White House mouthpiece Robert Gibbs sure has a knack for colorful, childish retorts to legitimate questions.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs slammed Gallup’s daily tracking poll on Tuesday after it showed President Obama’s approval rating had fallen to 47 percent, the lowest approval rating for any president at this stage of his presidency dating back to President Harry S Truman.
“If I was a heart patient and Gallup was my EKG, I’d visit my doctor,” Gibbs said in the morning, off-camera briefing with reporters. “Five days ago there was an eleven-point spread. Now there is a one-point spread. I’m sure a six-year-old with a Crayon could do something not unlike that.”
Gallup’s survey has shown Obama’s approval rating just above or just below 50 percent for most of November. When the president’s rating hit 47 percent, Gallup compared that data with previous presidents at the same stage of their presidency.
I think we’d be better off with six year olds with crayons running things in Washington, DC than we are today.
In the ongoing display of stupidity and incompetence that is the Obama Administration, Gibbs is a real stand-out. But be of good cheer. What few seem to recall now is that it was the tactical manipulation of media and polls that made the Obama Experience a possibility. Problem is, that required not triangulation, as bad as that is, but a polygonal holographic eruption of blahblah taylored to whatever persuadable audience existed in whatever forum. This is how we got the belligerent peacenik Obama, the free-spending liberal deficit hawk Obama, the pensive intellectual break-dancing Obama and other oxymora too numerous and nauseating to recount. But, sadly for Barry, to govern is to choose and to choose is to alienate some previously pacified demographic. Bush was roundly derided among Obama’s homies when he described himself, in the Executive, as “The Decider”. Now, we have The Denier and the argument, Hey, things couldn’t be any worse! that wrought so much destruction on the Bushies has exposed itself as flatly untrue. Change…..
