I voted for Obama...still respect him....and think he will be a great president.

But, this adoration for Gibbs is obviously liberal bias. This dude is practically incoherent, can't string two sentences together without looking like an idiot. Maybe they are laughing at him, which would explain a lot.

Looking into rear view mirrors only will cause a wreck

James - I know you claim to be an "progressive liberal," or whatever other code word to shield the fact that you are a Kool-Aid drinker. Regardless, at some point my friend, it is imperative you stop focusing so much George W. Bush. He is no longer in office. I know that you need justification to rationalize your disappointment in the "Messiah," but seriously how many times are you going to kick the dead horse.

I am sure Gosh will try to come to your rescue and begin with his personal attacks against claiming I am some right-wing nut job, so let me go ahead and preface him.

Bush did a good job with national security, he DID push for some regulations of Fannie and Freddie, he kept taxes lower.

Bush did a POOR job on expanding government in education and health care and failed completely on immigration reform.

Overall, I did appreciate Bush serving as President, but I am not so blinded by the light of one to fail to recognize his faults.

Who is William Gates? If this were Bush - the media and Democrats would be all over him...

See the double standard yet James?

Those who are getting their funding increased are laughing too

The war profiteers are laughing all the way to the bank. On April 9, 2009, the new administration, headed by the allegedly 'anti-war' candidate Barry Soetoro requested, in a final emergency supplemental, an additional $77.1 billion in war spending. Estimates are that approximately $52.7 billion of that will be for Iraq and the remaining $24.4 billion for Afghanistan.

Meanwhile here in North Carolina, its budget cutting time for health and human service programs.

I think citizenopinionated has it right, this proves that Obama Administration is a joke.

Well the Obama adminisytration does have a 80% favorable rating from the Press Corp. And GE which owns NBC and MSNBC have been doing everything they can to give Obama cover.

Speaking of jokes

Just shows that this administration is a joke...

Thanks for proving the point that many of us have had for so long...

Ironic considering the economy, foreign affairs and other issues facing the country are no laughing matter...

Was this before or after Gibbs lulled everyone to sleep during his presser?

Ah, the good old days before the election

Come on, Bill. Seeing this "greatest hits" blog is depressing. Next thing you know, you'll be putting on a lot of weight and singing (blogging, whatever) at dinner theaters and non-debutante weddings.

It's Obamas white house and he should've people he believes in and trust
would you want someone you didn't like or trust around you? This creats a bad situation for all who works there if you don't have people you can TRUST.

I think (and so do most civilized people) that there's a line to be drawn at hate speech. "Some people" have done enough already to incite hatred and violence against Obama, and there's no need for that. It's disgusting. It's not a political view or any sort of "fact" that's being suppressed, it's disgusting hate speech that doesn't serve any purpose. And it reflects poorly on the school and the state (both of which I love). So yeah, whoever did it should keep their KKK-sh*t to theirself.

Free Expression Tunnel ????

If you don't allow ALL comments is really "free expression"?

Mike27513 - are you defending the racial slurs painted in the Free Expression Tunnel this weeK? I hope to God not. Or maybe that was you who painted it. As an NCSU grad I'm excited and proud that Gibbs has achieved this post. Congratulations to him.

NCSU Supression of Free Speech

Great! Now we will be able to get the Party Line directly without going through the Ministry of Truth!
NSCU should have prepared him well for suppression of Free Speech based on an earlier article in the Raleigh Red Star.
