Robert Gibbs Makes My Ears Ache!

In case you missed any of the latest press conferences by White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, we have included them below:

When asked about whether or not General McChrystal would be fired, his response was:

“ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….

When asked about the referendum that recently passed in Fremont Nebraska to banish illegal immigrants, his response was:

“ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”……

When asked about the South Carolina runoff results, his response was:

“ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”……

When asked about the judge overturning the six month moratorium on drilling in the Gulf, his response was:

“ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….

When asked just about anything, his response is:

“ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….”ahh”…….“umm”…….

How did this speech challenged person ever get selected to this position in the first place? One of the most annoying traits in speaking is the use of verbal tics, also known as “filler words”. If he would work on eliminating them maybe his message would get through. In the meantime most listeners are just counting. Here are a few suggestions that he might use to overcome his impediment:

Record yourself and study the playback is your 1st step. Your 2nd step is to allow yourself to pause instead of filling that space with annoying sounds. The 3rd step is to pay more attention to yourself when you are speaking.

I don’t see much future for him once he completes this gig if he doesn’t take an advanced class to improve his speech delivery.

Robert Gibbs is the Laughing Stock of Washington!

Aside from having to sit agonizingly through his White House press conferences while suffering through his speech impediments that consist of “Ahhhh…………Ahhhhhh…….. Ahhhhhh………..Ahhhhh” he was totally foolish in thinking that anyone would believe his comment on the Christmas bomber.  During an interview on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Robert Gibbs stated that the Christmas day bomber was interviewed for 15 minutes before being read his Miranda Rights and that they got all the available information they thought they would get from him.

Give me a break! Here’s a terrorist that just fried his balls with an underwear fire bomb and was more than likely asking for medical treatment. Gibbs wants you to believe that in fifteen minutes they obtained all that they felt they would get? This is just another example of how the Obama administration has weakened our defense.

We’ve also heard from Senator Chris Dodd. Remember him? He’s the guy who remarked back on Dec 23rd “We Will Always Remember This Day!” after 60 Democrats approved the Senate version of the health care bill? Well, he may be thinking about his chances of winning in his upcoming re-election since he is now telling fellow Democrats to  ”take a breather for awhile”. Isn’t it amazing what can happen when 40 becomes 41, as in Scott Brown’s win in Massachussetts.

So now we move from health care to the economy (apparently surgically-altered Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t get the memo) as the State of the Union address approaches. After one year in office the Obama administration is FINALLY going to focus on job creation. Their stimulus efforts were a failure, to the point that even the reporting had to be altered to fudge the job creation numbers. Obama will be talking about deficit reduction that in his words “didn’t happen overnight”. That’s true, much of it happened over the last year with him at the wheel, bailing out Wall Street, bouying up the auto industry, sending more jobs overseas with his Cap & Trade just to name a few.
