Actually, the Fox news story is incorrect. Gibbs never said what was attributed to him. This is clearly incorrect and broadcast with no facts to support it. You don't have like to like the President, but don't make up stuff. It demeans your arguments, makes you look foolish, and strenghtens your opponent's side. The truth will win out in the end over false allegations like this fox news piece. Go with God.

1. So is this part of Fox's fair and balanced news reporting, or just part of their political commentary?

2. Is it Town Hall or Fox that appends the sound of people cheering at the end of these video clips?

He watched the dozens of videos of schoolchildren singing his praises - the latest videos are available on utube too. My take on these is I found these to be a blatant intrusion of politics in the school systems - even worse the youth of the ‘victims’. I could not listen to more than a few lines of each after the Hennigan School and I am really disturbed that the ending showed a Thanks to the City Year of Hennigan.

City Year is a TAXPAYER FUNDED Program part of Americorps and they are being used as the the White House National Youth Corps. I for one will be emailing and calling my House and Senate Reps and demanding an investigation into the crossover from ‘civic’ to ‘political’ in the mission for this group operated with our...

This proves how out of touch he is even with his own party. His arrogance is transparent.

"The least you can do is respect a man who's worked hard and honest."

Who would that be? If you are talking about BHO, you are off base.

Someone helped get him through layers of higher education. His first book was supposed to be about racial progress, not an autobiography. It was Masters grant money. He has lied about many,if not all campaign promises....

Or maybe you meant someone else?

Yes - really - it was never said. And Bush went to Yale. And never worked a real day in his life. Got out of real service too - thanks to the rich namby pampy political connections of his Daddy. And the man was born in Connecticut. It's a far cry from Texas. Unless you don't know the difference. Texas does not = rich and priveleged Connecticut. The least you can do is respect a man who's worked hard and honest.

Fox literally made this up. I read the press transcript, and this never happened. Fiction. Speaks volumes to the "quality" of the news source that, this having been pointed out already, the clip remains on the front page.

years, the deluded Prez., will take notice! He is so into his illusions of grandeur and arrogant self, misguided Obama hasn't a clue just how lousy a job he is doing! He considers criticism beneath him, because proud Americans don't know how awlful our Country really is!
How could Obamcan'ts be so brainwashed to elect such a dangerous radical President?! They are not only dependent minded push'overs but they naively and foolishly believed Mighty'Mouths gift of gab false words!

I don't know who is more in denial and out of touch, MSNBC or the 'powers that be'? Ed, Lawrence, Keith, Rachael, Chris etc., all die hard Obamacan'ts! Emanuel and Axelrod are ruthless, unfit politicians and the unwise, ignorant President is ok with that and the anti-America Commies he surrounds himself with!

Sadly most of DC lives in a pipe dream. Professional Politicians just keep thinking we are an endless supply of $$. Seems like Peggy Noonan snapped out of it yesterday? She really nailed it with this Op-Ed;

Just as many have or are abandoning California and NY for their soak the rich attitudes. People are going to quit working. Some will move out of the Country. Been thinking about moving back to Europe myself. If you're gonna pay more in taxes than there, why not. Funny thing the Liberal Elite dont get, European actually have a lot of self responsibility, even the liberals. BHO and Co (Tiny Dancer and Axholerod), Princess P , Mrs Reid, Barney the butt pirate...their idea...

wishful thinking will not materialize! The Presidents true color RED is now quite apparent and his judgment obviously flawed! He has poor instincts and in his arrogant self importance, doesn't identify outside the far liberal box, which is full of radical anti-Capitalist attitudes! Those who can't see the darkness at the end of Obamas tunnel vision are beyond help!
You don't have to be educated or smart to see all the negatives the President has brought us and where his Socialistic/Marxist agenda will lead! Those Ingrates are too ignorant and unrealistic to realize a good thing when they have it. The grass is greener on the other side and the loser 'have nots' covet the 'haves' bounty, Sad! America is the land of the free and...

rest of Lib/Dem politicians have become transparent to all but the naive, gullible dependent minded Celebrity lovers! They are push overs who believe the Presidents distortions of the truth! The Socialist/Marxist have come out of the closet and their anti-Capitalist, unAmerican attitudes are obvious now! The fiscally irresponsible 'Powers that Be' spend our hard earned money on pay backs, buying/bribing voters and shoring up their future connections to maintain their undeserving positions and power! God deliver us from the enemy within!

Obama can well afford to watch sports during important events. He has his czars running the country, Pelosi riding roughshod over and leading the Congress by the nose, and Reid ruling the Senate and locking out the opposition from any discussions. Obama already stated that the Republicans do as they are told so why worry!

he doesn't have a personal copy to watch each evening before he goes beddybye?
I think the reason his minions are blind to his very real mental problems is because they are a mirror image with the same problems.

He loses big in 2010 watch for a major melt down..you know it's coming just like you know a hurricane is on it's way inland. You can feel it.

Okay, something needs to be said. I think Michelle and the girls wanted to support Miley Cirus to keep up with the young white voters who will be deciding their re-election in another 3 years. That makes sense to me.

Obama hanging with himself NOT WATCHING the election returns after he spent ALL DAY SUNDAY campaigning for Corzine - priceless and shameless lie.

I believe Obama was watching the returns and after the PAINFUL loss in NJ, he watched the last successful he had won in NJ as a way to 'picture success again'. Oprah - his marketing machine -supports the ideas of the SECRET religion which says 'if you wish it and think it and picture it over and over again - then it will become a reality'.

Obama was working on...

the WH thinks this proclamation by Gibbs will make people like Obama more. The American people just love ivy tower narcissists who are above it all. Yeah, right. 2010 is coming, better enjoy your "successful campaign" while you can, Chairman Obama.

The White House must have walls and a moat around it - - didn't follow the election, didn't know there were tea parties. I do believe he watched the HBO special about himself. Because he is all about himself not the mood of the country.

No.

Ill mannered, fern bar hangers from WASHDC might move to West Virginia if it was divided into lot sized lots.

Lord, BSC, we have FAR too many of them in Eastern West Virginia now.

Would you believe we now have to get building permits? Well, not exactly. The law is on the books now, but no body gets them.

You guys are a hoot... he was probably cringing in the white house cellar calling "Momma, momma, help me momma"
That HBO should have given him an alibi fit for the obamapress by releasing this "obamamentary" the same day he was facing such defeat makes you want to cancel your suscription to that channel.
In the meantime, I'm still waiting for the funds for my guys overseas...oh well, soon enough I hope.
Be well!

watched the HBO special and interspersed his "thrill" with election results. But when it became clear that those results were "bad" he tuned off the election reporting and focused his complete attention on himself!
