White House press secretary robert Gibbs is one of the many people surrounding Obama who are actually worse than the president. I just saw this latest example:
After Obama admitted to Matt Lauer on the Today show that he had not bothered to speak to the CEO of BP in the eight plus weeks since the oil began pouring into the Gulf, Gibbs was asked to explain. Gibbs said that Obama had not spoken to the CEO because under corporate governance rules, the CEO needed approval from the board of directors before he could take certain significant actions. Obviously, Gibbs does not understand how a modern multinational corporation works, but that is not the point. When gibbs was then asked if Obama had spoken to any of the members of BP's "all-powerful" board of directors, gibbs quick response was that he had not.
Gibbs is such a schmuck.
