Gibbs gives worst answer ever
President Obama's Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, is a complete moron. How did he ever get this job and how does he still have it? Glenn plays the response he gave to the simple question 'how much did the date night cost?' that he completely mangles. Say or do anything, ANYTHING, besides pause forever and say 'is that the air conditioner?' You are the press secretary for the love of Pete! Glenn reacts to Obama's date night. Ref. Source 6
This guy is really under some serious pressure. You will really have to love your work in order to accept a job like that. I think he does reasonably well in echoing what the President has to say given he can't say more than is expected of him.

Is Robert Gibbs Right About the "Professional Left"?
By Mike Whitney
Obama can talk-the-talk, but he can't walk-the-walk. He can roll up his sleeves, point at the horizon, and work his magic on a stadium full of fans. But he can't shut down Gitmo or indict a few bankers who blew up the financial system. Ref. Source 1

Hypocrisy: Obama says $172k is 'modest' pay
President Obama explained why Robert Gibbs would be moving on and the biggest reason seemed to be so Gibbs could go out there and get rich because he's been working six years with 'relatively modest pay'. Gibbs earns $172,200 a year. This is coming from a President who has constantly hammered 'the rich' and has even said that people can earn 'too much' money. Ref. Source 3
