knd-a “do-over.” A make-good.
Wow, Helen Thomas? She’s a lefty from waaaay back. Maybe she is realizing her profession has less credibility than a used car salesman or current chief of Government Motors. Naaaw, can’t be. I’m sure Helen will wise up shortly.
the whole obamanation administration are a bunch of elitist, arrogant, pinheads!
WOW THEY ARE MAD THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS GETTING THE FAVORITISM THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING
HAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU PIG HELEN, YOU NASTY PIG NOW GETTING MAD WHILE YOU BEAT AN HONORABLE MAN BUSH WHO KEPT YOUR BUTT SAFE FOR 7.5 YEARS –

Too bad the people who voted for this didn’t have the vision we had and relayed to them.
WoW! I might have to re-exmine my opinion of Helen Thomas. It seems that she is one of the few press members to be objective and demand answers from this “ambitious” white house. Go get them Helen. I am proud of your integrity.
You go Catherine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget ACORN, movetrash.org, Oprah, Jeremiah Wrong, Jesse Jacka$$, Al Sharpton, NAACP and the ACLU. See the pattern? LOL
The fiery reporting beast, Helen Thomas arises from her liberal slumber and starts to call out the White House Propagandist for what he is? Hahahaahahahahaha. I love this woman! Keep it up, Helen! Minister of BS Gibbs cannot stand up to the heat supplied by the original fire-breathing dragon of reporting.
Fox News at 6:00 PM described just how tightly screened and scripted the town meeting was.
Fox did a bit of research and discovered, predictably, that several of the questioners had strong and obvious ties to Democrat special interest groups.
It’s about time the lamestream media got a bit feisty.
Tomorrow the media will be right back toting the obamby line, they have too much to lose, they didn’t vet obamby during the selection, so how in the hell are they now going to now?
Think back, do you REALLY believe people where fainting at the sight of obamby?? But no one checked to see who was “Fainting”.
The Media pounced on Sarah Palin/flew to Alaska, but they couldnt find Bill Ares/Tony Resco/Acorn.
How can they back track now???
This is a VERY dangerous situation
You Obama cultists are deluded fanatics. And the American people aren’t buying the junk you are selling. They are buying guns and ammo at a record pace.
I hope all you socialists have your bags backed for Canada or France.
You go, Helen!! I like her spunk. What she is saying also happens to be true.
Helen the Attack Dog is finally starting to smell blood… It will only get better
as Obama’s approval ratings drop below Jimmy Carter. Obama where is your
birth certificate? Come clean and tell America that you’re not even a US Citizen!
We had the pre-selected ABC News sponsored “Town Hall” on health care, and now this.
I have never seen this much control in by one party in my life. Bush certainly had his moments, but I think Obama is running circles around Bush in terms of controlling the media (Bush had no control since they mostly hated him with a passion).
It seems the Obama admin thinks we’re all stupid enough to buy into the crap. This country is on a fast track to going broke with the programs and taxes coming our way. I feel sorry for the younger people because they are going to pick up the tab. I’m pretty sure my old age will be quite miserable too since no matter what I save and plan for the money I do have will be diluted and worthless and I will have to depend on mommy government — since they are forcing it upon us.
Read history and find out that the Marxists who rise to power ALMOST always go after the liberals. They are the first to be taken out. The liberals help them get into power and because they know too much… they are the first to go.
BARVO!!!! standing ovation for Helen Tomson and Mr Reid..better late then never.,,2010 is going to be fun..
it’s about time the press starting asking real questions. Now watch, the prez will come out and try to laugh it off, but will never be open and honest….
Resist Socialism……….Chains you can believe in!
10 out of 10 Terrorists Prefer Democrat!!
It won’t last, this challenge from the media.
They have no integrity or pride anymore. Are there no Woodward’s out there
to expose the fraud, the hypocricy?
It’s a new brand of reporters practicing toady journalism, not real journalsim,
toady.
Someone in the press please man up. This country needs you
The truth is of no consequence to Obama. He has a lifetime supply of “the audacity of arrogance” – he says whatever is convenient to his purpose at the time and setting where he is. Gibbs is just the “other teleprompter” – the one Obama does not have to read while sneering at you and I. There’s nothing new about lying devious politicians, but thsi one is in a horribly dangerous position and his minions in the press are shamelessly spreading his propaganda. A total betrayal of America, nothing less. All the election lies, the ACORN driven voter fraud that is growing as we speak, … Hello Orwell – Animal Farm is no longer fiction, we are it!!
Extra! Extra!
Reid and Thomas escorted to Black Room
After asking several questions that were not planned or rehearsed by Gibbs, Reid and Thomas were escorted to Black Room. Both were confronted by First Lady Marxist MIchelle Obama. Michelle was quoted as saying,” For the first time in my adult life and my glamourous socialist marxist position, I am not proud of you!!” Reid and Thomas were then giving a hot cup of tea and a book by Lenin. A meter was then placed on their body to determine if they had any light ions that had been omitted on their skin that were not state mandated and questioned then what house they had just came from. Both notified the goons that the light was from their own homes and Geither informed them that their house would be bulldozed. They were hypnotized by President O and told repeatedly that, ” Just words, Just speeches, Never question me or my staff again.” Helen was then put in a back brace and taught to bow to ranking White House staff. Acorn showed up and demanded names of all known kin, co-workers, neighbors and friends. Acorn was seen leaving with the IRS, INS, and William Ayers. Chip and Helen assured President O and Mishelly that someone from RNC was holding their grandchildren hostage and demanded they ask those questions. President Hussein then told the victims,” Its OK, I will take care of you now, I have a new policy to deal with hostage takers, We now talk to them, let them know we want to be friends, u know, let them know that if they are muslim, we Muslim too! If they are pediphiles, we pediphiles too, no problem, ishmail saleeb, mi casa su casa!!” Reid and Helen then bowed and President Obama offered his dog up for them to kiss. Before they left a physical was given by a state run doctor. Helen was first. The doc put a ice cream stick in Helen’s mouth. He looked and with surprise said,” You will die someday, that will be a ten dollar co-pay.” Helen was shocked to see that outside the room over a thousand people had lined up for their physical and she was thankful that she was ahead of the small but impatient gathering. She noticed a sign on the door that read,” We close at 5 if you have a problem call Obama, he will take care of all your needs.” Chip was next.(im laughing so hard). Chip was told to shake the doctors hand with his left and right hand. The Doctor with suprise says,” You have left central brain malfunction, which could be the cause of your wary questions. You see Chip, I am not a real doctor, I didnt have to take all those tests and pass all those classes because enough real doctors quit and retired, they wasted all your money for unnecessary procedures. This stuff is easy. I am prescribing oxycotin for you that will make you not ask them silly questions.” Chip and Helen left in their state issued gowns that read,” State Tested and State Passed!”
I think Helen Thomas should put a couple bricks in her purse then smack both Gibbs and Bin Bama.
You White House baffoons……………This is not the change that us real Americans wanted!
“Dr.” Mary Pat Jordan, your tenacity and stamina are amazing! How you can continue to accord such lavish verbal lap-dances to your socialist idols, day after day, without showing any signs of fatigue or embarrassment, completely boggles the mind.
Notwithstanding the abundance of rational arguments tearing at your credo’s validity, you have, nevertheless, remained pertinacious in your adherence to Marxist dogma. Mary Pat, truly, you are the example–nay! you are the archetype–of what every dogmatist imbiber of Kool-Aid should aspire to be! Do not waver; for there are countless Kool-Aid-drinking minions who look to you continually for support and inspiration!
Gibbs has a pattern of laughing off questions he does not want to answer. I find this unprofessional and disrespectful. This administration is indeed shockingly “controlling”. I was surprised that the ultra-liberal Helen Thomas was being tough. She usually follows along whichever way the Obama wind(bag) blows. . .
Well…. I would say that the press if gaining a conscience and perhaps realizing that they are being played just like the public. They thought that by enabling Obama they would be on the inside rather than the outside looking in. I feel the winds of change are blowing and Gibbs skirt was caught in the breeze. We got a glimpse of what we were expecting to be Gibbs pink panties, but saw that he had no panties at all. His fat pimply butt was not something anyone wanted to see.
WOW. Gibbs is a JOKE just like the rest of that sorry administration. YOU GO MS THOMAS. FINALLY, some reporter has some balls.
Poor Helen. She’s a little confused by the new format thats all. She’ll get used to the new openess and frank discussion. The new spirit of disclosure has just been too much for her shes a little overwhelmed.
It’s Bush’s fault
The Kool-aid effect is now worn out … Step 2: Extra-Strength Kool-aid, so the Obama press and his sheep will live happily ever after in a dream like stupor.Happy, Happy,Joy, Joy!!!
Hey Bushco morons, did you ever think that Helen Thomas might not be partisan?
Maybe she just calls deceipt and lies no matter who is in office? Suprise!
Every court need a Jester and President Obama is supplying us with one. The journalists should go back and review the History books and see the fate of the Media who betrayed their ethics and instead of served The Truth deceived their fellow citizens. They will be judged very harshly. But in the meantime we all have The Manufacture News Inc. as the journalistict source of information. The Media are portraying themselves as a bunch of weak and impotent bunch,incapable to extract any decent information of Mr.Gibbs. By the way Mr.Gibbs is being paid with the tax payer money.He is a servant of the american people. where is the base for all his arrogance?
Praise GOD. I was wondering when our press would turn against this White House. Everything our president does is more scripted than any I have ever seen. From going out for ice cream to playing basketball Obama is living by the media. In the end this will destroy him. The process began a few weeks ago with the planted question from a reporter. Within days of this event things began to turn against Obama. It will get worse(or better??) from here on out. Obama’s poll numbers are steadily falling and I for one am glad. Maybe we can stop his socialist runaway train.
Bears repeat from earlier post:
“It took Helen Thomas this long to realize every appearance by Obama, since the start of the campaign is a carefully staged and choreographed production? Come on Helen, wake up.”
Naive ole haint. Typical Obamabot.
Henrymn writes:”typical right wing reactions. mr. gibbs accurately stated the facts.
when will you people learn you lost the election?”
When will you liberals stop with the “we won, you lost” garbage? Just because the Democrats won the election does not mean they can destroy our nation! Just because YOU won, does not give Obama and his administration the right to rape out nation. Why can you not see what is going on? Can Michael Savage be right? Is Liberalism really a mental disorder? Do you not have ANY common sense?
Helen Thomas better be careful. if she gets too pesky,
Obama will have her transported to one of his soon to be government run,
“End Of Life” facilities,
where she’ll be nonchalantly starved to death!
So apparently, by the far-left’s standards, because they questioned Obama’s administration,
Helen and Chip are both racists! I never would have guessed! How dare anyone in the
mainstream press question the messiah.
This was pre-arranged propaganda intended to make the collaboration between Obama and the mainstream media appear to be much more shallow than it really is. Every thinking person knows that the mainstream media always campaigns for and protects Democrats and liberals and works against Republicans and conservatives. The growing newspaper bailout is part of the reward. Obama doesn’t want Rupert Murdoch to benefit from his opportunity to satisfy the American public because the mainstream media has alienated the public. The newspapers are suffering as a result. This interchange with Helen Thomas was a pre-arranged feint.
One thing that never changes, though– the idiot liberals can never give a straight answer to anything. Just as in this comments section, their response is always “What about Gannon , huh ? What about Gannon ?’ or “What about what so-and-so did back in 1982 ?” Gannon is not the issue here. The Gannon thing was wrong and stupid, and it was exposed as such. Now let’s deal with this issue.
Liberals just talk in circles. Just like Gibbs in the video, pretending he didn’t know what the issue was. Just talk in circles until you can get to the next question.
Maybe the next time we see Gibbs will be when NKorea drops the “BIG ONE” on America.
Now if only the press would do a story about this. It has been going on since the beginning of obamao’s campaign. Ever seen him speak off the cuff? He can’t, he’s a great reader, that’s why everything is on a teleprompter. He’s a dangerous clown, same as hugo chavez, fidel castro and the rest of his tyrant croonies. Go to hell barry!
Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin for being “confused, disoriented, (and) unable to answer questions.” That sounds like a pretty weak excuse when he still has Gibbs on his payroll.
There’s no “town hall”. . . those “questions” are being asked by paid professional actors. The whole meeting was written, screenplayed, directed, and edited. It’s win, win. . . . . we gain respect from the rest of the world when they see that our leader has an intelligent answer to everything, and the public is at ease when they see that our young inexperienced President is on his game and knows exactly what he’s doing. If we could just find a better way to hide that teleprompter.
Please people don’t get overly excited. So Thomas decides to make it look like she is actually a journalist. I don’t buy it. It is great that the media are controlled because it proves that they are collectively too ignorant to realize it. I watched Gibbs once a long time ago and decided right then that I didn’t need my blood pressure raised by an arrogant goon. How I wish for Dana Perino, a clear headed, precisely speaking type who never hemmed and hawed when asked questions. As for the rest of the so called news organizations, I hope they all go kaputt the sooner the better.
There was never a doubt in my mind that they would try to “control” the process. Snarky Gibbs is laughing now, but he should be on the list when the traitors to this country are rounded up.
“That is absolutely DEAD ON. Watch Ritchie Daley on the rare occasions he gets a grilling from the press- what you do is pretend you aren’t comprehending a really simple concept and keep answering a question that isn’t being asked. It also helps if your head turns bright red. But that is right out of the Daley school of media control.”
^Correct analysis above. (the New World Order Left/Right criminals KNOW what they are doing, and they say “like it or we’ll release dirt on you, and you’ll be poor”.)
FINALLY !!! It won’t be long now. The press will start to turn, and then maybe we can
get some more change in 2010,and return to sanity.
Over 8000 pages of bills since Jan. ! Are you Serious ?
It’s not just going to be us right wing extremeists that will be losing all of our freedoms
you lib dummies !
Never thought I’d say “Bravo Helen” – perhaps there is hope after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is about time the press asked REAL questions. Too bad Gibbs wouldn’t give an answer, then again I didn’t expect that he would. Let us hope this wasn’t the dying whimper of the MSM. It was a good start though to getting back to actually performing their duties.
Scott & Liz are really married and like to steal videos from other sources
Yay Helen and Chip!!!…we’ve seen it out here for awhile…answers with no answers. Yay Free Press!!!!!
After looking at this video I think it is laughable that the press is upset and surprised that the town hall meetings questions are all pre-arranged beforehand. What did they expect from the chosen one? They were in the tank for him. He used them and now he will abuse them. Really, why are they surprised at all of this? It will only get worse. They better watch out, if they get too testy only pre-selected reporters will be allowed at these press meetings. I have to admit it was fun watching Gibbs squirming while trying to weasle his way out of their questions.
We are getting change from President Embalmer. When will we start getting hope?
Gibbs: I can’t answer your question (Helen) “because I didn’t know that you were going to ask a question.” Even the presses’ questions about pre-packaged questions need to be pre-packaged (so they can be ignored).
They can’t handle truly open questions because the teleprompter can’t keep up with impromptu questions. And it has been clearly proven that Obama can’t handle surprise questions without the teleprompter. Conclusively.

FINALLY the press is starting to GET IT. OBAMA is a fraud, bought the election and is ruining this country. If the idot dems let him pass the so call “health care reform bill”… we are all screwed.
Wake up and smell the roses!! Why did they submit an addemdum to the so called “energy bill” at 3:09 a.m.!?!
Hitler looks tame next to this crap!
Did you ever notice that although Gibbs is not very smooth, he thinks he is? Everything this “white” (ha ha ha!) house does is rehearsed. You could tell from way back in the campaign.
What took the media so long to ask?
>Adam July 1st, 2009 – 4:33 pm

More wjite racists against Pres Obama
The lame stream liberal media trying to redeem themselves now is kind of like sending flowers to a woman you raped the night before. Clear the stage, we need new more honest clowns.
Gibbs looks like the lead clown in the Presidents Three Ring Circus
Can you say Joseph Goebbels? This is quite chilling and the press should know better. I hope this is the beginning of the mainstream media’s political sobriety – not holding my breathe but kudos to them; this time.
Good! Now its time for the press to start doing its job and discuss the huge failures of this propaganda filled administration. Perhaps the koolaid is beginning to wear off… Perhaps we can get our government representatives to also start reading the bills before voting on them. Doubt it though…
I have never had any respect for Helen Thomas…..until now.
Do not let these people continue to fool everyone in the Country.
Thank God for the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.
Go get em press!
Helen’s concerned about the “control”? The press controlled information to the public during the election. No hard hitting investigations into Obama’s ties or his beliefs were presented to the public by the main stream press. Now, she’s upset because Obama’s administration is controlling her? Poor Helen. Sounds like she’s finally getting to know “The One”.
Now the Leftist Media knows what it’s like to have worked at Fox News for the last year.
Don’t for one second believe that this is representative of a liberal media turning against mr. hussein or gibbs. All of those so-called ‘reporters’ are not reporters. They are almost 99% in the pocket of mr. hussein. A few little spats that last a whole one minute does not throw up smoke in front of my eyes. I see through their crap. This media in the (w/ a seeming exception being FOXNews) US is unbelievably biased, narrow minded, and unethical. You think you are losing america? It’s already been lost.
Of course the Obama administration is controlling the press – don’t all communist regimes control the press?
But did anyone notice………..Thomas didn’t join the fray until Gibbs said he would take the traditional first question away from her in the next presser? Sad that the onliest principles folks such as Helen Thomas have is dependent upon personal privilege……………..
We’ll see. I’m betting that this incident was just an anomaly that the WH will go behind the scenes and make go away.
How shamelessly disingenuous this Gibbs clown is.
“O shame, where is thy blush?”
-Shakespeare, Hamlet
Isn’t this what the government does in Iran, they control the press. Wow people is the change you wanted? Did you want a supreme leader or a President? Looks like we have ourselves a supreme leader, who will edit and modify the truth to suit their own agenda. By the way, Robert Gibbs is the biggest knucklehead ever to address the press.
Make no mistake..these two will be educated by their superiors this evening. This will be the last we hear on the subject.
The American press have proven themselves unreliable to the American People.
Brian July 1st, 2009 – 7:36 pm
Hey Bushco morons, did you ever think that Helen Thomas might not be partisan?
Maybe she just calls deceipt and lies no matter who is in office? Suprise!
———————-
Yup, even she may be old with one foot in the grave but this time she’s smart enough to figure out that Robert Gibbs and Barack Obama and his socialist party of organized crime is a fraud and a sham only out to destroy this country more than it already is. Bin Bama is only in it for himself and his own political interests, and noone else. He could care less about the rest of us who work for a living and trying to keep our heads above water.
The Press allowed itself to get into this position, of being “controlled” and having things “pre-packaged”. Now they want to complain about it. But look how silent they were over the year before The Divine One got elected? Not one serious pointed set of questions. All the major issues deliberately ignored. Settling for milque-toast answers from BHO on the very few soft-ball things they pitched at him. Only Bill O’Riley dared to ask a few tough ones, and even he did not go for the most pressing matters — no mention of Rev. Wright’s connections with Farakkhan, or the publishing of the Hamas Charter calling for Jewish extermination in his Trinity Church Newsletter. No pushing BHO to say if he ever met with Farakkhan, who factually lives only a couple of blocks away from the OBamas, nor any questions about his Mulsim paymasters when a young man. How does a poor young black man get the money to go to Ivy League colleges, with mediocre grades and no known means of support or official grant-money? Why the chronic hiding of his school grades, his dissertation, his health and medical records, and his birth certificate? Everyone I know who got an advanced degree is proud about it, and shows off their written essays — but not Obama nor his communist wife! No mention about the mass-murderer Odinga, who was photographed with Obama making an election speech on his behalf in Kenya. No hard pressure of any sort, by any one. Everyone deathly afraid to ask the half-black candidate anything that might make them be accused — falsely — of “racism” merely for asking a pointed question. So in recent months we see how BHO feels closer to the Muslim World and loves Muslims more than he loves America or Christians or Jews. He loves the Palestinian butchers and terrorists more than our long-time allies, the Israelis. He loves Ahamedinejad more than he likes the democracy protestors, being shot dead in the streets! He loves the communist tyrant recently kicked out of Honduras, and spits on Honduran democrats. He does the fist-bumb with the communist tyrant Chavez and speaks kindlly about the Castro-boys, but says nothing about the 20,000 summary executions they committed, or the many prison camps where dissenters to communist thuggery rot for decades. Obama is a closeted Marxist and probably Islamic functionary, about whom we know little or nothing of his background, because of a lazy and fawning mainstream media. Today the press complains that they are not being allowed to ask surprise questions, but just what would they ask him if given the chance? “Mr. President, where did you get that beautiful new suit!” “Mr. President, did you do the polka with Mrs. Merkel in Germany?” “Mr. President, will you invite the Iranians to have hot-dogs on the 4th of July?” — Ooops, even that last one would be “too tough” for the White House Press Corps. No wonder such media are going bankrupt. Obama’s policies are a deliberate effort to bankrupt the American economy, and to empower police forces of every kind, to lord over ordinary people’s lives in a hundred ways. They want to snoop into your home to be sure you use only the most “politically correct” light-bulbs, and tomorrow, stomping out the organic food industry and health-freedom movements, which will have NO PLACE in the new “Health Reform” legislation. Except BHO will empower the FDA’s police forces and swat teams to crash down your door if you eat a vitamin pill, or grow corn in your back yard. (Oops, they already are doing that!) WAKE UP AMERICANS!
I understand Al Franken held a seance’ last night to thank the folks who voted for
him. Anyway, I hear a lot of talk about revolution, and discontent with the way
things are in America. Why not set a date to “strike?” Just pick a date, make
sure the date is clear to everyone, and just stay home that day? Don’t shop,
don’t buy gas or anything else. The French do it when they want to express their
anger so we could too! It might get somebodys attention if enough people dissapear
for a day. Just thinking out loud.
I turned on the “news” Monday to get info on Honduras, but all of the major networks were still obsessing over Moonbat Michael Jokeson. Then I flipped it to M(etro)S(exual)NBC and there was some obscenely grinning “journalist” doing a lovefest interview with Robert Gibbs.
The way those two were looking at each other made the Micheal Jackson tripe look appealing by comparison. EWWWWWW!

FIRST TIME YOU HAVE SEEN GIBBS WHERE YOU BEEN UNDER A ROCK? HE IS OUT THERE EVERY DAY!
Did you notice Gibbs’ nervous laughter while trying to deflect the questions from Chip and Helen? Perhaps people are beginning to notice that the idol has feet of clay, hmmm?
Big friggin’ deal!! A few incidents like this one and we’re supposed to get giddy about the Communist loving
press actually asking tough questions of Dictator Obama?Don’t hold your breath waiting for the next one people.
Helen Thomas is the same old leftist loving sea-hag she’s always been.She used to drool from the mouth with glee
at Clintoon press conferences and brought her broom and nasty questions to Bush’s.
Never trust first instincts.They are nothing more than puppets of the far left!
Where was the media during the campaign? We would have found out that this Emperor has no clothes. We will soon find out that our relatives are still out of work, we can’t find a Doctor to help us, our gasoline prices have gone up by 2.5 times and ACORN (and soon to be legal.. illegal immigrants) will control the elections.
What a mess we are in now, with these clowns in control.

Good spelling by Jerome (this uneducated guy and more like him got Obama elected)!
I bet Helen Thomas ‘retires’ soon and CBS Chip gets reassigned. Obama cannot have people like them in the press conferences. Then all the rest of the ‘reporters’ will be reminded to toe the line and shut up.
Journalism is dead.
Obama rapes the Nation like Clinton rapes fat chicks.

When will you liberals stop with the “we won, you lost” garbage? Just because the Democrats won the election does not mean they can destroy our nation! Just because YOU won, does not give Obama and his administration the right to rape out nation. Why can you not see what is going on? Can Michael Savage be right? Is Liberalism really a mental disorder? Do you not have ANY common sense?
————————-
To rephrase Lyndon Johnson: If he’s lost Helen Thomas he’s lost America. We can only hope.
You know, I am a Libertarian/Republican who worked on Capitol Hill from ‘89 to ‘94. My wife is a Dem who worked on the Hill at the same time. Helen Thomas is salt-of-the-earth, and is one of the true journalists left in D.C. Good for her at calling this.
When you have a president that says in public he won’t go a highly rated network for any reason, tells me the guy is a phony, with plenty to hide, who can’t stand hard questions and is a egomaniac with all the signs of a sociopath.
Did anyone notice today at the Health Deform Sales pitch show that he didn’t remeber the womans name who had all the problems and had to ask her again for her name? That is a major failure in PR business, remember their names or act like you do. Kinda of a small thing but interesting at the same time. More windows opening on the Messiah and regime.
Gibbs is an arogant, patronizing putz! I can’t stand to look at the guy.
The entire administration is a disgrace. Welcome to ObammyWorld.
Remember how bad McClellan was for Bush? Why do presidents pick such complete fools as their spokesmen?
Anyone suspect that Toes got on the horn to Chicago?
Helen, if anyone comes knocking on your door wearing a White Sox cap, don’t answer!!!!
Oh my gosh- staged questions!! Sin upon sin. I think we all need to take a vacation to Argentina with Sanford. Maybe a few other members of the lie about war moral right can join us. ( Oops- I guess a lot of them already been there- done that). Nothing like a good ole republican orgy. But please- no staged questions!
Obama and his clone-like empty headed cronies are going to send this country down the crapper. Stop treating and protecting this guy like an infant. He’s nothing but a slimey, deceptive politician that craps all over the constitution. Say your prayers people, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
When Helen Thomas says, “We have NEVER had that in the White House!”, listen carefully: Someone lets out a very nervous laugh. To me, it sounds like a guilty laugh, where the person is shocked at hearing “that-which-must-not-be-spoken”. It’s like in a classroom when an insolent, smart-mouthed kid embarrasses the teacher with some personal insult that everyone knows is below the belt. As most of the class sits in stunned silence, one kid – who’s thinking, “I can’t believe what I just heard!” – lets out that same nervous laugh. I think Barry is in big trouble. There’s a leak in the White House Press Corps. But this kind of leak brings down dams and lets loose reservoirs of pent up reporting.
This was likely a one-time occurrence, a “gotcha” due to ruffled feathers. Behind-the-scenes negotiations will put a quick end to this type of revolutionary spontaneity.
OBAMA must go, along with all the other liberals that are working against the American people. Gibbs must really feel embarrased, trying to cover all the lies in the White House. Beware of the Evil Eye…..Jesus said; you will know them by there fruit. Obama does not like you or care about you.
OMG, i’m having my wife come in here and watch this. A white house reporter asking Gibbs, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ! And a follow up, and another, and then Helen “crypt keeper” Thomas chimned in. This is priceless. This is Historic. Mark yur calendars people. This may hearld a possible crack in the Obamatards media shields. One can only hope.
MJJ
Way to go Joseph Gerbels, now all you guys need is Frank (who is Chuck?) Luntz!
The honeymoon seems to over officially, its about time!
- Global Warming is fraud at the expense of the taxpayers (well those of us who work and pay taxes).
- Being more concerned with kissing the butts of Chavez, the Castro brothers, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and others.
- His lack of concern about our National Defense (You idiot, we supposedly have a missile from N. Korea aimed at Hawaii and you’re concerned about global warming and universal health care? What a douche)
- His universal healthcare “plan”.
- Bailouts to his buddies and they still go under.
- My tax money going to support Unionized labor organizations that are destroying our country.
- The stupidity of teachers and under-educating and brainwashing that continues to go on in our public school systems.
- More welfare and “benefits” to those who refuse to work and will continue to live off the government nipple.
- Illegals “rights”.
- 1st and 2nd Amendments of the Constitution which he is trying to dissolve
- Undermining our troops and in his own way, spitting on those who either served or who are serving now.
- His radical (and racist) agendas.
- Baby killings
- Re-implementation of the death/estate tax.
- Kissing the butts of Chavez and the Castro brothers and other foreign dictators.
He’s spent more of our hard-earned tax dollars in his first 6mths than W did in his last 4 years. I guess people are too ignorant to figure this out. Maybe if they get their heads out of their butts and come back to reality.
I smell socialism in the air……………….Thanks Bin Bama!
Your ratings are starting to tank and that is not from one partisan media source. Can’t you smell your stupidity in the air? You’re stupid enough to make Cheney appear to have more than a couple working brain cells.
Great questions from the late Helen Meyers and Chip Reid…
…and don’t forget Stuart Smalley and his buddies at ACORN stealing the Senate seat in that pansy-a$$, tree-hugging state to the north. Who in their right mind would vote for that guy? Oh yeah, the crazy libs…
Chip and Helen had better watch their mouth!! This stuff can be dangerous.If they`re lucky they`ll just get a dead fish from Rahm Emanual.Or they could come up missing(chicago style)
It’s not a matter of “we won, you lost.” The fact is, we all lost…and we’ve been losing for a while. Why you thought Obama was a White Knight is a mystery to me. Fine, you ousted Bush (who was leaving anyway) and you stopped McCain (despite his infinite short-comings and ridiculous VP nominee). In case you haven’t realized, Obama just another politician who doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground. (In fact this president knows less than the last one…isn’t that a scary thought?)
And to think…if we weren’t getting enough hope from Obama, we now have Al Franken. Yes indeed! America is certainly primed to see her finest hour.
Even the sell out leftist media has realized that obama and his pack of criminals are frauds.
Bravo, Helen. I hope you and your fellow brave journalists will continue to debate and explain to the White House what a press conference for the journalists is supposed to be. Open, transparent, honest, impromptu, free speech and questions. Not selected questions previously stated, but direct immediate questioning with real answers. This is the worst White House coverage ever. Helen said it and hopefully the press will begin to wake up. They are being played like a violin.
Helen Thomas really chewed him out. Of course she thought she was talking to Eisenhower’s press secretary at the time.
Time for the pitch forks and torches….Oh yeah, and rope, lots of rope.
By the way, it seems pretty evident this whole thing was scripted. I’m sure Helen and Chip were in on the whole thing.
I liked the fly swatting incident. I thought the reporter was going to hop on Obama Husseins leg and start humping it he was soooooo excited. Let’s not forget that Chris Matthews has a chill running up his leg. So many of these so called fair and balanced dooshbag reporters have it so far up Obama they can taste his intestines.
Robert “Dilbert” Gibbs, what a clown.
Can you all guess what today is? Let me give you a clue. People have been hovering over their Section 8 mailboxes for the last couple days. It’s the 1st of the month and the government nipple is out to feed the greedy, lazy and unemployed at tax-payer expense.
Yes, you’re right folks. It’s MOTHER’s DAY! First of the month.
The stores and parking lots are all packed. The watermelons and greens have been fully stocked. Thanks to Obama and his left-wing cronies, they had to double-stock merchandise so us middle & working class can support the lazy and unemployed momma’s with multiple kids while all the baby’s daddys are in jail!
Now, now, meeee. No reason to be upatriotic, is there?
Looks like the propaganda department at the white house is starting to crack.
The OBAMAs are wrong for the AMERICAN people…….
Steve, remember this:
O-ne

Some people are never satisfied, first they whine about Mr. Obama’s dependence on the teleprompter, now they complain about memorized answers to planted questions. Which way do you want it? The President has a lot on his mind and really shouldn’t have to give answers about every little thing. Lighten up Midnight!
Well, it’s been six months……..and HE is awakening the Sleeping Giant more and more each day with his actions. Do all you can to stifle him until 2010 when we get the power back to the Americans.
Adheeb…..”The President has a lot on his mind…….”
Yeah like using US taxpayer dollar to abort kids worldwide. Cold bastard!

This tells you just how manipulative, controlling, pre-packaged, teleprompted, screened and filtered this administration is when the press — even Helen Thomas — are turning on their messiah about his complete control over anything and everything that requires him to give an on-the-spot answer. The man is incapable of ad-libbing on any important subject, and will hem and haw his way to in-obscurity if given half a chance. He has made sure that just such a chance will never occur by flexing his presidential muscles and threatening with immediate job termination any staff member who causes or brings about a situation wherein he is required to actually come up with his own answer in real time.
During the campaign, the press were asking McCain/Palin Rhodes Scholar questions, while obama was bombarded with kindergarten questions (and not even questions in the true sense) like, “This day must have been very exhausting for you. How are you holding up?” Yes, this is the stuff Americans needed to know about this complete unknown (thanks primarily to this very same press burying or ignoring everything remotely negative about the man). To say that the press was hypnotized by this Svengali-type figure would be a major understatement. But now that some of his influence is wearing off, we’re actually seeing the glassy-eyed look disappearing in some members of the press, and as they shake the cobwebs out of their head, they are left with this awful feeling in the pit of their stomach that is causing them to ask themselves WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!?!? DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!? And I will tell them that they have made a complete mockery of the free press….a complete and total desecration of the public trust….and are solely and in every respect responsible for duping a very naive, infantile, gullible, morally-bankrupt 51% of the U.S. population into voting someone into the highest office in the land (if not the world) who was and is 360 degrees unqualified for the position!
I can’t believe how stupid Gibbs is. I think it is time for change. Lets get “the one” out of the office and get this train back on its tracks. I am tired of him living out his ideological fairy tale at the expense of my paycheck.
Obama: An ancient Kenyan name, translates to “Jimmy Carter.”
goodnight America…you were great…welcome to fascism Obama style…you’d better learn to keep your mouth shut.

“More wjite racists against Pres Obama” See this is the whole problem. It is always a black or white thing. If you can not see the bull going on you are blind. You see, they must divide before they can conquer. This black/white blame has to stop. Can’t you see what is going on? Take the blinders of “racism” off and really look at what is happening. “Cap and Tax” will put hundreds of thousands of people in the poor house. Unemployment will be more than 15%. I don’t need the government telling me what I can drive and how long I can cool or light my home. I don’t know about you, but I also do not want the government involved in my healthcare or the healthcare of my family. They are much to incompetent. Pelosi has to go, Reid must go and anyone else that wants to rule my life. Enough is enough. Republican or Democrat, I don’t care. Do the job WE THE PEOPLE elected you to do or get out. Enough of working for your own agenda. When election time comes, you will see the will of the people done. You work for US!!!
Hapscan,
You couldn’t have said that any better.
Loved it! Keep working at this, Breitbart, you’re onto something, I tell you.
And seeing Helen Thomas getting in this, and Gibbs giggling, sooooooo! authentically amused! my – good job.
Ha….It’s about time the Libs wake up to the pompous, arrogant, and now clueless Gibbs. “How about we do this…I’ll let you ask me the first question tomorrow as to whether you thought the questions of the town hall meetings…” Duh….Gibbs must really think the grilling reporter is dumb…but wait….here come Helen Thomas finally siding with a true public forum!!! Did anyone catch Gibbs’ expression when Helen agreed with the reporter?? (classic moment)
You go Helen- Grill the Gibb!!
The worst Press Secretary for the worst President. Gibbs has zero integrity, and the clueless Communist Chairman Maobama is even worse.
Increased government control and ownership, reduced individual liberties, rejecting Christianity, punishing taxation, eschewing democracies and embracing dictatorships, and of course restricting any criticism of Obama’s dictatorship.
Thank you Helen — it is shocking. But what took you so long to realize that this, like most everything of BHO’s reign of terror, is shocking?
oilfieldandproud,
According to Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, ACORN, ACLU, and NAACP, it will always be a Black thing. Those people and groups are racist enough to make the KKK appear sane. There will never be equality.
I’m sure MLK would be turning in his grave if he knew what these “elistists” have done to make a mochery of our country. I suppose the “I have a dream” speech no longer exists. I still think it’s funny yet hypocritical, disgraceful, and distasteful how certain individuals compare Obama to MLK. There is no comparison. All I can say is that at least one of those two people cared, somewhat.
Good to finally see the media call the Messiah’s mouthpiece on the carpet.
It’s about time that the press stops sucking up to these people and realize that it is their jobs and their reputations that are on the line as well, in giving this administration a pass on every hard question to date! When all of our other freedoms are gone, do they really think that their “freedom of the press” will remain intact?! Not only NO, but HELL NO! In order to accomplish their leftist agenda, the Obama administration will destroy every and all opposition, not just the Republicans and talk radio. Real journalism is DEAD! The question is, can it be resusitated and win back the respect and confidence of the American people? They have a long row to how, but the above video gives me hope that they may be waking up.
Ring-Ring!! This is your wake-up call, journalists!

You guys crack me up. Bush was king of prescreened town halls. All that is happening is that they are looking through questions off the internet, inviting people who’s questions are selected, and letting them ask the question. Yeah Helen, this hasn’t been done before because the use of the internet in this way hasn’t been done before.
Can you imagine if they just allowed any crazy question from the internet source to be asked? They’d probably have to bleep it a few times.
Now listen to it again you complete idiot – it’s not about screening the emails- it’s about inviting only those people you want into the meeting to be able to ask the questions – rather than opening it up truly tot he public. Oh and you CAN screen questions for stupidity like (boxers or briefs) without telling the President what they will be? or can’t you comprehend that either???
Time to call in Brian Williams to genuflect, worship, and otherwise herd the sheeple back to their proper place.
Well, as the state controlled media is being pounded by the public for its complicity with the administration, for the numerous staged news conferences and town hall meetings, they are finally trying to appear objective, by questioning Gibbs. I believe however, that it won’t last, as the Obamaites will quickly put them back in place. WELCOME BIG BROTHER.
I tend to be skeptical on this press episode. At first it looks like the press may be finally getting it. It just may all be a ploy to counteract the charge of the press being in the tank for Obama. Someone posted earlier that the people on this site are racists because of the anti Obama remarks. Well if caring about our country and the ideas that it was founded on makes me a racist, then I am a racist. That racist commentary is a lot of BS. I am tired of hearing that charge. It is BS that people who can’t argue logically use to cover their ignorance. Most of them are ignorant. They voted for the great one because they are lazy and want a government that takes care of them from cradle to grave because they are too stupid or lazy to take care of themselves.
Robert P.,
I think the reason he wants to eliminate the “Freedom of the Press” and the “Fairness Doctrine” is because Obama knows the Liberal media can’t hack having their own talk shows. Remember Air-head America went bankrupt and they can’t keep their ratings high enough to have sponsors funding them. Liberal radio shows can’t stay above water and that is why they have the Huffingcrack Post, Oprah, and the NY Times dishing out their dirty laundry.
I am hereby throwing my hat into the ring to be White House Press Secretary. I work my a** off, just lost my job, am well educated and understand the issues. I’m conservative but would do a better job of protecting the President’s ridiculous, hypocritical positions than Gibbs does.
GEORGE BUSH DIDN’T CARE IF PEOPLE HAD HEALTH INSURANCE. DIDN’T CARE ABOUT CURES FOR DISEASES SUCH AS DIABETES AND PARKINSONS. THINK HOW FAR ALONG SCIENTISTS WOULD BE TO SOLVING A CURE FOR CANCER IF BUSH ALLOWED FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH. IT ISN’T THE PRESIDENT’S RIGHT OR ANY MAN’S RIGHT TO CONTROL A WOMAN’S BODY AS IN THE CASE OF ABORTION. YOU DON’T LEAD A COUNTRY LIKE A MAN OF THE CLOTH LEADS A CHURCH!!! GEORGE BUSH LIED ABOUT GOING TO WAR WITH IRAQ AND EVERY SERVICE MAN AND WOMAN’S DEATH SHOULD BE ON HIS HANDS. IF YOU DIDN’T AGREE WITH BUSH ON SOMETHING YOU WERE FIRED. HE WAS A BULLY AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL AS IN THE GOVERNMENT HE LED. THANK GOD WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO LISTENS TO EVERY OPINION AND ARGUMENT BEFORE MAKING A DECISION. A PRESIDENT WHO BELIEVES IN EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!! A PRESIDENT WHO IS TRYING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT TO GET AMERICA BACK ON THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY AND TO GETTING AMERICA’S GOOD NAME RESTORED ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
Georgewobama,
I agree. It is still the 1st of the month. The Obama butt-kissers are still out exchanging their monthly government handouts for food and liquor instead of trying to defend themselves here.
MAYBE PEOPLE WILL FINALLY WAKE UP AND LOOK AT ALL THESE LAWS THEYRE PASSING IN THE DARK OF NIGHT, THESE LAWS ARE FOR GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT OF ALL PEOPLE DEM OR REP IT DONT MATTER. EPA ADMITS THAT NOTHING TO GLOBAL WARMING AND SILENCED SEE http://WWW.WND.COM STOP THE CLIMATE BILL NOW!! IT PASSED HOUSE…STOP THIS BILL!!!ITS FAKE TAXATION ON STEROIDS EVERYTHING WILL DOUBLE IN PRICE NO JOBS ONLY THE FEW GOVT. JOBS REST STARVE. 200.00 POWER BILL COULD GO TO 600.00, HOW HE PLANS TO KILL COAL, IT;S 40% OF OUR POWER SUPPLY . NOW ITS FILLIBUSTER PROOF= DEMOCRAT RULE…GOD HELP US
Gibbs high and mighty laugh off the question did not go over well. I did not vote for Obama but would respect the fact there was transparence if there really was. Heck, we have bills passing that no one has read, including the biggest tax ever in the Cap and Trade bill. I hope the press gets back to presenting both sides on issues like they used to. Today was a good start.
Barb, are you serious?
Obama let down the students in Iran, he is letting down the democratic people of Honduras, I wonder what he would have done if Zelaya had forcefully taken over the Democratic government in Honduras ABSOLUTELY NOTHING yet he is trying to placate a socialist by sending him back into office, and the next step is suppressing the press domestically we are headed down the slippery slope its great to see the veterans in the White House press corps beginning to wake up.
When Helen (I never met a wacky liberal cause I didn’t like) Thomas complains, you know something stinks in Denmark. The press allowed this administration to run roughshod over the truth and now those self-same clowns are not happy the White House doesn’t take them seriously. The irony would be delicious, if it weren’t so very sad.
BARB July 1st, 2009 – 9:45 pm
Barb, you’re an idiot now sit down and shut up! If you had even 1/2 of a brain you would realize that Mr. Bush spent more helping Africa in the fight against AIDS than ANY sitting President to date, ANY.
People like you give the word ‘human’ a bad name. America’s name is fine when we don’t listen to people like you. If you hate it here GTFO.
I sure as hell hope you cannot reproduce………..
Please tell me I woke up in a parallel universe. In the one I am supposed to live in Obama is only running around loose in Kenya.
Nice Press Conf. What is gonna be so funny is that when the press is censored or shut out and silenced it will be at the hands of the guy they put in office, vs. the previous President that they were so sure was out to hush up the press. :D Its been said before, but they should have done their job far sooner and press Obama harder when he let slip his real plans vs. hounding a plumber that did the media’s job.
Or running up to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin….and they still do it now even though she ain’t in office.
If it weren’t so sad, it would be down right funny. I need to watch these things from now on with pop corn.
Barb,
Did Osama Bin Bama pay you to scream such ignorance? If you believe all that crap you just said, too bad Bin Bama’s momma didn’t use the coat hanger on him. You must be one of those feminist pieces of trash who think the world owes you something.
I hope you enjoy Socialist party of stupidity. Bin Bama is not really all that great. Look at 3/4 of the population who voted for him and they are now getting their heads out of their butts and realizing that he is making W and C appear to have more than a couple brain cells. Even the media is finally figuring out what a loser this guy is. Lock him in Gitmo with his buddies.
BARB….what planet do you live on? If that question is a bit difficult, how about this one….Can you for once, even if it is for a day, take off your blinders, take out your ear plugs, and open your eyes to what “really” is going on instead of what you “hope” or what to “believe” is going on?
It just amazes me that people refuse to wake up and enter the world of reality! I guess I can thank Green Man Gore for inventing the Internet and making all the fantasies that come with it so easily available and ‘realistic’!!!
Voting for Obama was the biggest mistake of my life.
The Obama admin. are corrupt, greedy, and distrustful. Not one thing Obama said in the campaign about openess and transparency has happened. Gibbs caught in a very funny display of “state control” of the media. This American middle class person fed up with the disregard for those with a difference of opinion. Dems will pay the price.
It’s time for his resignation. Too incompetent!
@Barb
Bush cared about you controlling more of your own money.
Tax cuts, trying to push for 2% of your Social Security taxes being put into an account you manage and own and can pass on to your heirs.
Also seems like Bush cared about the same things in Iraq that Obama is going on about now…..
He sure didn’t sound like that a year ago. :D
I know I posted this before but i’ll do it again:
“Resist Socialism………Chains you can believe in”.
“10 out of 10 Terrorists Prefer Democrat”.
Those are two bumper stickers I have. The first one is on the back of my car. The second I am debating because I have to occasionally drive my car onto a military installation.
No….if we allow “public forums” to continue in the manner that Obama and Gibbs wish them to go then it’s not only the Dems that will be paying the price….it’s going to be all American’s paying the price!
Damn…when is the press and the public going to wake up and begin challenging this administration!!??
Gibbs also tells Thomas he does not control the press, then says he is controlling them badly. He admits to attempting to control them. He is completely flummoxed, even more than usual because they wen off the script. There will be retribution.
This guy is a complete idiot. When are the dems in this country going to see through the lies of this administration.
This can’t be true. Our liberal press committing a flagrant act of real Journalism? Daddy O-Bam is not going to be happy with them.
I absolutely love most of the comments written so far. What I can’t figure out, we knew he was a radical lunatic that hates America before being elected, HOW could ANYONE vote for him? did they have their head in the sand, or just because he was a black man?
Amazing that for all the people who hated Bush with a passion, their excuse is…Bush did it too! WAAAAA
Let’s see how long it will take Gibbs to give the evil eye to reporters or to the people at their so called “public forum” meetings!
It’s time we stop looking into those eyes!!
BARB,
Yea, Bush caused 9/11, hurricane Katrina, all the diseases, conflicts, and problems of the world. How ignorant of you. Every President in history fired people in their administrations. Bush did care if people had health insurance but because of politics (the Democrats) he could barely get legislation passed. His personal beliefs have nothing to do with the abortion issue as it is law. America was respected as a strong and mighty superpower. Now we have a president that apologizes for everything, is bringing us down the path of Socialism/Marxism, is nationalizing everything, has our adversaries, ie., No. Korea and Iran laughing in our faces for our inept foreign policy, China wanting to use other currencies other than the dollar, a major recession on our hands as he prints money with nothing backing it and a multi trillion dollar deficit that will cost our children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren more hardship than one could imagine as they have to pay off this crazy spending. The man has NO idea what he is doing. His stimulus package is a pay back to the unions that hasn’t created jobs and his bailouts will bankrupt the country along with his cap & trade and health insurance ideas. I could go on and on but you liberals are so narrow minded that your only response would be to call one a racist.
CA_Storm,
Soon his efforts to dissolve the “Fairness Doctrine” and block “Freedom of the Press” will include blogging sites that bash him or his people. Apparently he doesn’t have the support he thinks he has. Even the most left-wing news shows are reporting his ratings are starting to tank, miserably. Let’s keep in mind that his own party, which have had control over the House and Senate since 2006, even rates in the single to low double-digits, which were much lower than W’s. But they’re too blindsided and brainwashed to figure that out.
Hopefully, as our economy tanks people will wise up to the American communist movement. I thought that slavery, to make slaves out of working people, to give working people’s money away to the poor, and politically connect who stuff their pockets, was reprehensible. I mean, it’s slavery for the middle class which is going bye-bye. Wait till we have 300% energy taxes, and double-digit inflation. Hope you boys are buying solar panels and woodstoves, now, while you have the chance.
Best regards, mensunion.org
Helen will probably get a visit from some Acorn thugs, er, representatives.
Big Tom,
Could you please scream that for Barb so she can understand what you said? You might have to remind her to turn her hearing aids on.
BARB – the road to prosperity is only for the Government, he is ruining it for everyone else!
(and he sure knows how to BAD mouth us to other countries!)
Barb: “A PRESIDENT WHO IS TRYING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT TO GET AMERICA BACK ON THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY AND TO GETTING AMERICA’S GOOD NAME RESTORED ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!” WHO, IN GOD’S NAME, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????? CERTAINLY NOT THAT IDIOT OBAMA!!! HE IS ANTI-AMERICAN!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!
How could so many voters not have seen this coming? The BHO Chicago-style machine is now in full operation, doing exactly what those of us who refused to drink the kool-aid knew it would. May God help us.
I’m guessing Barb ran run her yap but can’t take the heat. Come on Barb, try and defend yourself. You’ve already proven yourself blindsided and brainwashed by this crackhead administration and his king and queen rulers.
@meeeee
I’m sure you know that the scariest part of all this is that the House has had low approval # for a very long time now, but they seem to remain in their positions!!! How the hell does that happen. I would have been fired from my job 200 x over if I were performing as poor as the House.
BTW….I’m not really bashing Obama….I’m just trying to bring to light a different perspective to what is currently being said by the people who cannot (refuse) open their mind’s so they can learn how to be “free thinkers” instead of robots.
You can take away my freedom of movement, or my freedom of speech, BUT NO ONE can take away my free flowing thoughts!!!
Maybe Gibbs is trying out for Billy Mays job.

“Michael Jackson’s videos were less choreographed than Barry’s public appearances.”
Excellent!
Check out Yuri Bezmenov’s 1985 interview on U Tube or Google video. A defected former KGB agent, much of what he says was the KGB plan for taking over countries from within fits today. The fact our President never showed a real birth certificate like the rest of us have to do, makes me wonder all the more. There is clearly someone or something behind the fully broad and highly coordinated moves of the Left, which deserve to be called what they really are, communists. Who’s money threw the futures market to make the price of oil so high it would hurt the economy, then after enough damage was done started pulling out even before the November election? Did the Russians ever really stop the KGB efforts in America? What power is coordinating such a flurry and press of activity to take over our nation?
BARB – the only road to prosperity is for the Government. he’s ruining it for everyone else.
(he’s pretty good at bad mouthing us to other countries!)
More failure, deception and diversion from this pseudo-presidency. Thanks for nothing democrat voters.
Thank God..Its about time the media did their job… Helen you ruled the day!!
What I found most amazing was the absolute silence from every other reporter in the room. WOW spooky are they really that afraid of this administration to ask the appropriate questions. If we did not have the carreer veteran reporters weather left,middle or right and a bunch of new blood on the White House Press Corps what would happen than. I think you will see future questions being asked of obscure White House press corp reporters which can be manipulated by the adminstration.
I can’t wait for Gibbs to quit so I can read his book.
The press has been drunk on the Obama cult of personality and in bed with this administration long enough. The party is over. The Obama-buzz has worn off. Dawn has broken. Now they’re awake in bed, and married to an ugly broad with a bad attitude!
How upsetting is it that it takes an afront against “journalistic purity” to wake up the media about the blatant manipulation of this administration against free speech.
its worse then most people know, the questions are submitted screened and goes on the Teleprompter with obamas answers, and that’s why he says “next question” instead of picking reporters. like the way they did it in the bush days, otherwise obama goes back to answering questions with “uhh ohhh ahhh uhmmm ahhh uhhh etc…
Everybody was so eager to get Obama in the white house that they wouldn’t pose a hard question or do a thorough background check on him. Now we are learning that Obama is an idiot who can’t speak about politics without a teleprompter or a prepared speech. He is a puppet of the power hungry guys in the background. Even the press is finally tiring of giving him prepared questions. Thank goodness! I was getting scared that we were turning into the Soviet Union, and allowing the government to shove propaganda down our throats. Shame on America for falling for the blinding spotlights on Obama. We have given a politician an inch and he took a mile. And now we’re surprised. And we have only ourselves to blame.
CA_Storm,
Very true and I’m in complete agreement with you.
Most of us who are leaving posts probably work jobs where our employment status, salaries, and bonuses are directly dependent upon job performance. Most states also have “At Will” employment laws which gives the rights of employers to let you go at anytime, with or without reason but it is rarely used because of lawsuits, discrimination, and other factors.
Maybe the people of America should create a performance based matrix that will either boot or cut salaries and bonuses of the morons in Washington who are supposed to represent us. And we shouldn’t have to wait until election day. Yes it is a costly process to oust, recall, or impeach a high-ranking government official, but it might be tax money worth spent.
Better yet, why not make all all those people in Congress start paying for their own health care, pay into Social Security, and make them work 20 years just to be eligibile for a retirement packge. I have to do that with my employer and I have to do all that with the Military. Why not members of Congress all the way up to the White House level? A good start would be eliminating career politicians and start setting term limits on them. I bet that would help solve some problems and rid us of the thieves and liars, and frauds. We need some fresh blood.
However, I am not qualified to be a politician because I’m not a liar, I won’t cheat you, I am not an alcoholic, drug addict, I would never cheat on or beat my significant other, I’m not a murderer (or baby killer like Barb), I support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, I’m not embarrassed to fly my American flag, etc… You get the idea…………
@Gerry
Careful with the stereotype….it’s not an “ugly broad” that we’re married to or in the office…. :)
This charade administration is unraveling before our very eyes. Seems like the house of cards is starting to fold. The only thing transparent about this administration is obama’s plexiglass teleprompter. I’m so glad to see the press finally do their job. I might have to go and subscribe to a newspaper if this keeps up.
Go Helen!!! Totally rocks.
Obama is also, on top of everything else, giving away BILLIONS to the International Monetary Fund, so they can give OUR tax money to bail out foreign banks!!!
Gerry, were you talking about Michelle or Hillary being an ugly broad with a bad attitude?
Any American Patriot, Liberal or Conservative, should be outraged by what is going down in this new Socialist Dictatorship. Most of the press has been bought out, and those that havnt, their voices are being stifled. Total power and control in absolutely every aspect of our lives is the order of the day! The President promised a new “openess of government”… WHAT A HORRIBLE JOKE! Its the most conniving and corrupt administration in our countrys history! And its only getting worse from here.
What I find amusing is the fact that Helen is receiving all the kudos but it was Chip Reid that charge of the moment….
Kudos need to go to Mr. Reid.
Correction:
What I find amusing is the fact that Helen is receiving all the kudos, but it was Chip Reid that took charge of the moment.

Wow! Great job Helen! For once I agree with her. I hope this pattern continues. If Obama and his cronies upset enough of the press maybe the same people who rooted for him and got him elected will finally turn on him and expose him for the fraud he is.
Peter Courtenay Stephens July 1st, 2009 – 5:37 pm
It isa unfortunate that our milliary is not as brave as the Honduras millitary.
It could be, but to what end? Next in line we have Biden and Pelosi.
Oh, Gibbs answering a question? Hey, I’ve never seen that.
Helen Thomas for WH press sec!
Earth to Uranus!!!! Barb, where are you? Please don’t be scared to come and attempt to defend yourself.
Earth to Uranus!!!!
Helen Thomas has been a thorn in the side of EVERY administration…She was particularly effective during Nixon’s term…Regardless of the party in power, she has been concise and insightful, honest….and embarrassing for the administrations…throughout her career. And she is feared by the politicians, who have always wished she would just go away. We are lucky to still have her!
Weaver, you are making me choke, I am laughing so hard!
>>Extra! Extra!
Reid and Thomas escorted to Black Room
Does Baghdad Bob come to mind for anyone else?
Between the ever-present teleprompters and the selected questions, this is becoming the most un-open and least transparent administration that I can remember. Thank God the reporters are beginning to stop acting like sheep.
I just had to look up something on Helen Thomas. She was born 4 August 1920. For a woman of almost 90 and who has been doing coverages since JFK, she still has a spark.
I am amazed to CBS and Helen Thomas, or all people, stand up to the idiot Gibbs and call the Administration out! Usually, when that smug fool in the pink tie starts giggleinglike a school girl the press knowsit has gone too far and obligingly shuts up or changes the subject. What is going on here then? Why, after a solid year and a half of being nothing but a bunch of sycophants to Obamnts, are they standing up to him? Do they sense a change in the wind? Or perhaps they are finally, FINALLY starting to act like real Journalists? I will believe it when I see it more then once, and onyh on a sustained basis.
No way will they keep the heat on Our Great and Merciful Dearest Leader. No Friggin’ Way.
Thanks to all who have postged here. You give me hope.
The hubris of these people! The absolute arrogance! If any press secretary or WH staffer had been so impudent and argumentative under any administration he or she would have been tossed. But Gibbs reflect the narcissism and arrogance of his boss, Emanuel, Axelrod and the rest of the Chicago crew.
meeeee…..I commend you on you idea of having the graft taking, idiots in Washington pay into Social Security, work for a specific number of years, (20-25 yrs.) for a pension and pay into a regular health insurance program, similar to those that the average American has, but these elitists are smarter than us as they now tell us via legislation, what we can say, eat, drive and use. Unless we wake up and realize that this country, populated by lazy, uneducated people who want us through government to pay for everything for them and look at Obama and the rest of his party in Washington as gods, it will only get worse. What is happening now is a Obamination.
It’s about time the media started giving the hapless Gibbs a run for his money.
Article featured on Drudge, headlined, “Which Al Franken will show up in Washington, from MYWAY. Obviuos and correct answer, the qu*er, communist one.
Of course the questions are staged – how else would Mr. Teleprompter know what strings to pull on the Obama puppet.
The administration has struck again. While everyone has been commenting on Gibbs and the press, ABC just announced that they scrapped John Stossel’s critical piece on Obama’s health insurance plan in favor Michael Jackson coverage. Obama’s marching orders have been sent to ABC, and, of course, they obliged.
It is about time that American and the media wakes up and see that this administration is all about control . . . controlling us all. How is that “change” doing for you now?
The legitimate voters of America are no longer represented by Congress. They are now taxed without representation. The Federal government is out of control and the Constitution is trampled and spit on by anti-america socialist Washington Democrats and Obama and his henchmen. Can America even survive the carnage by the destruction of American traditions and economy that is currently occuring and will continue over the next four years? I don’t think so. This is all going to end badly. God help us.
If only the press had asked real questions of Jugears during the campaign
“THANK GOD WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO LISTENS TO EVERY OPINION. . .”
No, Barb, he is only listening to his socialist handlers, not to us at all.
He came in with an agenda to bring down capitalism fast! He has to, he’s on a
timetable.
He’s bowed to the Saudi king, insulted the queen of England, kissed Chavez,
he’s horrified that the Honduran prez would be kicked out & replaced (that’s
contagious you know), will pull Medicare and move it to the “free” insurance
pile, nationalized banks and a private corporation, will double your taxes to
pay for stuff for those who refuse to work, will triple your utility bills,
has already told California farmers “no water”, tries to fix things that ain’t
broke, will cripple health care, will put more companies out of business (or the
country), will stop free speech on all airwaves, remove guns from legitimate
gunowners. I talk with people all over the world every day, and work next to
others who’ve escaped the crap elsewhere to come to America. They simply can’t
believe what’s going on here, and they too are scared shitless. Wake up.
refuse to work,
We know that his “town meetings” are staged. Why are we, the tax payers, keeping our mouths shut>
Debbie (the plant) was brought in and the hug was sick.
Don’t get your shorts in a wad over this bunch of liberals. They will be right back in lockstep tomorrow.
WE THE PEOPLE Demand indisputable proof Obama aka Soetoro is constitutionally qualified in the first place. Natural Born Citizen as is required by the Constitution. Both parents being US Citizens. His dad was Kenyan. BHO was a citizen of Kenya at birth so his loyalty is not undivided to the US.
Or do we have a Constitution any more? You own GM. We are in a socialist tyranny.
Hope you Obots got what you wanted…
The Greatest Nation on earth…
Change Change Change…
Heading for poverty and oblivion…
This was refreshing. Mr.Gibbs may look innocent and folksy enough, but I read that he is a sharp, behind the scenes political strategist. He’s been an insider and operative with Obama for years. He thinks if he’s just jovial, he’ll get a pass from the press. Au contrare – the media is getting restless and it’s about time. I’m still in shock over that stupid comment last summer by Chris Matthews about hearing Obama “…made him feel a tingle go up his leg.” Tasteless and jarringly partisan. Of course, we had come off 8 years of “W”. Dana Perino was quite an efficient ice queen and pretty unflappable. And like the reporters, I’m tired of our supposed leader using pre-written press questions and pre-assigned town hall meeting people (though, again, Bush & Co. did it too.)
It’s over!!!
Thumbs up big tom. It’s the thought that counts but it would never happen.
I did have a couple other thoughts here but I lost them because I hit the submit button and not put my info in. Damnit.
Gibbs knew exactly what questions were being asked. He was squirming in his silk boxers. Mind control from the most transparent and open administration in the history of the United States…..now say it with me again, the most transparent and open administration in the history of the United States.
Screw the media and their president (NOT my president). They are enemies to Americans. War is coming to our country and these subversives are going to get it handed to them.
Gibbs is a giggling little foolish man. Obama absolutely must have pre-selected pre-screened questions, so his handlers can program the answer into his teleprompter. A unscripted Obama without his pre-written answer on the teleprompter would prove what a empty suit he really is. It is ABOUT TIME the press gets their act together and get up off their knees from servicing the teleprompter in chief and start doing thier jobs!

We’ve gone from really bad (Bush) to worse (Obama). We need to get rid of this self-serving system.
Time for the puppet master (Rahm) and the king maker (Soros) to do some damage control. The fourth estate may be waking up to the fact that BHO is the face but not the brains…
I am amazed to see CBS and Helen Thomas, of all people, stand up to that idiot Gibbs and call the Administration out! Usually, once that smug fool in the pink tie starts giggling like a school girl the press knows it has gone too far and obligingly shuts up or changes the subject. What is going on here then? CBS asks why all of the questions are rigged and wont let it go? Why now, after a solid year and a half of being nothing but a bunch of sycophants to The Bammer. What is driving them to stand up to him? Do they sense a change in the wind? Or perhaps they are finally, FINALLY starting to act like real Journalists? I will believe it when I see it more then once, and only then on a sustained basis.
No way will they keep the heat on Our Great and MercifNo Friggin’ Way.
Thanks to all who have posted here. You give me hope.
Congrats to people who voted for this guy Obama. You have elected the reincarnation of Emperor Nero. His admin is filled with bankers and lobbyists trying to figure out more ways to impose taxes and control over people(americans) whom they think are stupid. We must stop Obama,Gibbs, & co from passing their fascist health care and cap & trade legislation. Wake up people!
What a dancer Gibbs is!
It became apparent months ago that BHO is a very Glib fast talker who had a lot of registered Voters in his poket and uncounted nunber o ACORNS who got their young idol elected. The financial mess along with his wild spending program are leading this formerly great country to a very unhappy demise. I am so pleased that the common folks who are of the so called Generation are going to wake up soon and find ourselves in the poor house. It is very apparent that there is an uprising in the air all over Americathat will put the liberals out of office and replace them with a Group of WISE MEN of the same cut of cloth as were in and around the White House during WW@
CA_strorm, What I find amusing is the fact that Helen is receiving all the kudos, but it was Chip Reid that took charge of the moment.
What is she like 90 before she gets it? If it turns out Barry’s not legit, then Biden is nul and void, and Pelosi is the first female Prez!!!!!

C’mon people, don’t you “get” it. The only problem the White House Press Corps has is the question that was allowed by a Huffington Post blogger. Naturally the “press” didn’t consider this worthy of comment.
Hey, Gibbs!
Where is Obama’s birth certificate?
I’d like to see Obama and Gibbs actually chime in to this posting to try and defend themselves. I’m hoping that Obama will soon have that cranial extraction that he desperately needs.

Looks like the blogging has been shut down on this site.
It’s gonna hit 500 comments shortly…
Pre-packaged questions and you still have to read the teleprompter?
Does he have to use the teleprompter to get excused to go the toilet?
What happend to the brilliance?
I’m kicked off
Someone send the White House a copy of the Emperor’s New Clothes…SOMEONE needs to tell the truth and tell Obama that he has not clothes on…What a plethora of buffoonery.
It has taken this long for any personage(s) of the once established media to ask a probing question? Of course it has. Most of these elitist snobs have long been Obama’s personal tea-baggers. They have by defacto been his personal athletic supporters; i. e., his cup-bearers. They swoon at his appearance and choke back the rush that creeps up their collective legs whenever he utters a word or a sentence; even if, said word or sentence is burdened and replete with the “uhhs,” “and uhhs,” “but I’m’s,” and shallow protestations of sloughed self-criticisms presented as profound witicisms. In short, this megalomaniac has been nothing but a dog and pony show given to us by these same people. And now, they ask why are these questions selected? The answer is simple you fools. Because, you have for years sold out! The more profound question is: at what point will they be silenced by an administration that is ever more imperial and tyrannical in action than any previous.
Helen Thomas opened her mouth and something intelligent finally came out. Even the queen mother of the leftist media recognizes the lack of promised “transparency” in Obama’s administration.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!”
It was only a matter of time before the media came under gov’t control. Now even the dimwitted libs will begin to understand what the revolution was all about.
Gibbs is just like his master:::: Shuck and Jive, Lie and Deny
Notice how reporters sitting behind did not pickup the giggle hints by Gibbs. Usually he starts that silly @ss giggling and the sheep all laugh together, drowning out the offending questioner. Maybe the joke is getting old – at least I hope so.
Just keep those bad reviews coming, maybe they’ll get discouraged and go away. It worked on Bush.
now, about that birth certificate thingy…
I’m proud to see so many comments filled with sense, and very few or no idiotic liberal trolls posing as the “resident intellectual.”
Why are republicans so scared of everything? Just relax and reach for another twinkie.
Gibbs refused to answer the question. Why is Obama now requiring that questions be pre-screened ? Is he afraid that they won’t all be softball questions ? Let’s hope that the media is finally getting wise to ” the organizer “. He’s nothing more than a glorified used car salesman. In fact, he doesn’t even have that much business experience. OPEN YOUR EYES AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
I hope those two reporters don’t get ’sick’ or have an ‘accident’. They should get a secret service detail for themselves & their families just to make sure… Seriously. Dictators don’t like to be questioned. Judging by how our Fearless Leader views the Honduras ‘coup’… let’s just say it’s interesting to be on the same side as Chavez, Castro, and every other Leftist thug in the world.

Reid and Thomas escorted to Black Room
After asking several questions that were not planned or rehearsed by Gibbs, Reid and Thomas were escorted to Black Room. Both were confronted by First Lady Marxist MIchelle Obama. Michelle was quoted as saying,” For the first time in my adult life and my glamourous socialist marxist position, I am not proud of you!!” Reid and Thomas were then giving a hot cup of tea and a book by Lenin. A meter was then placed on their body to determine if they had any light ions that had been omitted on their skin that were not state mandated and questioned then what house they had just came from. Both notified the goons that the light was from their own homes and Geither informed them that their house would be bulldozed. They were hypnotized by President O and told repeatedly that, ” Just words, Just speeches, Never question me or my staff again.” Helen was then put in a back brace and taught to bow to ranking White House staff. Acorn showed up and demanded names of all known kin, co-workers, neighbors and friends. Acorn was seen leaving with the IRS, INS, and William Ayers. Chip and Helen assured President O and Mishelly that someone from RNC was holding their grandchildren hostage and demanded they ask those questions. President Hussein then told the victims,” Its OK, I will take care of you now, I have a new policy to deal with hostage takers, We now talk to them, let them know we want to be friends, u know, let them know that if they are muslim, we Muslim too! If they are pediphiles, we pediphiles too, no problem, ishmail saleeb, mi casa su casa!!” Reid and Helen then bowed and President Obama offered his dog up for them to kiss. Before they left a physical was given by a state run doctor. Helen was first. The doc put a ice cream stick in Helen’s mouth. He looked and with surprise said,” You will die someday, that will be a ten dollar co-pay.” Helen was shocked to see that outside the room over a thousand people had lined up for their physical and she was thankful that she was ahead of the small but impatient gathering. She noticed a sign on the door that read,” We close at 5 if you have a problem call Obama, he will take care of all your needs.” Chip was next.(im laughing so hard). Chip was told to shake the doctors hand with his left and right hand. The Doctor with suprise says,” You have left central brain malfunction, which could be the cause of your wary questions. You see Chip, I am not a real doctor, I didnt have to take all those tests and pass all those classes because enough real doctors quit and retired, they wasted all your money for unnecessary procedures. This stuff is easy. I am prescribing oxycotin for you that will make you not ask them silly questions.” Chip and Helen left in their state issued gowns that read,” State Tested and State Passed!”
Ok, this is progress.. now if we can get some of the O voters to question the Administration, we’ll actually have a
functioning democracy.
You have to love that tough old bird, “NO, we will talk about it NOW…..” God bless her, if she is kicking up a fuss you know the rest of the press will begin to pay attention, she is the grand ole’
Dame of the White House Press Corps……..Long live Helen!!!
I just watched the movie “Ideocracy” and I swear, we are living this movie! This is all one big Presidential reality TV show -a big farce.
On these comment boards we can say “wake up” all day long, but the simple fact is, the greater population is completely ignorant to the reality of this president, the house, the senate and the surreal things they are bringing to transpire.
Billions and billions are bring spent on bills that aren’t even being scanned over, let alone read and debated… There is no defense, beyond ignorance.
It’s not just the repubs are scared. Most of America is starting to get scared because of that freak of nature in the White House who is destroying our great country and taking it further down the toilet than it was before. He’s lived up to his promise of change. Unfortunately, it’s not the good type of change. Then again, he never did say what kind of change he was going for.
Sorry for that last comment, I had my head up my assss though I was talking to my brain.
Obama is a pathological narcissist and cannot stand anyone exposing him for the fraud he is, just look at that accident Joe the plumber. The only transparency in the White House is Obama himself, we see right through him because he is empty. WE ARE IN TROUBLE IF WE DO NOT GET HIM OUT!!!! Hell, even Hillary sees it and that is saying something.
The answer is simple. Hussein O’Biden, ACORNholio of the United States, is repeatedly violating the constitution, taking actions in the order: Fascistic Action, Socialistic Action, Repeat. There IS NO FREE SPEECH OR PRESS under a totalitarian regime. Silly reporters, THIS IS NOT AMERICA ANYMORE. We’d have to impeach SIX before Bob Gates would be president. Biden, Pelosi, Byrd = the perfect insurance policy of presidential succession. STRIKE!!!!!!!!!
Obama is illegal as Attorney Berg charges which is why all the games the courts and Dem. D.A.s are playing. Being a slime, he runs the administration exactly the same way he lied and cheated his way into the White House with the help of his Acorn thugs, hoodlums and communists friends. Obama hates the nation, the system and is out to destroy it.
IT IS TIME TO ASK THE MILITARY TO INVESTIGATE BERG’S CHARGES. THE MILITARY CANNOT FOLLOW THE ORDERS OF AN ILLEGAL PRESIDENT WHO HATES THE NATION. IF THE CHARGES ARE TRUE AND OBMAMA IS ILLEGAL, THE MILITARY HAS TO FORCE HIS REMOVAL AND ARREST THOSE INVOLVED IN AN ACT OF SEDITION AND TEASON AGAINST THE STATE! I suspect, Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Frank and much of the Democratic hierarchy will be in that group including some Supreme Court Justices!

Poor Gibbs can never give an answer for anything. He just tries to evade and deflect. This is probably how Obama would look without his prompter. Able to give no answers as he has noone feeding them to him!!!
brando’s got electrolytes, its what plants crave.
How sad that it’s taken this long for leftist “journalists” to begin to open their eyes. Duh! Wouldn’t it be FUN if when they are actually in front of BamaBoy they all ask a question that was NOT submitted ahead of time? What if everyone there did it? They’d see Obama stuttering and stammering because he wouldn’t be able to deliver his snake oil — you know, the oh-so-intelligent answer stuff his handlers prepared for him to say that he practiced to sound like he just came up with the answer? These lapdogs are not all of a sudden becoming journalists. They are just miffed that their position is in danger of going from priviledged “friend-of-Obama” to “down-boy, you had better behave yourselves and ask ACCEPTABLE questions.” They are progressives and so, intellectually vacant. Obama knows it and so does his press donkey. It would certainly be nice to see some real journalism on a regular basis, but I’m not holding my breath. In any case, they’d be a day late and a few trillion short.
I didn’t know you were going to ask a question, you were not invited and prescreened with you government supplied que card. You ask me a question tomorrow. We will have a quetion for you tomorrow…if you are still welcome here tomorrow.
Somebody get Gibbs a teleprompter.
He’s eliminating freedom in the US and actively suppressing freedom movements in Iran and Honduras. Between this fascistic socialist’s agenda and the adoration of the drug-addicted pedophile (OJ again?), MLK is most certainly spinning in his grave. Stand up at a tea party, and get ready for a complete STRIKE!
You cannot blame Gibbs or Obama for what we are seeing. If the the Free Press was doing their job and reporting facts instead of their own personnal opinion we would not have a state run press as we see. Did anyone clear these questions with ABC and MSNBC information control Czars? In all seriuosness, I used to belieeve in our press as the bastions of truth and making sure we the people knew what was going on. Now, we have Lemmings leading the way, just watch out for the next turn!
Of course questions to the O are pre-packaged, prepared and rehearsed. Without practice Obama sounds like an idiot, he is unable to think on his feet and blathers pointless nonsense. His glow is even starting to slide with the media, they can only cover ineptitude for so long……funny to see the few liberal faithful still trying to defend him on websites, but they are no longer calling him the messiah, they are now turning to the tired old offensive of trying to attack those who point out the truth.

Wow – you go girl! I’m proud of our press today!!!
How fitting for this to happen just prior to independence day. Get lost Windy City Fraud aka Obama
Trouble in paradise.
It had to happen, the American media has wised up to what they have done. And it’s catastrophic. Please, American journalists – cover the story.
That’s all that we ask.
sh sh sh…the press hasn’t caught on…there will never be an impromptu question…the president is incapable of answering intelligently on his own…
The veil is being lifted and Otard’s ugly mellon will be fully exposed. This will not be a pretty process but it is essential for liberty and freedom. Do us a favor Otard and go back home.
Watch out Helen, when Obama was talking about “shovel ready” he was referring to all
of the gravedigger jobs that will be created when Obamacare is spawned from the depths
of Obamahell!
No Bush Blaming this time
Go Helen Go
Nice to see That Gibbs ain’t as smart as he thinks he is.
I give the boy just a few more months..this could get interesting.
My comments were NOT pre-screened
Helen just earned another 4 yrs in my book.
Extra! Extra!
Reid and Thomas after state quarantine, find comfort
Its been two weeks since Reid and Thomas let bile spew from their mouths. Helen has been issued a “Walkers game ear” from her primary physician for hearing loss and Reid has been seen in a wheelchair that is powered by the wind to treat his left brain malfunction. Both are taking oxycotin prescribed by the finest physcian Dr. Wright that has a tremendous resume that includes opening the chute for the PBR championship and cross breeding chickens and dragonflies. His birth certificate has never been found but he speaks many languages including “click” and “spanisharabic”. Both ex-comrads have been fired by the state run media and given a ceremony at the white house. President Hussein spoke motherly of the ex-comrads and said,” Even though the infidels hid in the grass as garden snakes looking to feast on a horse, I feared them not! They had great careers but now their time has passed, always look east my friends!” They were given a six pack of state light bulbs, a koran, and a bottle of vodka. Reid currently works for the magazine the globe, where his first article reads,” Muslim man ashamed of athletes foot takes tooth out of wifes mouth to scratch it, White House says permissible!” Helen now enjoys state job changing oil and working on trannies in oval garage. ABC has replaced Reid with first FemBot, a female robot that detects questions that President and White house staff wished they were asked during interviews. President and staff does not have to waste time looking at scripts and teleprompter, FemBot knows the liberal mind and detects weakness. Questions are fired into liberal brains conserving energy by not talking or exhaling carbon dioxide that ruins our planet and what every oxygen sucking plant and food source need to survive. President says of fembot,” Ive been telling all of u that u have been clinging to questions to hard, welcome fembot, yes I want to share the wealth and raise taxes, yes I have gotten high with william ayers, time out!! With no explanation FemBot then explodes, GE says was a malfunction, then asked president for aid. Video footage shows Obama putting his middle finger on a button underneath podium. More to come.
I want to send both Helen and Reid some flowers! I can’t believe it!
Excellent questions… FINALLY by some of the main stream, state-run press. It’s about time to see some tough questions asked of this incompetent administration!!! Gibbs is a total idiot – he laughs about everything – EVERYTHING. He’s probably the lamest press guy ANY administration has ever had – I wonder what he had on Obama to get this job – obviously it wasn’t because of his qualifications. I doubt he lasts another 6 months. He’s clueless!
I have never really liked “Helen Thomas” too much but she was looking fine during the press conference along with that “Chip” fellow. Nice job – FINALLY asking something that’s NOT on the Teleprompter!!! FINALLY!!! CBS just got a little notch for doing this!!!
I just read some comments by that Don Johnson fellow and what a RACIST he is!!! I got over the fact that we elected a BLACK president about 10 seconds after he was sworn in. That’s IT. He know has to prove himself as an AMERICAN PRESIDENT and he is doing the worst job possible. Jimmy Carter did a better job that this clown and Carter was the most idiotic president that our country ever elected. So, Mr. Johnson – why do we care that he is black? Nobody I know does – he just needs to grow up and forget his race and be an AMERICAN – not an “afro-american” – It’s interesting that almost ALL of the racist comments come from Black people – I don’t CARE what color anybody is – we are all judged by our actions and that is why Obama is a complete FOOL – not because he is black – that is irrelevant – COMPLETELY. Grow up Mr. Johnson!!!!! – and GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To NigelP:
So you finally admit to spiking our twinkies?
“If the American People KNEW what we have done, they would take to the streets and HANG US FROM THE LAMPPOSTS!”, George H.W. Bush. Is it time to take to the streets yet?
I found it very refreshing that a true journalist with the background she has is finally standing up and showing every man and woman in that she does indeed have the “BIGGEST SET OF BALLS” out of all of them.
THAT INCLUDES THE FOX NETWORK REPORTERS TOO!
These idiots are stealing America right under your noses and you are doing nothing about it.
STAND UP TO THESE TRAITORS AND EXPOSE THEM FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE. YOU MAY TAKE A FEW LUMPS BUT ALL OF AMERICA WILL BE ON YOUR SIDE JUST LIKE WE ARE ON HELEN THOMAS SIDE NOW.
AMERICANS WILL NOT FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
Gibbs is insistent on answering their questions tommorow, what a child he acts like he is cornered, trapped like the rat that he is!!! Friggin laughing mental case, he laughs like a girl! Everything is funny American’s lives are in ruins and all he can do is laugh!!! Gibbs Get lost Bitch!
Please just wait until tommorow because i dont know what to say right now being put on the spot and actually getting a question that i never expected, i dont know how to get out of this one at the moment. Looks like he is feeling trapped like the RAT that he is!!!!! Laughing like a girl, while Americans lives are in a shambles! Laugh at the bottom feeders, see how funny their pain is!!! This whole administration has a lot to answer to and we need to make sure they do! Way to go Helen!!
Keep it up Chip! We need MORE to follow Lets get em!!! “United We Stand”
Uh gibbs I cant stand him I dont care if this is his job he is guilty by association!
Having Obama is like having a Bush that is well spoken!
The tide is turning and people are waking up … but I fear too late.
Didn’t this kind of ‘town hall’ fake presentation used to be called PROPAGANDA?
I forgot to ask. Does anyone know how to ‘fire’ politicians before the next elections? I think that recall petitions may be the only way. Any info out there?
wow … the RWWs are searching for anything to criticize Obama about …
Bush43 must really have been the worst President ever if they need to do that …
Don Johnson (at 9.46pm) : By your own words, YOU are the racist! You are also an ageist. Plus, you also seem to have a problem with females in general and white females in particular. You are accusing ALL whites of being against blacks which is NONSENSE!!! Proof? There is abundant proof that YOUR notions are nonsence!
Would you care to comment on the FACT that whites support blacks both with their votes and their check books? In fact, whites supported Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Joe Louis, James Brown, Nat King Cole, Diana Ross, Chaquille Oneill, Willie Mays, Michael Jackson, and EVERY OTHER black who made their fortune in America, (where blacks are less than 13% of the population).
What about the FACT that Americans ae completely comfortable with BLACKS in positions of authority over whites (even though blacks are less than 13% of the population)? We have BLACK COPS and BLACK TEACHERS, and BLACK NURSES, and BLACK DOCTORS, and BLACK PROFESSORS and BLACK JUDGES! Finally, would you care to talk about black on white crime versus white on black crime? That is the PROOF that BLACKS HATE WHITES more than whites hate blacks!
openness and transparency- my ass.
“We won, you lost” is about as mindless and childish a retort as exists. Here’s an oft-used phrase by you guys, “Dissent is patriotic.” What happened to that one?
Gibbs giggling like a self proclaimed superior schoolgirl is most annoying. He laughs off their questions as too ridiculous to deserve an answer. I hope the press is paying attention as they have too long been a propaganda arm of the DNC. They were given a hugely important albeit unofficial job, that of sentinel in watch of government wrong-doing. They shrugged off that duty for a few pats on the head from corrupt democrat politicians. I would be ashamed to be a member of the press, and slave to the DNC.
give ‘em hell, helen. the one and the court jester
Hopefully the liberal press will begin to examine the “transparency” of this administration. I can see right through them, why can’t they? Repairations to Black America (why can’t they just be Americans? I can see if you are white or black, you don’t really need to tell me), complete takeover of the American business industry,the financial institutions, the credit lenders, the energy systems, the media, and our health care. What easier way to accomplish a Socialist society than to sell out to foreign money (ie George Soros nicknmaed the “Nation Buster”)? I was never raised to be a racist and Jeanine Garlo whatver , if you’re reading this, I don’t care if the man in the White House is black or white, but that he is represents every AMERICAN and stands by the constitution, which this man is not doing. Contracts mean NOTHING anymore. Law is out the window.All they care about are Votes, especailly minority ones. The Dems live and breath for minority control and manipulate whatever ethnic group they need for this day. Why do you think we have open borders? This administration and this Congress needs to be recalled. Exactly what is the redress for the “people” when their leaders fail them. Perhaps a bit of a history lesson is needed. Remember the French Revolution? And I still haven’t forgotten that Rham Emmanuel asked “why can’t we just kill all the Republicans”? Little men playing dangerous games.
According to the most reliable polling, somewhere between 0 and 3% of the American people “agree” with Ron Paul. Thankfully, most Americans have a more positive view of their fellow citizens.
[Ron Paul is a Libertarian who identifies himself a Republican on only one day each year. In even years, he is a Republican on Election Day (so he can get elected; there aren’t enough Libertarians to fill a booth at Denny’s) and on odd years; he identifies as a Republican on the day they pass out committee assignments. The rest of the time he is a loopy Libertarian.]
The “Ron Paul Crazies” live in a deluded world where THEY are the “intelligentsia” and others are deemed too stupid to live; they call names as though it is their right and duty to insult others. Their extreme rhetoric makes a mockery of our lives; for example, when they call elected officials “criminals” then WHAT do they call those who live behind bars?
What the Ron Paul Crazies do not want to talk about, but that must be acknowledged are the followers who are (a) RACISTS, (b) ANTI-SEMETIC, (c) CHAUVANISTS, (d) ANTI-FOREIGNERS (which we ALL were when we came to this great land) (e) and those who HATE everything that is not rabid pro-life, armed, rural, white and stupid!
Try talking to a Ron Paul supporter and you will find out that they HATE either or all of the following: blacks, gays, pro-choice, Democrats, Republicans, the US military (when used overseas), Israel, paper currency, being off the gold standard, capitalism, the US Constitution (as written, they prefer an altered copy), the Federal Reserve, Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Muslims, and the rest of the world.
Wasn’t that Tim Russert channeling through Chip and when that didn’t fully succeed, he switched to Helen?
I’m surprised Gibbs didn’t resort to the old movie line,”What we have here is a failure to communicate!”
Gibbs is a total loser. How much are we paying this buffoon to stand there and flop-sweat everyday??? Of course, when his boss has built a Whitehouse of cards, even Tony Snow would struggle to defend this Administration.
Halenapua:
The US Constitution is not merely a list of suggestions; it is our RULE OF LAW! We are not a banana republic, we do not take election results lightly, it might be good for you to spend more time reflecting on the rule of law and less time on reactionary emotionalism.
Your truth is THEIR propaganda just as much as their truth is YOUR propaganda! Likewise, the govenrment you imagine as perfect would be a horror to others; if you resist their form what makes you think that they will not resist your form? IOW, I have no interest in living according to “helenapua” since your values are certainly not my values! [I value education, experience, and reflective thought before actions to consider possible far-ranging consequences, over a “gosh, let’s all get together and see what we can do to change things” of-the-moment-philosophy.]
Never forget that “LIBERTY IS FREEDOM FOR THE THOUGHT YOU HATE!”
Pre-packaged questions are the result of pre-packaged answers and staged questions. Schizophrenia is settling into the white house with this dastardly administration. Obama can do no wrong? Well I guess destroying the the OGUSA (once-great USA) isn’t wrong then.
The terrifying shadow of Rahm E. (sp?) is falling on Mr. G. When things aren’t going well with the press, Mr. G. is summoned to Rahm’s desk where he is made to kneel with bare knees for simply hours on scattered rice until he begs for forgiveness.
I Love the American Public. Always trying to spin things for the sake of Money. The Problem with America is not that we have people who pre-package questions. It is that we forget the history of what people do every 4 – 8 years. For instance. No one is Complaining about the Pardon of Marc Rich under Clinton’s administration, or The fact that we will try other world leaders for acts of torture and injustice in the Hague, but not our former administration. If WB Was not torture, Then lets see Cheney, Bush, and Rice go through the process? How about holding an American Citizen (Jose Padilla) Without any due process allowed him under the Constitution of the USA. He wasn’t allowed a lawyer for 2 years?!?!?! This is an infringement on an AMERICAN Citizen’s Rights, and if the they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us by calling us “Enemy Combatants”, and what is wrong with Socialism? Is it just that you people don’t understand what it really is? I am a Libertarian. There is no reference in the Constitution that states that Socialism or Communism is bad (Even though Communism is REALLY Bad), Because the books that defined these terms were written in the Early 1800’s so don’t give me this “The Constitution is capitalist” We LIVE IN A FEDERAL REPUBLIC PEOPLE. Get your facts straight before you start mouthing off opinions that make no pertinent sense at all. At Least in Socialism you wouldn’t have any Homeless or hungry, and your taxes would be stabilized. Read the book about it before you judge it. Maybe then you will realize that you have been living in a fascist country for the last 40 years and Maybe then you will see that Europe’s currency will take over as the reserve currency in the world because of its stability. You know what that means for us? Poverty and Gangs running our country. Do you want this? Educate before it’s to late. -Cameron
The last time a non scripted question was asked we called him “Joe The Plumber”.
The Obama handlers aren’t going to let that happen again.
Wow..I am amazed that Helen is the first one in the Press to figure this out…….sad
Gibbs is the most pathetic press secretary that we have ever seen. Maybe the spell on the media is finally wearing off. They put Obama in the White House. Now watch them try to redeem themselves because they know the public is sick of Obama and his disastrous policies. Wheres the change we were suppose to believe in ?? Illusions of grandeur from the Axelrod clown and the rest of this hapless administration.
Where was this media during the election?
http://theconstitutionalalamo.com/2009/06/30/the-crisis-2009-part-iii/
The Crisis, Part III by Michael Naragon
“The State media is more responsible than groups such as ACORN for the election of our liberal government. With our financial ruin on the horizon, they continue to run as lead blockers for the Obama administration’s disastrous policies.”
Ever since “Joe the Plumber” Obama started filtering questions, he is transparent though lol. At least I can see through them.
dont blame me either I voted for Huckabee
Isn’t Gibbs left enough for you progressives? Hussein Obama cannot do his fine work with you parrots chattering all the time. Just be quiet and do as you are told. You elected him, now be good little Obamabots.
Obama is quickly losing all credibility with the american people. He has told so many lies most folks not longer believe what he says and why should they. He was one person when he was running for POTUS and now he is another person now that he won. He is an ego-maniac who is out of control!
Surely this was not real. They must have been practicing for the Monty Python skit at the next White House Correspondents Dinner.
Gibbs, “Sir, I do not like your question about pre-planned questions. You may ask it again, tomorrow!” If the phrase “you entirely missed the point” hadn’t been uttered yet, it would have been after that exchange.
You’ve got to love the tactic of attacking the questioner to change the subject. Implying that Chip was too stupid to understand that he was a member of the public was a classic liberal response to logic and reason. It didn’t get many laughs from the corps.
When the new Webster’s dictionary comes out next year there will be a picture of Gibbs deside the entries for condescending, smug, arrogant, patronizing, haughty, disdainful, and pompus.
Holy Moron Batman…. Gibbs is an idiot. Do I smell dissent and backlash from the MSM?
Did the media just wake up, or are they mad because the HuffPo, young reporter was ushered in, last week, just to go up front and ask a question of the all-knowing-one?
It’s time the MSM start delving into more investigative work and report to WE the people, all the sordid details of ACORN, SEIU and all the other groups that have tenticles that come from George Soros!
[...] wing blogs are still buzzing over the Helen Thomas-led mutiny of the White House press against the Obama administration’s [...]
Now, now, folks. How is “The One” supposed to maintain his messianic persona if non-KoolAde-guzzlers are allowed to ask him less than fawning, adoring questions? Have you not noticed on the rare occasions when someone does manage to appear less than worshipful that obummer loses his much-vaunted cool, juts out his chin, narrows his eyes, and ums and ums and ums? This sophomoronic, anti-American racist needs to create the illusion of ‘presidential’, so please be more understanding.
So how does an article about canned questions for Obama turn into a diatribe about bush, Cheney and waterboarding? These whinning liberals are finding it’s tough to be an adult. Much easier to revert back to the old “woe is me” lines.
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion:
The stage where the government is free to do anything it
pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission which
is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the
stage of rule by brute force.”
— Ayn Rand
And these dodge and duck tatics and pre-screening of questions suprise anybody?
Can’t believe that even the Libs can’t see what’s happening.
The arrogance of this administration and the speed at which they are destroying a country that took hundreds of years and millions of gallons of blood, sweat, and tears to build is deplorable. I can only hope that the extreme left wing bias media is beginning to open their eyes see that Marxism, Socialism, Fascism and Obama’s brand of dictatorship and Central government control is bad for the citizens of America.
[...] Watch the pissed-off press grill Gibbs over the fire about the “Pre-packaged” town hall … (TRANSCRIPT HERE) [...]
Orwell got his title wrong: instead of “1984″ it should have been “2009.”
Helen Thomas is the modern day Rip Van Winkle – FINALLY SHE WAKES ! The summer is getting hot and the liberal press is getting tired of spewing the same prepackaged false briefing and news from the Obama administration – these press corps are not stupid ,they can see the truth when Obama say the economy is in the rebound – all they have to see is their own reporter and media people get laid off from their jobs and their 401 k being slash and concessions for lesser benefit.I wonder what they would ask if their health benefit get tax just like the rest of working Americans and the rest of Obama’s policy that impact the rest including these denyers of reporters . Bias press corp- be careful what you wish for. Now you get The One elected .You sure got the change you wish for.
The mainstream media is having a hissy fit? Perhaps one by one they will extricate their heads from their nether regions before Obama has completed his mission of total media control. Perhaps.
Transparency? Give me a break… Just because YOU can’t see through it doesn’t mean it isn’t transparent.
If George Bush hadn’t poisoned the press against Obama, these sorts of silly episodes would never happen. Greater regulation is needed to ensure the press is free and operates in the public interest as the Bill of Rights mandates.
WAY TO GO HELEN AND CHIP!!!!!!!
Too bad this little incident will be wiped away all too quickly, when their bosses get a “concerned phone call” from Gibbs or POTUS and they snatch Helen and Chip’s leashes back to “heel”.
Gibbs is on his way out! The White House has been sending Bill Burton out to do interviews. Burton is better at BS’ing, but is a bigger tool as well. I don’t like Helen Thomas, but she’s “old-school” and will not put up with the way the WH is dealing with the press.
Is it me or does Gibbs laugh at every question given to him, like everything is a big f’n joke. Like maybe I’ll make them laugh so they forget the question and move on or something.
I’d hate to see how he acts when a real situtation happens! Just look at the clip when air force one scared the crap out people in New York and New Jersey, what did he do? Laughed. What an Idiot
Are you kidding me?? Clueless is an understatement!
Gibbs is nothing more than a shill for the President. It’s about time to put these fairy tale press conferences and town hall meetings in the garbage where they belong.
If they are not spontaneous don’t hold them. It’s time that the press and the media get out of bed with Obama. What little credibility they have is at stake. Yesterday the journalists should have just left the room en-masse and the television cameras turned off. That would have been the best message of all.
What you just saw in this video clip are 2 0bamatron presstitutes that just woke up with a koolaid hangover.
Once they see the money on the night table, they’ll change their tune.
Wow, almost 600 comments.
Looks like folks HAVE been paying attrention.
Finially the Honey moon is over….. it is about time the PRESS CORE conduct these PREE Conferences like NEW MEDIA PEOPLE… not Democrat Supporters..
There are ALWAS HIDDENT ELEMENTS when Obama is involved… and PRE-PLANNED…
He can not answer a REAL question unless he has Mr Teleprompter or it is already know.
Notice how the Lady who was a DNC Volunteer… took up more than 1/2 of the QUESTION TIME… that was totally planned… while she goes on and on about her PERSONAL STORY… Obama is KILLING REAL TIME… to TALK about HEALTH CARe…..
Nothing NEW in that Townhall meeting…
Why do they even call them TOWN HALL… when they are ALL SELECTED by the Administration?
They are Manipulating the MINDS of the MASSES who do not pay attention in class.
I never thought I would EVER have anything good to say about Helen Thomas but for once she’s right and Gibbs, that arrogant jackass, somebody needs to go up side his head with a 2×4.
WOW; the puppets may be biting the puppeteers hand.
Welcome to Sate Run media
Gibbs is worse than a lawyer or even satan. He obviously has no reserve about selling his soul
They’re only pissed now because
A. They are now treated the same as bloggers. Who does he think he is treating the fourth branch like that?!
B. The jig is up(I’m not trying to be pejorative), these people are no more transparent than any other administration and now the press knows it.
C. They’ve in as much been told Obama owns them by his joking about Brian Williams in his bed. D. They been duped into doing the Presidents dirty work and running cover for him, and now the shits on them.
E. How dare Obama poke fun at them, after all they got him elected made him a celebrity.
I’m thinking of something. ‘When I am King, you’ll be the first against the wall’. The press never thought it would be them, the ones against the wall never do either.
So, now that the event has taken place I see that all of the questions were hand-picked, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/01/AR2009070100950.html. How will we ever get the opposing view if everything is canned answers to picked questions?
So much for transparecy. Quoting the Washington Times article:
“The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.”

[...] Breitbart.tv [...]
Speaking of control, I wonder why the video is suddenly not accessable?
For the first time in my adult life I can honestly say I am proud of something Helen Thomas said.
Now if only Chris Mathews could get over his man crush on the “O”
Both Gibbs and B.O. are both complete morons in over their head. Obama made sure he put clowns that don’t know as much as he “thinks” he does in his cabinet. The real problem is were driving light speed towards Socialism and with the Democratic controlled House & Senate there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. Why aren’t the Republicans speaking up and fighting? Because they want the same thing. The only way we will get our country back is if we take it from these traitors.
yah, doogle. you are right. Personally, I think it’s kind of funny in a strange way. I mean, these folks (press) lined up lock step to help get this man elected. They dared not question him during the campaign, and branded anyone who would as racist or not wanting “change”. Now, they have the NERVE to act upset… Give me a break. (Albiet, they do have a point, hehe:))
D.Q.
This is a fluke and will pass away in a day or two. Obamas news gestapoes will put the kebash on the other reporters in no uncertain terms. You watch,it will happen before friday. The two reporters will be banned, demonized, isolated and destroyed by the marxist reporter corps.It may be amusing for a few days but it will NOT last a week. Each preselected marxist sympathizer leaning reporter will be rescreened and any reporter not sucking on the obamamarxist teat will be eliminated from attending Gibbs propaganda agencies dissemination of leftist idiology. Face it evil will flourish when good men do nothing and stick thier heads in the sand. We are now a nation of cowards and value the state offered security rather than our freedom that we have had so long. So bend over, lubricate your posterior well and take the shaft of marxism that you so desperately want. Dont do anything and Obama will do it for you, no choice offered.
“Mainstream” media have no right to complain. They got the President they wanted.
Gibbs is such so smug and patronizing.
This is a good thing.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
I am just happy that FINIAL Helen Thomas and other… are starting to QUESTION the King.
I am happy that all of you are AWAKE and AWARE…. of the BIG MESS we are all in.
I am happy that People like Barb are not allowed to SCREAM the LIES that in her mind are true… you are so gentle with her…. Barbie drink a cup of tea… sit down.. big brothers and sisters are talking now…. LISTEN UP…. PAY ATTENTION… FIND A WAY to THINK for yourself. Stop DRINKING the Kool-Aid that has you DAZED and Confused…
In the USA we want the FREEDOM to THINK… and CREATE our own destiny.
In the USA the blood sweat and tears of those who have walked before us… stood for FREEDOM…
In 6 short months… there has been son many HIDDEN RULES and REGULATIONS pushed down our country in the Dark of Night at 3 AM…. and no one is given TIME to READ or QUESTION … or DEBATE IT… WHY….. that is the QUESTION… becuase they KNOW… if the LIGHT of the SUN in shown on these NEW LAWS and RULES… it will be REJECTED BIG TIME… so a 10 year old bill is HIDDEN during the NIGHT… and not allowed to be questioned.
It is NOT just Obama… it is Nancy Peloise and her group of idiots who learned well how to Manipulate the minds of the sleeping masses like Barb. It LOOKS LIKE he is helping them… but that is becuase they REFUSE to look deeper to the TRUTH of what goes on here.
Those who voted for Obama… Voted for a man who READ the WORDS of a Seminary Study… who’s words TOUCHED THEIR HEART…. I can read some beautiful poems and be moved by them… but I WAS NOT THE CREATOR of those words… just like Obama.
and now.. we find he is NOT HOME… he NEEDS a Teleprompter to TELL HIM what to say.
My question is.. who is the TRUE POWER behind Obama??? Now we know that he was give 60 million by the Unions… and there are many others… George Soroes…. too… I am sure Obama KNOWS that HE MUST PAY THEM ALL BACK…
Yep this president has been BOUGHT and SOLD… and the USA TAX Payers gets to pay the bill.
Finally, the kool-aid press cult is waking up.
Obama Lie #1. “I promise a transparent White House and administration”
Obama Lie #2. ” Those of you making less than $250,000 a year will not see any tax increase.”
Cap and trade, Climate Change bill, Health care “reform”, bailouts out the wazoo, —–you’re all being taxed more than ever—and this is just the first 6 months!!
Let’s do the math: I recently starting getting an additional $7/week back in my pay due to Obama’s generosity, but then he is going to slip in the back door with all these reforms (aka tax supported initiatives) and I will owe hundreds, perhaps thousands more each year to fight the hoax of climate change, provide healthcare for illegals, 20 somethings who don’t want it yet, and for flipping on my lightswitch and flushing my toilet. And this is just the stuff we know about today.
I never thought I’d say it, “I miss George!!”
So let me get this straight…. the majority of the people on here are upset over this (which has been going on for years and years) but the fact you went to war over false information, spent close to a trillion dollars on a war that was really about oil and tortured thousands of prisoners didn’t bother you at all?
You people are nuts….
I feel for whatever administration is trying to lead you because you really are in your own bubble. I wonder how many people who have posted here have traveled outside the US for more than 30 days (and not for business)?
Until you guys figure out what it is that is important in life (hint: it’s not celebrities), you will continue to slide in reputation. Obama getting elected was the best thing that has happened to your country in the past 8.5 years. I know you don’t believe it but the rest of the world thinks so and when you have so many thinking the same thing, you might want to stop and think why that is.
Oh, c’mon. This is no sea-change. If Obama were there in person, do you think the press would go after him like this? Not likely. He’d cast his white guilt spell on them and they’d settle down, meekly toe the line, and ask only approved questions. Gibbs is white so he’s “fair game”.
Besides, everyone knows that white people can’t do anything right and need to be constantly browbeaten.
Thanks a lot Americans! Canadians used to have a free enterprise neighbour to look up to and hopefully emulate. Not anymore. I would say most sensible Canadians have nothing but pity for our poor neighbours.
Socialism sucks big time and it looks like you are about to find out. You’ll especially like the socialist healthcare. It’s quite efficient. Most people die before finally being seen. Keeps the line-ups manageable.
Although I am gobsmacked at how easily Americans bowed to their government. Destroyed all my allusions about America. Whoda thunk the Americans would give up all their freedom over 911. But you did. Without a peep. I guess all the sheep aren’t in Canada. But hey, it gets easier being on your knees after the calluses develop.
Gibbs Press Conference in 2010:
“So comrades, for our next five year plan, we predict an unquestioned surplus again in production. No one is hungry. No one is homeless. Crime is non-existent. Through Seceretary General Obama’s foresight and wisdom, we have averted climate change catastrophe and economic doomsday. The People’s Republik of Amerika should be very proud of their brave leader.”
This is hilarious! Nothing of this matters because Obongadongadingdong is going to grant Amnesty to the illegal invaders from the south. This will essentially wipe out any dissenters for good. Then he’ll remove the term limits for a president and we will have Stalin Part Deux.
Helen Thomas: “Grrrr!” Pulls the curtain back revealing that the great Wizard of Oz
is just a man pushing buttons and levers at a console.
Gibbs: “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Watch the info-mer….
er..I mean Town Hall Meeting! You’ll see…it’s very very fair!”
Ironically we can all agree with Obama on one thing. We ARE the answer we are looking for!
What the president wasn’t counting on is that “we” aren’t very pleased with him.
Obama cannot handle a press conference with spontaneous questions. You called Bush stupid, but you judge Obama by a different standard. Be honest with yourself. Can you imagine the outrange if Bush spoke exclusively from a teleprompter and would not accept unscreened questions? You would be right to question his competence and ability. But, for some reason Obama gets a pass.
Gibbs is a dolt. Man I miss Bush.
Is this only different from previous administrations because this one stated they wanted openness and transparency?
Questioners and questions have been pre-selected and canned in events like this since Kennedy was in office. It has become a norm for both sides to set things up like this in order to raise the public’s confidence and to appear as a strong leader.
My point isn’t that it’s okay for one side to do it because the other side does it too, my point is that this outrage should have been present a long time ago, long before Obama took office.
This just goes to show why things never change in this country. The right are only upset when the left does something unethical, and the left is only upset when the right is unethical. I’m in total agreement that we’re long overdue for a revolution of sorts. What I’m afraid of is when it happens people will blindly follow and believe that the revolution is simply becoming more republican or more democrat. We should all go back and read the constitution, then maybe we’ll be able to see all the BS both sides put us through. It’s time for a 3rd major party, a better option for all of us, it’s time for Libertarians or the Constitution Party to gain supporters.
Personally, I want a socialist country about as much as I want a theocracy. Let’s give power back to the people, remove it (power and money) from the federal government and strengthen our state and local governments. Personal decisions should be given back to the person in regards to everything from health care and guns to retirement and gay marriage. Freedom is the notion of controlling your own destiny, good or bad.

>> I can’t wait for Gibbs to quit so I can read his book.
========================================================
Even your kids will be able to read it; it’ll be a pop-up book!
Gibbs, seems alot like that Gerbals mouth piece from NAZI Germany under Hitler. You almost expect Gibbs to say something like; “This is for the fatherland and if you were a true American you would go along with it”.
But then I’m confused with Obama because sometimes I feel like I’ve woken up in Russia and we have a bunch of Communist Czar’s running the country.
Obama is about as un-American as you can get. He is destroying this country.
Gibbs is a slimy sellout.
Don’t blame me I voted for McCain!
Helen Thomas did a huge favor to the republic. She single-handedly woke up the sleeping, slobbering reporters to the fact that their job is to speak out and question, not to acquiesce to a regime–I mean administration–that is power hungry! We are in serious trouble with the crew in the White House. History will show Bush as a strong and dedicated Pres and Obama as far down the list in terms of really caring about America vs. his concerns about his own Macbethian ambitions.
Lib media ratings are dropping like a rock and they know it. They are now trying to save their own a**es. Their news is a joke just like their messiah.
Helen Thomson does not deserve praise now. Where were she and the rest of the lib media when the truth was needed!
If they were reporting real news we would not have an illegal president.
Does anyone else here strains of Bahgdad Bob here? Remember the Sadaam Hussein’s press sec that just telling us
how the Americans where being crushed and destroyed on the walls of the city all the while American tanks are
passing in the background….
Yep… Baghdad Bob here!
Fargin Bastiges July 1st, 2009 – 6:26 pm
Folks, don’t get all giddy about Reid and Thomas. ONE confrontation during ONE press conference does not absolve the fact that the fourth estate made itself into the fifth column to get Obama into office. Wait and see what they ask next time. Wait and see what they write. Don’t get fooled again. Your forgiveness should not come so cheap.
___________________________
You may be on to something there. Maybe it’s the liberal press trying to look relevant to the American people, so they start listening to the press again.
You can pin the packaged propaganda event with pre-selected moron supporters with their pre-selected “questions” on Axelrod and Emanuel, they are the puppeteers on media events. Obama doesn’t have a clue because he doesn’t have any principles or ethics – but it looks like he crafted his own crapped up answers. that said, suddenly I just love Helen, long may she live.
Giggling Gibbs knows they have him over a barrel. His attempt to laugh them off failed.
smile people– history always proves who was right and who was wrong—theres nothing to fight about— there would have never been a ronald reagan, had their first not been a jimmy carter— give this thing a little more time– califonia is already sending out iou’s— and washington is on the same fast track to ruin—- let them continue in their deception– their hostile take over, while their media comrades continue to blind the weak—true american descent will take back our liberty, our freedom, and OUR childrens money from the enemy–
Reporter: “Mr Gibbs, why is it called a town hall format when all questions are pre-screened?”
Gibbs: “My tie is yellow. Next Question.”
Reporter: “No, that was not my question. Please answer my question.”
Gibbs: “I did answer your question. I like my steak well done. Next question.”
Reporter: “Wait. I want my question answered.”
Gibbs:”This is crazy (hee hee haa haa). I keep answering your question. You just don’t know what you are asking (hee hee haa haa). I’m moving on…”
More to come…
[...] — buttle @ 22:37 When even that old moonbat Helen Thomas notices, The Messiah may have trouble with the press. Pretty embarassing performance by Gibbs. I’m sure most of the press remains in the tank, but [...]
The difference is this is the United States of America, and we don’t play that crap. We don’t care what you other people think we should do, that’s why we live here. If you don’t understand the main principle of being an American, you never will, but all those others around the world that risk their lives to come here and be whatever they are willing to work toward do, ask the Governor of California what he thinks of this Country. I’m glad you’re happy in your country, but don’t think any of us care that you believe the United States should be more like it. We don’t receive foreign aide from anyone, even when we are attacked by terrorists that stone their citizens, or have a whole area of our population flattened by a natural disaster. But you can rest assured if it happens to you, the American people will come to your aide.
Did Chavez have something to do with Obama getting elected?
Oh yes as we all know the “rest of the world” only wants what is best for this country. Did you stand and call for international sanctions when the Russians were placing toys among the landmines in Afganistan? When Putin murders opposition journalists? When the Chinese committed mass murder in Tienniman square? Torture? Torture where no one was killed or maimed? Torture more aptly defined as harsh treatment? GIVE ME A BREAK!
Well agree or not agree with Helen…she at least is an honest reporter…she is not senile yet…Obama is a total fraud can not think for himself afraid of spontaneous decisions…he is truly a manchurian candidate scripted to every detail….more importantly everyone better start paying attention because he is very bad for America
don johnson???????? are you really black??????????? because none of my black friends come anywhere close to you in IGNORANCE—- but you did make me think “obama is black”???????????????????????? before today i only seen the thiness of his skin, and the deception of the words that flow out of his toungue— and thanks for letting me know he was black– hey don, don johnson, why dont look up the obama family tree on cnn— enjoy
Well Helen, now you did it. They will “retire you” now. You don’t mess around with Jim. . .
Get a life. Wait till we actually are working just to survive. Go ahead and love the man. You probably get help from this same government, while we all sit back and work our butts off supporting you jerks.
Rich! This is rich!
The little white stuff on top of chicken sh*t ain’t frosting after all!
Gibbs is a perfect frontman for an amoral dictator. Ambitious enough to overreach his capabilities, only smart enough to parrot what’s he’s told and brazen out the rest. You have to suspend your disbelief to swallow what he’s peddling for Obama; up is not up, down is not down, and outright lies are the truth.
I’m reserving judgment that the MSM will have an “Oh, duh” moment and miraculously regain its journalistic integrity. That would require overcoming generations of liberal bias. The look on Helen’s face that one of her “own” would play her for a stooge is priceless, though. Now, it’s personal.
Perhaps this is the start of a miracle, the beginning of the awakening of the press to the abomination they shoved down our throats.
Sadly, I fear the majority of the electorate is still in love with the illusion of what they think they elected, and reality won’t interfere with that.
The majority, or at least a pleurality, of Americans want the Socialist model, and by that I mean they want redistribution of wealth..to THEM!
God help us, and may He continue to open the eyes of the Press. They got us into this, maybe they will get us out again.
Gotta hand it to the people, it looks like it didn`t take long to figure this admin out.
I guess better late than never. ” Hey you idots in Washington” you may fool us people for a while, but we will eventually see what/who you really are.
Please, please, please people, can we work on cleaning house over there in DC and why can`t they pass a law for each person to only serve 10 yrs max and then got to go.
I don`t know about everyone else, but I have had enough of all parties abusing their power when they get it.
Do you think that we can afford to wait until 2010 or 2012. This is a shock and awe
push towards a 3rd world country!!! All the special interest groups have gotten
the bail out money, pay back time for them, on our future and hard work as we the
people go down the tubes. Crap and trade, if it passes will allow this bunch of
@2#$## in the white house to control every shower you take, every light you use,
the toaster you can buy,your electric bills will sky rocket ect. ect. and then
when you go to sell your house they will come in and inspect it to make sure the
house passes all of their green rules or you can’t sell until it’s up to their
standards.
They own the car companies and want us to all start driving a little bug car.
Next it will be a camel !!! or the high fee’s will surly come unto you. Who stands
to gain on crap & trade? G.E. whom by the way owns NBC,MSNBC. I can hear it now,
G.E. you report all good on me through the campaign and you will stand to make
Billions on the tax payers backs.Obamas motto through the campaign. Talk like a
middle class, Act like a middle class then when your in the white house
destroy the middle class.
Lies, Lies and more Lies. No wonder he took so much of our money. They have to
pay for ALL the one’s they bought off to take over America.
Liberals suck and are sooooo brain washed they make no sense.They still believe
this crap. Don’t watch this crap news media, bought and paid for with our money.
And don’t believe the global warming chicken little Al the Gourd whom made millions
on the lie.Call your representatives in your State, Dems. & Repubs. alike and
tell them no to cap & trade nor the Obama healthcare take over,and NO to all he
wants to do to lord over us all.
Remember THEY WORK FOR US!!!! GOD be with America, she needs him.
This is all so insane.
I never thought I would say this, but I totally agree with Helen Thomas.
Hey “Give me a break” boy. Americans should not give a damn what the rest of the world thinks. We have been the greatest nation on earth for a century and we true Americans prefer to keep it that way. Let the rest of the world burden themselves with Socialism and let us continue to prosper.
Gibbs is what we here on Main Street USA we call an a**hole. Thanks to all those who voted for Obama. What a joke you all are.
God Bless Jasoon.
Only NOW that the press is not threatened to have their access cut off do they find their backbone to start holding the presidency to a high standard. This is actually fairly pathetic on their part. Thanks for growing a pair for the Obama administration when we could REALLY have used you during the Bush admin.
The difference is this is the United States of America, and we don’t play that. We don’t care what you other people think we should do, that’s why we live here. If you don’t understand the main principle of being an American, you never will, but all those others around the world that risk their lives to come here and be whatever they are willing to work toward do, ask the Governor of California what he thinks of this Country. I’m glad you’re happy in your country, but don’t think any of us care that you believe the United States should be more like it. We don’t receive foreign aide from anyone, even when we are attacked by terrorists that stone their citizens, or have a whole area of our population flattened by a natural disaster. But you can rest assured if it happens to you, the American people will come to your aide.
I predict that Gibbs will eventually leave this administration, either quitting in disgust at the lies he has to tell (he’s not very good at it anyway) or fired for slipping up and reveaing the truth.
Either way, he’ll be replaced with a minority, so that the Obama crowd can call any tough questions evidence of racism, as they do for “the annointed one” now.
I never thought I’d find my self saying I miss Bush….but
this outta control craziness these last 5 months makes it so.
Google Maurice Strong, former U.S. resident (presently keeping a low profile in his adopted China), and find the Canadian behind the Global Warming/One World Socialism scheme that Obama is bringing to your home…….whether you like it or not.
Along with much, much, much higher taxes. The current deficit projects a tripling of taxes/inflation. The Democrat’s protectionism recalls Depression era policies. Microsoft is eyeing Vancouver’s now much lower corporate taxes.
And worst of all, Obama’s socialism is opening doors that can never be closed. Very interesting times to say the least! Best of luck.
It is not the press and it is not the administration that is the problem here.
The problem is the populace that insists the problem is with a particular party or administration. This type of problem has existed during every presidency in my lifetime. As long as the populace believes it is divided into two factions, there will be one side defending it and another to oppose it. That’s all that is necessary to maintain the status quo.
This is crap, these people have been controlling the press and the press has been lap dogs for them since the beginning. The honeymoon is over. Obama better get used to the fact that the people are his boss and they are demanding answers.
Amazing any of the righties would complain about this at all…it really take guts
Bush did this crap for YEARS and on much more senstive topices like the Iraq
situation…get a freakin grip people.
Yeah it’s all “Wishin and Hopin and Waitin” for you haters
This administration reminds me of the kids story ” The King’s Wonderful New Suit of
Cloths”. And finally someone says ” Look the King is Naked”. About time.
No, Cameron you do NOT “love” the American people! When you start with a lie, how is the rest credible? A “little knowledge is a dangerous thing” (earning a PolySci degree before lecturing is a good thing), but I will take on your jumble of disjointed claims in order. 1) What money? 2) Marc Rich remains out of the country. 3) American presidents, as LEADERS of the FREE WORLD, are NEVER “tried” as criminals. [Learn to rationalize / prioritize.] 4) Anyone who believes that elected leaders (who are charged with keeping us safe) should be tortured like Al-Qaeda operatives has a screw loose. 5) Water-boarding is only useful on bullies! 6) JOSE PADILLA (Abdullah al-Muhajir / Muhajir Abdullah) is a lifetime criminal! He joined the Maniac Latin Disciples, committed many crimes, used many aliases, and AS A CHICAGO TEEN, KICKED A MAN TO DEATH! He converted to Islam in prison, joined Al-Qaeda, and PLOTTED TO KILL AMERICANS WITH DIRTY BOMBS! He was detained for a month, not 2 years, then transferred to a military court (because he worked for Al-Qaeda)! His lawyers moved him to civilian court; he was sentenced to 17 years. He was NOT a “US CITIZEN DENIED HIS RIGHTS.” [Your claim is absurd!] HE GAVE UP HIS RIGHTS WHEN HE JOINED AL-QAEDA AND TRIED TO MURDER AMERICANS! 7) You claim to be a Libertarian and ask “what is wrong with Socialism?” Since the Libertarian platform is to the Left of the Democrats, they favor socialism. Most educated Americans know that socialism is anathema to the human condition and has FAILED everywhere it was tried. 8) Now, your ignorance shines! A Federal Republic CAN ONLY FUNCTION UNDER CAPITALISM!! 9) The US Constitution does not mention socialism or communism because THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE FORMING A REPUBLIC AND REPUBLICS CAN ONLY OPERATE UNDER CAPITALISM; why mention anything else? THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW THAT A MARKET DRIVEN ECONOMY WAS THE ONLY SYSTEM under which humans could function freely so it would have been STUPID and they were not stupid. 10) KARL MARX didn’t write “DAS KAPITAL” until 1867 (90 years AFTER our formation). 11) YOU SAID->, “At Least in Socialism you wouldn’t have any Homeless or hungry, and your taxes would be stabilized. Read the book about it before you judge it.” BALONEY!!! PLUS, YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT THAT SOCIALISM ONLY WORKS IN THEORY (that means in books)! READ ABOUT TRIALS AND FAILURES! Believing what you read in books biased to your belief system is dogmatic and foolish! [You need the hand of a professor; your “self-education” is not going well.] 12) The USA has not been “fascist” for the last 40 years; that is an hysterical claim, based on zero facts, meant to inflame. [Demagoguery rarely works!] 13) A financially steady Europe is WONDERFUL; they have FINALLY quit warring with each other! If only the Middle-East and Africa would learn to quit buying bullets and have more money for bread! [Your hysterical viewpoint defines the condition of nation states as a zero sum game is simply not true. WE ARE ALL HUMAN; a rising tide lifts all boats!] 14) HYPOCRITE! You do not want GANGS running our county, yet you defend with lies and vigor the biggest GANG-BANGER OF THEM ALL, JOSE PADILLA! 15) Telling others to “get their facts straight” and demanding others “educate” themselves while exluding yourselfis also hypocritcal! It is IMPOSSIBLE to make intelligent decisions /come to logical conclusions without fundmental knowledge, which you do not have! You clearly need to spend time in an accredited university. Only then will you begin to “understand” the world. Right now, you are merely guessing!
The more he slips in the polls and his popularity begins to drop, more reporters will want to distance themselves from Obama….and claim that they have always questioned this ineligible president….AKA Obama. NOW REPORTERS, START DEMANDING HE RELEASE ALL HIS “SEALED” AND “UNAVAILABLE DOCUMENTS”. AKA Obama was never vetted…so lets do it now before he completely destroy our constitution and economy.
Gibbs reminds me of that wannabe in high school that just wanted to be cool, and would do anything to be around the cool kids. He just has that, “trying so hard to be funny and cool attitude” but he can’t pull it off, because he’s an idiot. Tony Snow would mop the floor with this guy.
I am truly ashamed of this country, what ignorance and outright narcacism this administration has shown
towards the public. Have they forgotten that they work for us? not the reverse. Our founding fathers
arent turning in there graves, they simply climbed out and left the country.
Does anyone notice all the ” Obama 08 ” bumper stickers disappearing??
I guess the weight is to much and to safe gas they are being removed…or could the taxes and job loss are starting to hit were it hurts. Sorry that`s what it took to wake some people up, but at least they are waking up now.
It’s about time……. the light maybe turning on in the medias head! Watch out …Obama is going to have a media zar replace you!RUN HELEN RUN!!!! Good job!
Robert Gibbs is a joker…he is now talking like BO…uh, uh, uh…..The only difference is this, BO has his telepromter and Gibbs has to wing it! But, all in all, I was glad to see the two liberal lapdogs grill Gibbs!
It’s almost (and I say almost, here) as bad as the Lenin, oops, I mean Bush administration.
We need to start calling in to the White House. Let them know we don’t want Cap and Trade, or any other new taxes. Let them know they work for us, and we are tired of the lies. We want to know what is in every bill that they have signed but haven’t read. Post them on the internet so we can see how our tax money is being blown on their friends. These are phone numbers to the white house. (202)456-1414 or (202)456-1111.
Remember, folks, that Helen is still a woman (as am I, except I’m a conservative). A liberal woman is very easily won over with smooth talk from their chosen “celebrity”.
I’m willing to bet that last night, President Obama personally called her (and Chip) and neatly smoothed her ruffled feathers.
The real test will be if the press continues to question this administration in a straightforward way.
To all you liberals: No one’s buying the “Bush was way worse” lameness. You are not smart enough to know the difference, so you can just give up the pretense you have a brain.
I have never agreed with Helen about any political position until 7/01/09.
I was thrilled that she stood up against that buffoon of a press secretary and defended her right, as a member of the free press, to participate in open political events.
I absolutely loved her standing up for the Freedom of the Press.
She defended herself against the press secretary for talking down to her like she is a senile retirement home resident.
I have been praying for something to happen to wake up the USA so they can see the dictator we have in the office of president.
I believe Helen woke a bunch of people up yesterday.
I respect her today more than I do all the news agencies (excluding FOX & now CBS) combined.
She has recognized the control that Obama is strangling the truth with and she stood up for the truth.
I am grateful, an honored, to have had the privilege of seeing her stand up for freedom and democracy.
I don’t have to agree with her politically; and I don’t; however for the 1st time; I now see why she is so highly regarded in the press.
Helen, you could be the start of desperate effort to save the United States of America from a dictator; an usurper who is trying to bankrupt America so we can’t defend ourselves.
Please, Helen …..don’t stop.
As time goes by we have found out more and more about how controlling this administration is. Telepromters used for PC, I’m sure no one is feeding Obama the answers RIGHT! Media being called the night before to let them know they will be called upon. Must of know their question beforehand. Now we know Obama cherry picks his townhall meetings and events.Is there any doubt that he probably got the questions before all his debates? WHY? Could it be that Obama is not smart enough to answer these questions. Anytime I watch him try to answer tough questions on his own he has hem and hawed and basically looked foolish. The shock here is the Media which has had its lips firmly attached to Obama’s butt. Maybe they are finally going to fullfill their role as watchdog over government no matter which party or person is in charge.
Finally. It only took 7 months but the press is actually starting to do the job they are suppose to do. Does this mean the honeymoon is over or will his highness the surpreme messiah just kick out members of the press that don’t agree with him
Have you noticed everytime this empty suit coughs up one of those fake laughs he’s actually covering up another lie exposed? Wake Up Sheeple!!!
Chip R. is an A hole. Helen T. is a 100 year old crabby lady who needs to RETIRE. No respect. Bush banned her a## from the press room years ago. There was nothing wrong with the question, it was how they double teamed Gibbs. Gibbs couldn’t attack Helen. It would have been, Gibbs beats up on old lady Helen. Why do they have front seats? If they don’t like it , get out the kitchen. LEAVE. NO RESPECT.
Yep, it took less than 6 months for the remaining stand ins to turn against Odinga. Time now for the press to implement the full court press on Odinga and get these Chicago thugs out of here before they ruin our country. Let’s ROLL!
The media needs to keep being exactly like this! This is how the media should be! If they were consistent and honest people, this is how every press conference would be.
Start a Revolution.
the govt. is a joke and is there simply to take your money and then give to the govt. lackies or illegals for jobs/benies/pensions. they will give bail-outs to billionaires, junky american car companies, scam (”wall”) street, and now we have a joker lawyer in the white house double talking, slick speaking, good showman and spin a story by his oratory lawyer skills. However, there is NO transparency in US govt. tons are leaving the us. massive foreclosures, massive unemployment, massive illegal mexican problems etc…. and a do-nothing politicians that give lip service, lawyerly talk and give benies/jops to their buddies. They terry nickell and dime the american citizens and they think americans are idiots and do not know that we are independent thinkers and have a brain. the questions at the white house are prepackaged, loaded, and the PR man will give an evasive imbecilic response b/c americans do NOT demand better/greater things from these lackies. None of their “programs” helps the average american woman/man. They are just once again pandering to the elite. Country is a sinking ship and is getting worse by the day, sad to say.
How ironic this conversation is taking place just prior to our Fourth of July – Independence Day! What part of “freedom” will I remember most…let’s see, um…where should I start?
We are going down folks, WAY down. We MUST put maximum pressure on our Congress and Senators to STOP The Messiah. Why are they so afraid of him? Are they ALL in his pocket?
God Bless what’s left of this beautiful country; once land of the free.
Cheers from FLAT BROKE CALIFORNIA.
Hey “I Vote” who apprently believes he has …ahem..* a brain*
You probably worshipped at the alter of BUSH for years but you might want to read up and read up now becuase this “story” simply does not even compare with what your hero did…run along now.

The press is all about negativity. Always digging for dirt. I stopped watching the news because of the crap that is shown and how they attempt to sensationalize every nuance.
their motto: “let’s make something out of nothing”
why is obama’s so called birth certificate (FORGERY) on fightthesmears missing the following information?
1.Registration number
2. Registration district number?
3. Child’s birth number?
4. Name of hospital?
5. Father’s place of birth?
6. Father’s occupation?
7. Mother’s place of birth?
8. Mother’s occupation?
9. Attending physician?
10. State he is licensed in?
11. License number?
12. Registrar’s name?
13. Registrar’s signature?
14. Attending physician’s signature?
Can anyone say LIAR????
I’ll be far more impressed when Helen Thomas or any of the suck-ups start asking The Lord and Master of the White House this kind of questions.
What say we do away with the change and revert back to yesteryear when life was easy, taxes were low, everyone had a job and was responsible for themselves. Don’t know about you but I’m sick of the “CHANGE” politicians have been bringing us for the last 50 years. Amend the Constitution to limit all politicians to two four years terms and then back to private life. Do away with career politicians and lobbyist as well… Now that would be CHANGE!
I think this is just what America needed!! Let’s think of it as a huge wake up call. There are those out there that are just starting to think about our country, our freedom, our way of life..that perhaps haven’t thought about it before. You don’t know what you have until it’s being stolen from you. Those of us that knew this was coming, have been fighting against it for a long time….but those of you that are just now seeing the light..GOOD for you!!! Hurray…These things can and will be reversed….We can still save this counrty….I have true Faith.
Jabe,
You can’t take the heat you gave Bush for 8 years. He got blamed for every bruise on every apple in the state of Washington for 8 years by you and the liberal Media. Suck it up son, you are getting what you gave.
In the case of Obama, he can not take the scrutinity because is does nto have the SUBSTANCE that bush did and still does. Not to mention Obama does not have the honor, integrity, education, personal honor OR the intelligence to be where he is. He is there because of Corrupt ACORN. Nothing else. He can’t even answer a genuine unscripted question from anyone. He is a FRAUD in every sense of the word.
Your president is horrible and deserves this.
Gibbs is the perfect spokesman for theis admnsitration. He is snarky, arrogant, insincere and shifty. He seems arrogant toward his customers – the American public and their de facto agents, the press. If he worked for me, he’d be fired.
Gibbs is totally a puppet~ It really makes me laugh~
This will make your day.

It’s about time, daylight in the swamp of the government/media complex, wake up America!
Man hearing all the republicans licking their wounds and hating on Obama and Dems is fun, almost as fun as watching them get their asses handed to them in 06 and 08. If you want to have a serious discussion about the fact that this process is very much less than transparent (and this is indeed not the first instance of this happening) then fine, but grow up about the birth certificate, about MSNBC, about everything else. He’s the President, and throwing tantrums about your conspiracies will rally no one to your cause.
About time the press starts to question this administration… wish they had vetted it before it was in the WH.
The Obama administration MOCKS and LAUGHS at anyone standing in their way. Tea Party Patriots are being treated with no respect, and now the media knows what it feels like.
There is no *HOPE* in Socialism…
I’m surprised so many of you still have such rock solid faith in either extreme side of the political spectrum. Pre-packaged questions have been a political and PR technique for years, liberal and conservative alike. It won’t go away in the future either, regardless of which side is in power.
When are you guys going to realize that by creating this illusion that everyone has to choose either the left or the right, the country has been divided into two brainwashed polar opposites content to blindly defend their own side, while blindly attacking the opposite side? I rarely hear any intelligent political debate anymore in which one party ACTUALLY LISTENS AND CONSIDERS the points made by the other party. It’s simply another form of control in which the real people in power present us with two puppets – one on the left, and one on the right. All the while, we’re too busy arguing with each other over which puppet is a liar or which puppet is stupid, that we don’t recognize that it’s THE SAME ASSHOLE holding up both puppets. By buying into this shit you’re just promoting the illusion.
If you actually want to make a difference (and not just hype stupid shit like this), I suggest by starting locally. Vote locally based on POLICY, not party.

Haha, I also find it ironic that this article is about filtering the questions sent in, and at the same time, my comments have to “await moderation” before being posted. LOL.

Barb…..
Hopefully you have heard of Margaret Thatcher….She said it in the simplest terms possible. “The problem with SOCIALISM is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Open your eyes and ears….you cannot be as ignorant as you sound.

“Gibbs reminds me of that wannabe in high school that just wanted to be cool, and would do anything to be around the cool kids. He just has that, “trying so hard to be funny and cool attitude” but he can’t pull it off, because he’s an idiot. Tony Snow would mop the floor with this guy.”
Ditto- Gibbs is nothing be a fool
are we at 1000 yet???!!!
FINALLY THE TRUTH IS OUT!
THE EMPEROR MARXIST/COMMUNIST HAS NO CLOTHES!!!!!
Gibbs should change his name to Glib. His arrogance matches that of his boss, and together they are an embarrassment and a disgrace. The election of “The One” was the biggest mistake in US history. It will be a miracle if the US survives even four years of these pathetic and dangerous fools.
WHERE WERE ALL YOU NAY-SAYERS AND WHINERS WHEN BUSH AND CO. WERE LEADING US DOWN THE GARDEN PATH AND GETTING US INTO THE MESS WE’RE IN??? WHY WEREN’T YOU SPEAKING OUT THEN?? OBAMA INHERITED THIS MESS AND HE’S DOING THE BEST HE CAN TO CLEAN IT UP. IT TOOK EIGHT YEARS OF BUSHIT TO GET US IN THIS MESS AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO GET OUT OVER NIGHT. AND DON’T FORGET 9/11 HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH. HE WAS WARNED AND DIDN’T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE WARNINGS OF AN EMMINENT ATTACK. SO THERE 9/11 IS THE FAULT OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION LOOKING THROUGH ROSE COLORED GLASSES AND SAYING EVERYTHING IS A-OK.
AS FOR ‘PACKED’ AND ‘HAND-PICKED’ PEOPLE AT A TOWN MEETING…THAT’S THE WAY IT’S ALWAYS BEEN. THIS IS NOTHING THAT STARTED WITH THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. GET A LIFE PEOPLE!
At least people are now starting to see that Obama had no real plan from the beginning, all he had were fancy words and empty promises. He has no answers and i fear for my generation.
Ryan needs to learn patience.
DON’T GET EXCITED. Too many people are excited that Chip and Helen finally said something. They were objecting to the PROCESS, not to WHAT was being asked. Same old, same old, it’s still crooks trying to do the wrong things right.
Finally, the sleeping, fawning, main news media is finally getting it. The Obama Administration is taking over America and making it into a Fascist State, and dissent will not, and is not, tolerated. It is George Orwell’s 1984.
Even the infamous Helen Thomas had the courage to speak up about it to the Press Secretary, Gibbs. Maybe there is hope yet for America. It has nothing to do with color or race, but Obama is the Manchurian Candidate, and the second terrorist attack against America. No foreign government could do more damage and a more concerted effort to bring this nation to ruin than what Obama and his socialist Administration, along with the leftist Congress is doing to destroy our country. Throw in a liberal Judicial system, and this country is now on the brink. Wake up. America and get these Communists out of there.
Well, the one thing that I have not seen posted here is the simple truth.. Obama, according to the constitution, can not legally hold the office of president, because he was not born here in the US. BUT the main thing that no one is focusing on is that he is a 100% died in the wool MUSLIM.. He is wanting to force Israel to give half of it’s country to the MUSLIMS who will sysemaitcally destroy what’s left if the Lord did not intervene. Fortunately, he will. Our country was founded on CHRISTIAN principles, and Hussein said it himself.. “the US is NOT a Christian country”.. the only hope we have is for unified repentence and a great turning back to Jesus Christ. The voters wanted change, by golly, we got it.. ISLAMIC Fascism.. Just take a look at Iran.. that’s what the O man wants, and that’s what Satan wants.. America wants gay marriage, abortions, and fascism… well, the results are written in the book of Revelation. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, it WILL happen…
PREY for this country, it is our only hope
Someone tell me how we’re going to survive four years of the Marxist devil.
He’ll have time to ruin everything three or four times by then.
Doesn’t anyone find it ironic that Chip and Helen are attack Gibbs for trying to control the media, meanwhile the Washington Post just got caught trying to host private events where lobbyists and heads of trade groups could attend for $25,000 a pop to speak off the record with Washington Post journalists and editors, and members of the Obama administration (though no members of the administration accepted the invitation).
Allowing lobbying groups to whisper into the ears of the media, that’s about as far away from honest journalism as it gets. We all know that the Obama administration has always been keen on keeping their message consistent, if they want to vet questions at a Town Hall meeting, and invite some of the participants (remembers some were invited by the Community College) it doesn’t mean that they want to cover something up, it means that they want to make sure a variety of perspectives and questions are raised, but at the same time making sure Obama’s message on health care stays consistent and coherent.
This is not the first time, and certainly not the last, that Obama is answering questions about health care. The Press Corp had the opportunity to grill him in a press conference last week, and he’s already had Health Care Town Hall meetings.
Being Press Secretary is a thankless and difficult job. Robert Gibbs so far has done an incredible job. He’s been knowledgeable and able in answering the many complex, prodding, subterfuge laden questions that are hurled at him daily. Gibbs is the first press secretary to change the power structure in the press room. The power’s at the podium now, not in the audience. Gibbs is the first press secretary to take the helm when the news industry is really hurting, and he’s taking advantage of having that edge over them.
ITS ABOUT TIME. Obama cannot take ant criticism, not transparent, look out America. Because of him, we are in trouble.Like a spoiled brat who wants CONTROL. You go Ms Thomas.
I would like to throw him a question, “Where is the birth certificate at” How much money have you spent to keep people from digging up information on Obama. He needs to get out of the office before he runs this country into the ground.
Things are going well. Obama has started implementing the plan we developed in 1945 after WWII. Soon the United States will be a Communist State and part of Russia. Obama is a good party man and has done an excellent job so far.
he means let’s play fake town hall meeting as it’s all been all along. he’s laughing and he’s clearly not happy the press are calling him (gibbs) out for the poseur he is. it’s funny to see the left actually sticking they’re finger in the eye of the white house spin machine and calling them on it as gibbs face is clearly showing his anger and surprise that he’s being exposed for this little false press conference (thm).
They are all Socialists to the Core. State-ists. I voted for Mitt – I hope thats our
the repubs “Front-Runner”.
Whats even sick to think about is how most Presidents get re-elected too. Please no.
@ Angel:
Angel, are you really Barb in disguise?? Scroll back up this huge blog and read Barb’s comment, also in ALL CAPS. You just changed your name, right??
Has the Emancipation Proclamation recently been rescinded?? We are all becoming a nation of slaves, which we once fought a Civil War to overcome; slaves who will ultimately work to fork over 90% of their pay in taxes because of this Socialist government.
From “V for Vendetta”(2005): “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
It’s about time the press started waking up and attacking the Obama propiganda machine! Keep it up guys, the truth and diligence will bring us back our freedoms and place the government back in control of the people where it belongs.
Ask the question!! DON’T BE AFRAID!! ASK THE QUESTION!
“WHERE”S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?????” before it’s too late!
How about Jeff Gannon?
gibbs is a jerk. why do we have to pay his salary? this is just sickening.
[...] Helen Thomas wakes up at a press conference and laces into the press secretary, you know things are starting to get unglued for the anointed one. Just watch that mary, Robert [...]
If Gibbs is speaking for the President, and if Gibbs is clearly equivocating, what conclusion might we come to? Controlling the press is the end of democracy, folks. I am SO proud of Reid and Thomas!!!!! Thank you to them. I have never in my long lifetime seen such a rapid decline in popularity as we’re seeing right now. What a shockingly different person we have in office than the one who campaigned. On the trail, he made EVERYONE feel he was a good guy, one of us. Even those who didn’t vote for him saw the charisma and the hope he offered. Now he seems to be bent on changing America to his liking and to be treating all of its citizens–including journalists–as if he knows best and those who disagree are stupid or wrong. This path is so dangerous that I fear for all of us. Hopefully, voters will wake up enmasse–and soon.
[...] let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we, because, the MSM seems to have forgotten the online town hall debacle and the control the Obama White House has had on them since the 2008 election. In addition, American Spectator previously reported: Using [...]
