Our great White House Press Secretary at work

In his press briefing today, Robert Gibbs fielded some questions about the administration's effort to slander the plurality of Americans who don't like the Democrats' health care plan. Here, Jake Tapper asks Gibbs about his claim that the video that shows Barack Obama advocating "single payer" medicine is "misinformation":
QUESTION: Is it misinformation that in 2003 President Obama, then a state senator, supported a single-payer health care system?
GIBBS: I think, again, if you look at the statements that have been put up on other Internet sites that splice a bunch of stuff together, and I think if you look at the answers that state senator, U.S. senator, and President Barack Obama has given on that, I think -- we hope to provide people with a full and accurate picture, not something that -- only the words that opponents might want to see.

Sounds like Rich answering a straight forward question.

It's telling, though, that Gibbs viciously slanders those who oppose Obama's policies, and then can't string a coherent sentence together when asked to back up his claims.

Later in the press briefing, Gibbs was asked about the administration's "fishy" email program. Once again, no answers were forthcoming:
QUESTION: Do you know how many e-mails have been sent to the flag@whitehouse.gov address?
And, secondly, isn't the White House required by law to save all correspondence it receives? So will it be informing individuals whose e-mails have been forwarded that they might want to have a chance to correct the historical record about the alleged fishiness of their e- mails?

GIBBS: I, for the life of me, didn't understand your question.(CROSSTALK)GIBBS: Obviously, the National Archives documents correspondence with the White House.
QUESTION: So the people whose e-mails have been forwarded, they won't be informed that their e-mails are being forwarded to the government?
GIBBS: I -- maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure you're hatching some nefarious plot, but I, for the life of me, can't understand it.

How did this idiot get this job? He must have pictures of Barry.

This administration is now sinking into the muck that the Communists and Facists used asking citizens to rat out others who send e-mails that they believe are "fishy" towards Obamacare.

The Emperors clothes are plainly starting to come into view for all to see. Watch the Independent voters bemoan the fact that they were gullible enough to believe that "Change" would be for their good and not just for Democratic radical left wing special interest groups.
