Title: Childish stunts and outright lies.

Is it any wonder the people think they are a bunch of children?

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took a swipe at Sarah Palin Tuesday, mimicking the former vice presidential candidate's decision to use her hand as a notepad at the National Tea Party Convention last week.

At the daily press briefing, Gibb showed his left hand with writing on it, which apparently was his grocery list to purchase ahead of the expected snowstorm.

Scrawled on his hand were :

-- Milk

-- Bread (crossed out)

-- Eggs

-- Hope

-- Change

The press secretary said he crossed out bread, just so I can make pancakes."

Palin had seven words scrawled on her hand during the convention, which led some left-leaning bloggers to mock her, in particular, after she joked about President Obama's extensive use of the teleprompter.

Having a grocery shopping list on there seems kind of sexist to me, but the Feminazis won't see it that way.

We'll have to hire a babysitter for the White House until the adults return.

Press corpse wasn't impressed, either.  Gibbering Gibbs always resorts to ridiculing the messenger when he can't refute the message.

FIFY  Gibbs has been lampooned as Baghdad Bob for over a year now.

I know. I'm trying to keep at least one of my new years' resolutions to be nicer...  :-)

The truth comes out about what Gibbs really has on his hand for every press conference.

Pretty telling that he had "hope" and "change" written down.  Those things have yet to be provided by the Obama administration.

He didn't really say it would be change for the better.

I can almost understand the attacks on Plain from the lefty blogs and their ilk, but when this comes from the White House itself, it is really telling.  Sarah has been hitting hard and truthfully at Lord Zero and his policies, and she has been speaking to many of the real concerns of middle America. The left, and the White House really need to marginalize her to try and prevent more people from listening to her.

Yes, I do think they are afraid, if not of her, but her ideas and her ideals.

President Bush never attacked his critics. Obama makes a habit out of it.

That is because Bush is a class act and the POTUS is a moron

It's sad when our President finds it somehow necessary to bow to all the wrong people, and acts like Leno or Conan O'Brien towards those that point out his faults.  One of his major mistakes is cheapening the office and the White House.  He's even worse than HillBilly.

You have no idea how critical what you said really is.  Today Chinas military told their government to sell US Bonds on the market to punish us for selling weapons to Taiwan.  Also with all the debt load now the Fed is talking about raising rates which must happen yet with the crap they have done it will also be devastating.  Yet the White House is making a circus show out of itself. 

The end result....

No one in the world will take this administration seriously, especially Iran.  They are hopelessly exposing our backside to the world for someone to put a big fat boot right up our backside.

Its so sickening and we will pay for it... dearly.

Very true.  Whats more, when that takes place there will be a systematic collapse that no bailout can fix.  In fact, any further attempt to bailout will only make it worse.  The added effect will come from the Euro zones.  Once we begin to unravel, so will they.  You will see an effective shut down of the Western world and while it may begin slowly it will end in explosion with a rapid and sudden fall.

Just saw a clip of the hags from The View--Joy Behar thought it was a friggin riot--so did most of the other yentas in the audience.

And even the Chinese-made shit becomes too expensive for WalMart to buy.  Production at home increases.

Not all bad.  But the Chinese, despite their rapid growth, still have a GDP less than 1/3 the size of ours.  They need us more than we need them--at least for the time being.

True, but the arms sales to Taiwan is not the only thing that is riling China. There is also the scheduled meeting between Lord Zero and the Dali Lama that is coming up soon. China has DEMANDED that 0Bama not meet with him.

I think the White House needs to realize that they are attacking a PRIVATE CITIZEN...

Such class.... :sarcasm:
