Press Secretary Afraid of a Girl

Robert Gibbs has got to be one of the most classless people alive. His job is to face the press and make the case for the President. Inherent in that job is a responsibility to act with professionalism and decorum.

Gibbs, however, seems to want to believe he is still part of some type of Animal House fraternity and continually engages in childish behavior. His latest groaner is an attempt to, I guess, poke fun at Sarah Palin. He appeared at today's presser with the words eggs, milk, bread, hope and change written on his hand.

This is a man who wants to be taken seriously and is the president's champion in getting out a message. Well, whatever message you are trying to send is getting lost in the antics and the only thing the American people are seeing is an entire administration that does not take the role of governing this country responsibly.

They see a president who can't decide what to order for dinner without a teleprompter, who constantly whines about what he inherited, begging for bipartisanship, while proclaiming in meetings that he won and, by golly, he is going to ram though whatever pie in the sky dreams of legislation he may have.

The whole administration makes me sick with the way they attack ordinary citizens, whether they be folks attending a Tea Party protest, a townhall meeting, or simply asking a pointed question.

I will be so glad when these people are gone in 2012; but America, a warning. Whoever takes over next is going to have one hell of a time returning prestige and respect back to the office, so choose wisely and insist on a resume.

At least the press didn't play along with his little attempt at humor.
