Let me see if I …. uh… uh… try to seek… uh… uhh… some answer on that.
Ladies and gentlemen, the great Robert Gibbs in action. The unidentified reporter ought to be heard from more often: maybe she can ask President Obama the same question, if he ever holds another press conference.
Your tax dollars at work.

Ever see Scanners?
Come on….. what would you expect from someone who counts on his fingers?
Only 26 seconds long? Wow! O would've stuttered through "uhms" and "uhs" for 17 minutes before NOT answering question.
Should have borrowed Barack's magic teleprompter!
Get the man a TelePrompTer!
Man, I miss Tony Snow.
I swear I heard the "Jeopardy" jingle in the background as Gibbs stumbled on his answer while pissing his pants.

Did you notice all of a sudden without a trial we are exchanging the russian spies ? no answers ? no connection to our goverment officials ? just after 10 years and maybe millions of dollars spent on fbi surveilance nothing ? like black panthers just let the commies go , unfreaking believable !!! afraid we might find out who the real commies are OBAMA ??
four words for Gibbs, You are a douchebag
I wonder if her press pass will be revoked?
Also, that question needs to be repeated daily till Gibby gives an answer. Asked several times daily to all members of the administration. Make 'em answer.
Holey smokes, Gibbs' gobbeldygook tank needs to be refilled.
Well, I'd say this: never ask a question you already know the answer to.
We already know why the Department of Justice isn't suing Rhode Island rather than Arizona… or Michigan. Or any of these municipalities.
It's because the left has a serious hate-on for Arizona right now.
I had the pleasure of spending four hours in Arizona this past summer, and I loved every minute of it. Personally I can't wait to go back. Consider it my Arizona anti-boycott.
Look at his Mentor/Boss
And you are suprised ?
Hahahahaha
Who WAS that reporter?
She will need to visit a re-education camp. How dare she asks a question that is not on the pre- approved list. It's blasphemy I tell you.
A racist ,teabagging, homophobic,America Loving ,Patriot
/thats what Gibbs was overheard saying
I hope she keeps digging and asking the Right questions
Gibbs reply, "Um, Scanners? Ah, um, duh, see or not see? dur, hmm, uh, can't answer wrong! Um, ah, Furur be mad! um, ugh err, Next question! whew!"
I believe the sanctuary cities get away with not enforcing immigration laws by using the arguement that "it is not in the state or city's rights to enforce federal law". This is the reasoning being used by Obama and Holder to sue Arizona. I don't know why Gibbs couldn't think of this.
If the expressions um, umm and uh ceased to exist, all members of the current regime would be silenced.
I want this commie punk to wallow in a supermax with Odumblo they can take turns being each others toy. I've no use for any of this talking bobble heads. They lie they cheat they destroy from with in. One day they'll be caught locked up and we can all rejoice in the streets.
Hey Gibsy the answer is easy. The lady is right. Man up sissy.
Hmm. What was that question Major Garrett asked of Gibbs and he kept responding he'd have to look into it but never did? I'm going to assume this question will fall into the same category.
Way to go Bobby, about as coherent as Daffy Duck and Porky Pig after a tounge piercing contest. But I find this is the usual responce to any interesting question posed.
Gibbs is a Mush-Mouth. He makes lying weasels seem respectable.
This proves that Obama's lawsuit against MY state will not hold water. When the administration is confident, they are cocky. Gibbs has frequently told people to stuff it, sit down and shut up. He's also surprised that the soft questions are not coming his way, you can see it. This is not the first time he was stumped. I know the lawsuit will fail. They will lose credibility (again) and have to slink back into their celebrity filled soirees to lick their wounded pride.
May he rest in peace.
What's it matter that the smarmy Gibbs insults intelligences, like the WH press have any brains, after the clueless journo hacks are treated like fools they then wake up the next morning re-grouping to keep the flawed lefty/Obama narrative alive.
Every day these mindless WH press sheeple assemble, are fed the WH's talking points and excuses and we all know what the media's scripted outcome looks like.
Sadly, this creepy nightmare will only pass when a solid 10% more Americans get their heads screwed on.
"I need to get some kind of answer on that" — which being translated means — we smart people didn't thing about that one, but we will get together and come up with some kind of lame excuse.
I see what you are saying, but isn't this also a ruse?
What if the States, Counties, Cities decided that they were not going to enforce the Federal drug laws and they repealed any laws on their books that mirrored the Federal laws?
Hey those laws must be "unenforceable" because after several decades of a "war on drugs" there has been no progress. Drug trafficking is an even bigger problem now than it was 30 years ago, why else would all of the drug cartels want free access to the U.S.??
Nice to see that "Beltway Bob" hasn't lost his touch. I've see some bad press secretaries, but he's one of the worst. I wonder how long it will be before he has to "Spend some more time with the family" and is kicked out of the job?
You didn't actually think the White House Press Secretary was actually going to give you some information, did you?
There is never a follow-up on these things. The Press barely cares. There is NO accountability!! Just diversion and smoke and mirrors…
Same here.
Glad to see that arrogant ass tripped up. Gibbs demeans so many and yet knows so little.
WAS, is the word. Bet they get taken out to the woodshed by the LSM!
The only thing she'll be digging is her own grave. Will her family get a bill for the bullet?
Pwned!
Hey…he had on the PURPLE and white tie..give the man a break /sarc
My husband leaves for a business trip and has a stopover in Phoenix. I told him to spend a little money there and maybe bring me back a nice souvenir.
Someone you'll never see there again. She probably got re-assigned to the fluffy poodle beat as soon as her editor found out.
That also doesn't explain why they aren't suing RI which has the same sort of law AZ just passed by virtue of executive order.
Advise him that you can catch a free bus from the Airport into the city, then ride their LRT system for a buck or two.
There's a great New York Deli downtown.
Caesar Chavez Park was kinda cool. (That's where I learned who Caesar Chavez actually was. He looked nothing like Caesar Romero.)
Clever way to turn the tables on the administration
…
Plus she's hot

now that you mention it, i was expecting his head to explode…
somebody's gotta dub that in!
yep- that's the last we'll see of her…
you left out 'unprecedented'…
let's hope their big bluff goes the way of Obambi's off-shore drilling moratorium.
given what he has to work with, what's he gonna do?
i think he and the young gal (young way back then, anyway) who had that post during Clinton's Reign of Error are probably meeting for drinks. dang, what was her name??? i can see her face but can't quite come up with it. (Dee Dee Myers- thank you, Google!)
God bless Mr. Snow!
Wow! A good question from the media. Looks like a right-wing plant to me…[sarc]
"The unidentified reporter ought to be heard from more often: maybe she can ask President Obama the same question, if he ever holds another press conference."
You honestly think the White House will ever invite her back to another press conference?
She's probably on the Siberia beat now. Too bad. Hers are exactly the types of questions needing to be asked and answered.
Who was that masked woman?
I don't know who she is, but we need 1,000 more like her.
Apologies to M*A*S*H:
"Does anyone else have a question?"
"Yeah, I have a question – why don't you answer her question?"
And:
"This is a press conference, and the last thing I want to do is answer a lot of questions!"

Isn't that typical of Glib Gibbs when confronted by any question that any four year old could answer? He can be forgiven though. He's the product of our current educational system where students are dumbed down enough to qualify as a useful idiot.
Fluffy poodle? You mean Al Gore?
