During the 10AM ET hour of America’s Newsroom on Fox News Channel, fill-in co-host Martha Maccallum told viewers what President Obama watched on election night while Democrats suffered big losses in New Jersey and Virginia: “Robert Gibbs said, well, he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went.â€

again with the narcissism?
it'll only make waking up on 3 Nov 2010 that much more shocking to him
-
had my clipboard all loaded-up to post this.
It's hard to believe this narcissist has the power to send young Americans into harm's way.
-
he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went.
You mean he doesn't know how it all went?
Shocker.
-
I thought his campaign was a bit longer than one year. Didn't he declare his candidacy in March 2007? More like a year and a half, but the time flies when its all about you.

They should have said anything else but watching something about himself. That really plays into our stereotype of him being a self centered jackass.

It ain't a stereotype if it's true.

I always thought most stereotypes were true.

We were mislead:
At 10:15AM ET during America’s Newsroom on Fox News Channel, co-host Martha MacCallum reported that in a gaggle with reporters Wednesday morning White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs claimed that President Obama did not watch election results Tuesday night but rather watched an HBO special about his 2008 campaign.
A tipster contacted NewsBusters questioning that report and after having acquired a transcript of the press gaggle, we have confirmed that the Fox News report was incorrect and Gibbs did not make any such statement.
Gibbs made this statement at the beginning of the untaped discussion with White House reporters:
One thing I should contextualize – the President obviously got updates about the election last night. He did not watch – as I told some of you – did not watch election returns. I wouldn’t read a ton into that since he didn’t actually watch election returns when he was running. If you did watch the movie on HBO – we called him and told him he won Iowa. He did not watch election returns.
Clearly Gibbs was simply referencing the HBO documentary as evidence that the President does not routinely watch election returns.
Later in the gaggle, Gibbs was again asked if the President watched the election results. Gibbs reiterated: “He was not sitting in front of the TV watching them. Again, I sent him some e-mail updates and I talked to him....He just doesn’t – I mean, again, and I don't mean to sort of oversimplify this, but he never watched them when he was running. He just doesn’t.â€

Please no fake-but-accurate defenses. Wrong is wrong and the reporting on this was flat wrong. Let's bunny-up and admit as much for fairness' sake.

You have to admit though, the story was credible, only because of the arrogance and ego that The One has demonstrated time and again. I'll have to see if Fox and Friends corrects the story tomorrow, or if Martha will do it herself.

Reading Gibbs' statements are even more incoherent than actually listening to them. It's rambling and unclear. But yes, the original story was an error. But it would'nt be out of character for DingleBarry.

The whole iPod full of Obama's greatest hits to the queen of England made it believable.
