Getting Ready for the Gibbs Slap

In yesterday’s press conference, Robert Gibbs said, “I’m not going in order to be freed up to say a series of things that I might not otherwise say.” Except that it is the exact opposite of what he will do. The Hill writes:

By releasing Gibbs from the niceties required at the briefing-room podium, Obama has unleashed his most efficient attack dog on would-be critics from both the right and the left as he gears up for a reelection bid next year.

Political strategists believe that “Gibbs will be free to speak more openly for Obama outside the White House.”

“He [Gibbs] really enjoys it and slows it down, almost dares you to cut him off before the knife is fully twisted.”
