Robert Gibbs was on both This Week and Meet the Press

Posted: Oct 7, 2012

I don't know why he makes the effort to appear on these programs. His answers to questions are always the same "It was Bush's fault." He should just make a recording of his answers and play them.

My goodness, did he really say that? Do they (sm) - Texan

really not know how stupid that sounds at this point? I guess not. Obama even brought it up once at the debate, I had forgotten about that.

Not his exact words but still blaming Bush. The meaning is the same. - backwards typist

On Meet the Press, he stated:"It takes a long time to dig out of the avalanche of bad decisions the preceded the Obama presidency. And, let's understand this-- once thing they saw in the debate was Mitt Romney's plan is to go back to a failed economic theory of tax cuts for the very rich despite the fact that he denied the existence of tax cuts or the existence of math, the notion of 'let's go to war on Sesame Street and give Wall Street a big wet kiss--that's exactly what got us into this mess. That's what we spent 4 years digging out."

On This Week, he stated: Well, I don't think that was a gaffe (talking about Biden’s latest), George, because I think what the vice president was talking about is what he's talked about every day, which is a series of eight years of horrifically bad economic decisions—Well, we've been digging out from what was an avalanche of bad economic decisions over the past eight years during the Bush administration. What Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to do is take us back to that exact same failed economic theory, top-down tax cuts, eviscerating the investments we know we need to grow our economy from the middle out, rather than from the top down.

Now, from what I read and understand in their plans, this is NOT the case. Romney does NOT want to give Wall Street a "big, wet kiss." He wants to REFORM Wall Street just like President Bush wanted and tried to do in 2005.

Now, from what I read and understand in R&R plans, this is NOT the case. Romney does NOT want to give Wall Street a "big, wet kiss." He wants to REFORM Wall Street just like President Bush wanted, and tried, to do in 2005 but the dems blocked him every step of the way. The dems thought everything was hunky-dory and there was nothing wrong with Wall Street or Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Just like the Senate dems are doing in Congress today against the House pubs.

Gave that up, BT. Each side presenting its "spin," then - talking heads' inane discussion. I

shallow and irrelevant speculation about who made more points on TV this week. In the meantime, important events are taking place we never hear about from them.

Shame on me for once again wasting my time trying to research the latest in your virtually continual series of unsubstantiated claims. The only thing I found that remotely references your "not-exact-words" impression is a clip from April 2012. What are you referring to this time?

Uh, did you read the subject line? That's where it came from - backwards typist

He said this THIS MORNING, not April 2012. Watch Meet the Press. A rerun is on now...or you can watch it very early tomorrow morning on either MSNBC or an NBC station. Didn't I also put those words in quotes? That meant I typed word-for-word from the Meet the Press show and This Week show this morning.

But then, when you think about it, isn't it always repetition from the dems?

Case in Point: Robert Casey ad: Same talking points the dems have been saying for the past 2 years and still not true.

uh, did you read your original post to which I was responding? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
In your OP, you quoted: "It was Bush's fault." I was not the first poster to question whether that was the actually said. You put quotes around it.

Okay, got me on those quotes, but he's still blaming Bush - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]
and my other post did quote Gibbs word for word.

Should I have only put a single quote around 'it's Bush's fault'? :-)

Why does someone else have to research anything:: - for you? Try actually watching the whole program

[ In Reply To ..]
and you'd know exactly what Robert Gibbs said...the same old blame Bush mantra after 4 years. Get a new song.

So, I am extremely liberal--by this venue's standards anyway.

I was told by one of my friends that I should watch Carson on Meet the Press...it was outrageous, funny, (all the other side political jabbing, you know how it goes, most of you do it with Hilary).

I read an article today and had seen part of Meet the Press this morning where Hillary said Trump should release his tax returns. She's not the only one saying this and I can't believe I agree with her on that subject!!! Cokie and Steve Roberts also had a good article on Trump and his taxes in the local paper today. What gets me is the Trumpeters think it's okay for Trump to hide his taxes and it's okay that he's part of the 1% group, but in 2012 they were all ...

and the use of transparent "code word" insults they'd be really disappointed if we all didn't understand. Contrary to how some in the GOP like to style him, General Powell is a conservative, but despite all the honors and respect he has earned he has the usual non-white conservative's problem with acceptance by today's GOP. He's not leaving, though. Like most of us, he understands that the GOP must change if it is to survive as a major voice in American politics. This ...

press corps is told that President John F. Kennedy has a cold; in reality, he is holding secret meetings with advisors on the eve of ordering a blockade of Cuba. Kennedy was in Seattle and scheduled to attend the Seattle Century 21 World’s Fair when his press secretary announced that he had contracted an “upper respiratory infection.” The president then flew back to Washington, where he supposedly went to bed to recover from his cold. Four days earlier, Kennedy had seen photographic ...

In a dig at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took time during Tuesday's briefing to read a mock grocery list that he had written in pen on his left hand. "Eggs, milk and bread," Gibbs read from the black ink stains on his palm, claiming he was going to "make pancakes" for his son Ethan. "I crossed out bread," he added, pointing to the line that, indeed, x-ed bread off the list."I also wrote down hope and change just in case I forgot that word. ...

To quote Bentley: "Anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother."

Reputation: Something that takes a lifetime to build, but only seconds to destroy. Just because a man has behaved honorably in the past is no guarantee that he is doing so now. In the matter of character, history is littered with examples of men who let it slip through their fingers, and Robert Mueller is in peril of doing precisely that. Resign, Mr. Mueller. You have too many painfully obvious conflicts of interest for this job, which are becoming more and more apparent by ...

bringing down President Trump: another women’s march. Which means another public instance of Trump haters shouting slogans to one another and mistaking it for constructive politics.

On March 8, organizers seem to be aiming for a different vibe than the librarians-in-pussy-hats element that made the first women’s march after Trump’s inauguration so adorable.
