You surely know the drill by heart: Barack Obama promised to run the most transparent White House in history – avoiding lobbyists, publicizing donations and televising health-care debates on C-Span. You also certainly know that he’s broken his pledge in every possible respect. But what’s even more offensive to me is his arrogance and defiance in the process.
Exhibit A – and this was so egregious it’s the only proof you should need – was press secretary Robert Gibbs’ recent exchange with WorldNetDaily correspondent Les Kinsolving at a White House briefing. I watched the video of the exchange, and it was infuriating – infuriating to see an arrogant, youngish smart aleck in a position of power taunting and ridiculing an elder member of the press corps, who was respectfully questioning him about Obama’s striking inaccessibility.
I will quote portions from the transcript, but I implore you to watch the short video: You simply can’t get the full flavor of Gibbs’ despicably supercilious, insulting and disrespectful attitude without watching it. There is no excuse for anyone to treat someone as Gibbs did Kinsolving, but there is infinitely less of an excuse given his position of representing the president of the United States, who owes the public and the press corps presumably representing it a profound duty of accountability – a duty he would owe even if Obama didn’t make his cynical promise of unparalleled openness.
Kinsolving asked Gibbs why President Obama has “held not a single White House press conference since last July,” considering “President Franklin Roosevelt’s 998 press conferences.”
Gibbs retorted that Obama took eight questions from the White House press corps at the Nuclear Security Summit. “What would you call that?”
Unbowed, Kinsolving said: “That was not a press conference. It was a select few reporters. It was not a White House press conference.”

Gibbs, the claymation Whitehouse cartoon figure, never ceases to amaze in his arrogance, ignorance and condescending attitude…Where is the hook? Get this clown off the stage!
Once Obozo is out of office (not soon enough), there will be a long line of folks who will be waiting to kick Bobby Gibbs' ass. He is protected by Obozo's THUGS presently, but that will soon be over…..then he better get some new Nikes, so he can try to outrun the multitudes who will be chasing him. Is it any wonder that an arrogant, narcissistic, illegal immigrant, unlawful, anti-American, racist, etc., person, who unlawfully holds the highest position in the World, would have a spokesperson who is just like him. Remember, Obozo and especially Gibbs, can't hide forever. One can fool some of the people some of the time, but one can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Great post!
Robert Gibbs is an arrogant, egotistical bast—! He has no respect for himself, therefore, he is incapable of respect for others. 0 is the same. He won't hold a press conference because he may have to answer questions and he would be lost–esp without his teleprompter. Plus being advised of the questions beforehand. this whole admin is a joke! IMPEACH NOW!!!!
BarryO is very Transperant, – but you really have to listen to him, and as well keep records of his actions and words.
I don't mean the trash that MSNBC, or NBC, CBS,or ABC pumps out like so much bilge water from a sinking ship.
As far as BarryO goes he is a true blue 100% "Narcissist," he also is a 100% straight forward lyre, I seem to recall thats called a – "SOCIOPATH." Robert Gibbs is BarryO's lap doggie and will do what ever he is told to do.
Robert Gibbs is the worst Press Secretary to a sitting President of the US ever – he will always be the ignorant selfish and sarcastic liar no matter what kind of job Robert holds! He needs to go as well as the POTUS!!
Woody Allen ought to be happy to know that Obama is on track to ascend to a dictators status regardless what the propaganda ministers lead their dupes to believe. I doubt however he intends to keep that status for only a few years.
.ROBERT GIBBS IS A IDILOT .HE DONT HAVE THE SLIGHEST IDEAL WHAT HE SAIDS …
He protrudes the same arrogance as Husein does….what should we expect. After all, the American Voting Public (dumbest animal ever invented) elected these dictators for handouts!!!!
Gibbs is a disrespectful liberal ass. Redundant: two out of three.
Gibbs, You ignorant Fool!!
Perfect example of arrogance on the part of this Administration and the "Ruling Class"….Obama is a liar, a cheat, a thug, and an ideologue and his haughty attitude toward us the American people is clearly on display in this video…..Turn out the lights on the Democrats and ALL Socialists, Progressives, Liberals, Statists, Communists. ….Forever! Once voted out we need to make their political leanings a litmus test like they do for us who want to serve in the military….If I was to say that I was a Socialist or a Communist they would deny my access to the military as a member. We need to submit potential politicians to the same test…..Obama has surrounded himself with arrogant leftists who hate us and do all they can to humiliate us the American People at every turn….Down with these turncoats and let's throw them out this election and in 2012…..Then we can go about the business of repairing the damage these criminals have done to our precious Constitution and our Republic…..God help us if we stand by and let them bull doze our country into the ditch…..We are here and we will NOT be silent!
