...who thinks he's in charge. He seems to have forgotten that he's there to manage the flow of press information released by his boss, the President, not to bully the President's hosts into granting more access to US reporters than they were planning to.
BTW, I'd like to see the set of orders signed by the President that gives Gibbs the "authority" to claim he can cancel his boss' appearance if he doesn't get what he wants. Gibbs pulled that one out of his Blackstone Ranger ass.
Gibbs' lack of talent is showing up here: if he actually KNEW what he was doing, he would have arranged for pool-reporting so as to meet the Indian requirements, and if he knew what he was doing POLITICALLY, he could have arranged that pool so that it represented his boss' political views exclusively.
Nope, pure Chicago street-gang tactics at work here, nothing to see, move along please.
This is pure AWESOME and for one reason: Indians generally hold Obama in awe, and this will show them exactly what he and his crew are actually like.
