“Alright well listen, obviously Gibbs’ departure is not the biggest one today.” - President Obama
Today is WH Press Secratary Robert Gibbs final day.

“Fox News chairman Roger Ailes: Obama “has not been very successful” and has a “different belief system than most Americans.”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs: “I think if you watch most of the programming on that channel, I don’t think you would find many of those comments surprising.”
“Jon Stewart is about as good an interviewer as there is in the public domain right now.”
“[Sherrod] says she was most struck by how this would play to her grandkids. That the first black rural director in Georgia was fired by the first black President.”
“
Question: Is Pres. Obama concerned Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann trashed his speech?
Robert Gibbs: No. Cable TV is “not where all real Americans live.”
”Interesting answer from Gibbs but Stewart has yet to trash Obama’s speech. The Daily Show is taped at 7pm. Stewart always references, as he did last night, when something big is scheduled to be addressed after the taping of his show.
15 minutes after the Prez addresses the nation tonight White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs will answer questions directly from people like you on youtube.
“I point you to what [Interior] Secretary Salazar said about — I think the phrase was — at least the phrase I heard earlier in the week with him was to keep the boot on their throat. So I think that kind of sums up in that Western Colorado way how — what we’re trying to convey.”
WH press secretary Robert Gibbs on Pres. Obama’s approach to BP
Vice President Joe Biden got a little over-enthusiastic at the health care signing ceremony Tuesday.
Biden shook hands with and hugged President Obama after introducing him and praising his resolve in the fight. He then leaned in toward the president’s ear to say something, but the mic was still on and caught his words.
“This is a big fucking deal!” he told Obama…
Biden’s comment was clearly audible and noticed by many. And White House chief spokesman Robert Gibbs didn’t pretend otherwise.
“And yes Mr. Vice President, you’re right…” he wrote on Twitter minutes later.

SOCIALIST!
“I don’t know why they’d feel uncomfortable, they made the decision. Look, the president disagreed, and polls show 80 percent of the country disagrees with that decision. The president would have said that in that room had they been sitting in that row or not been there at all.”
“In the wake of Robert Gibbs’ disclosure that Obama would like to go on Stewart’s show, a Comedy Central spokesman confirms to me that the President is welcome to come on the show at the time of the President’s choosing.”
