Should Robert Gibbs offer his resignation to President Obama?

is responsible for moving Congress?

Damn, if I had only known I would have called my critters EVERY day as opposed to every other day. Whodathunk we had more power to sway Congress than the head of our party, our President?

Please clarify in case I misread - and if so, my apologies in advance.

Anything else is pandering to the right.

:thumbsup:

Staying on will require the President to take some definitive action. Or not.

Lack of action, or bland action, will still be definitive.

He just let slip what is really being discussed in the WH.

You should not be shocked.

IF you are then you haven't been paying attention.

Mostly i think most people who are angry just feel they got hoodwinked. But I hate to say I told you so.... so I won't.

surprised in any way.

but I don't think this is an incident that warrants a resignation.

I'd say yes.

I'm not convinced of the former, hence calling for the latter would be a wee bit absurd. ;)

to hear them tearing down Pres. Obama. I agree with Gibbs 100%. If we can't stand behind the best president in decades we are fucked.

.. and I have no doubt his statements echo the president's beliefs.

He said exactly what he meant, and it seems pretty clear that he was also reflecting Obama's basic stance too.
:shrug:

So even outside of the controversy du jour, my answer would be yes.

Replace him.

:rofl:

Yep. They're always here every day talking about how we need to band together and make sure we keep the Repubs out of power. They wouldn't talk about staying home on election day or how they've done their bit and are now waiting for the President to do something for them or pitting a primary challenger against him. Never!

Actually, Obama should show Gibbs the door before Gibbs has the chance to pen a resignation.

K & R

Any president can fire staff that is unhelpful or out of step.

Action will talk. Bullshit should walk.

I still don't know what he means by "professional left" so I have no idea who he was trying to offend, though I'm sure he was trying to offend someone and that's not really in the Press Scty job description so maybe he should say something about that, too.

through most of the press conferences and I can't watch him, I don't think he should resign over this incident. I'm positive though that someone else could do a much better job. AND, I wish he would come out in the next meeting and say something just as bad about the extreme right-wing since they are the ones who REALLY need drug-testing.

they hate Obama and have no intention of voting for him in 2012?

But he needs to go, either way.

lots of things being said from the left. Look at Carville's daggers at Obama over the oil spill...look at so many of us that just because Obama didn't do what we wanted him to do. Rather than applaud the fact he has gotten any thing done, we diss him for not doing more.

There is no appreciation for his doing anything positive - everything is a disappointment...and he is equated with Bush - WTF is that about?!? If anyone on the left thinks Obama has failed us so therefore we should just abandon all hope, well you deserve what you get. As for me, I may not agree with everything, but I'm not giving up the fight!

I'm just as frustrated with the naysayers as Gibbs...come on folks, let's get real!


(off the soapbox & I hope I didn't offend anyone, but there ya go...)

There are more liberals destined to get the under the bus treatment.

Dump Gibbs and bring back Van Jones. I want to see Jones as White House Press Secretary dealing with Pox News in their new front center seating at briefings :)

he's his mouthpiece

he should do so with a sincere apology to EVERY Democrat who wants Canadian Style Health Care.
