Whoa! Obviously, there is a major lack of verbal competence on the part of Gibbs (or is he just surprised that someone would actually ask him a real question, and thus caught off guard?). Still, what can he say? Tapper is exactly right: Obama has been as transparent as a brick wall since he took office, the list of tax dodgers appointed by Obama is growing almost daily (5 at last count), and the 'stimulus' bill is shedding support faster than a husky in August heat. And how does Gibbs respond?
He ignores the question. Classic Obama.
You know, the more I see of Jake Tapper, the more I like him. He's one of the few in the mainstream media who is apparently unafraid of asking some tough questions, and who isn't apparently bathing in the Obama Kool-Aid on a daily basis. Kudos to an actual reporter who is actually reporting! (I hope he has a good home security system.)
There's my two cents.
