WASHINGTON (AP) – Even the White House’s top spokesman is getting in on the act of mocking former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin for looking to talking points written on her palm during a speech to “tea party” activists.
Robert Gibbs showed the words “hope” and “change” on his hand as he started his daily briefing with reporters on Tuesday. [Note: He also included a short 'grocery list' on his hand. - ST]
Many in the room, where President Barack Obama had spoken just moments before about the need for bipartisanship, groaned at the political shot.
CBS has the vid.
The blogprof is short, sweet and to the point:
Note the reaction from the White House Press Corps (corpse?) was not one of laughter but initially one of dismay that such a classless tactic was used by an Obama minion to mock a private citizen, something that used to be far below the office of the president.
Heckuva job, Fibbsie. ![]()

He should have crossed out 'hope' and 'change' instead.

Liberals always have been and still are disingenuous.
We must destroy the Democrats permanently.
Does he not understand a high percentage of the country views “hope and change” as a horrible joke?
The fact that the Obama administration gives media time about Sarah Palin shows that they are scared.
Totally classless.
Hey ! Read this !
GIBBS=P*SSY
Ahem … careful there, Dave
Gibbs is a pathetic clown.
Is that a tattoo on his hand?
I’m surprised Gibbs didn’t write it in stutter. Perhaps he should answer all question by writing on his hand, that way we don’t have to listen to the press sec for the POTUS stammer his way through, as he normally does. Seriously, how does someone get that job who um, er, ah, can’t um, ah, speak, um, in an ah, adult manner?
Just how many lockers was ol’ Bobert Gibbs stuffed into growing up? He’s such a dork.
GWB never responded to attacks against him, regardless where they came from, cuz he thought to do so would be below the office of the President of the United States. This president and his administration go out of their way to attack and mock private citizens.
They are children. Ignorant, spoiled, petulant children.
Dear god above….please grant me this one wish……Gibby in a locked room for five minutes….with Don Rickles. Gibby would be a sobbing, quivering shell of a human being, scared forever.
would someone please petition the white house and ask them to please stop allowing Robert Gibbs to be press Secretary. I just can’t handle him one more afternoon at 3:00 p.m.
What is obvious is that the Administration and the elitists still don’t get it after all that has happened right in front of their eyes. They just exponentially increased Sarah Palin supporters and admirers because she did something… like us. They just made fun of us! Let’s review: they make fun of Scott Brown driving… God Forbid… a truck. How’d that work out? They’re SO out of touch with us riff-raff, dumb, unclean, beer drinking, hard working, everyday taxpayers that it appears they don’t even speak our language. It reminds me of the time a bunch of Americans handed a bunch of anti-American Islamic activists some signs written in English that stated “please bomb us” and “we’re stupid” and the idiots proudly pranced up and down the streets holding them. I hope they never catch on.
like a school on Sunday – NO CLASS.
And I agree with democratsarefascists above
Potens Democratiarum delendus sunt
One more time: Liberals & Progressives are absolutely terrified of Sarah Palin. She is fresh, attractive, smart, and genuine–something they know nothing about! I wonder, had the media asked Obama the same questions they asked Palin–if he could have answered any better. Everyone who believes he is a very smart man because he graduated from Harvard—please stand up!
“Baghdad Bob” Gibbs fibs while his chicken-squat boss has gone more than SIX MONTHS without a press conference! Even the tame little eunuchs in the MSM are starting to get restive, not that they count for anything after two years of dropping their soap in the shower!
Bronte, all a degree from Hawvud will potentially do is make you a part of the extreme arrogancia.
As far as fresh, attractive, smart and genuine, I can’t think of a single jackass that fits any of that bill, let alone a Hollyweird airhead.
And class? This bunch of bozos is stuck in pre-high school locker room humor and pretending, as it is for most clueless clods, that their attacks show a keen sense of wit and rapier-sharp minds.
Again, typical arrogancia.
daveinboca: You Bastard! Why didn’t I think of the Baghdad Bob analogy? That was perfect. Sarah Palin is climbing up the statue of the great leader planting a flag over his face while his spokesman is telling the rest of the world that it’s not happening and laughing.
Barack Obama is a liar. He can be counted upon to do the opposite of anything he says. This was clear from the moment he voted against a bill to save abortion surviving babies in IL. He claimed that he voted against it because it wasn’t Roe neutral. What he never lets on is that his committee removed the language from the bill that would have made it Roe neutral. That episode illustrated the duplicity of Barack Obama and showed me what a utter phony he is.
Au contraire mon ami!
We… must trigger the Progressives into committing political self-destruction. It is far and away more delightful and powerful that way. And, they are sooo darn obliging!

This just confirms my thought that the Obami are immature, inexperienced crooks up on their thrones trying to dictate how we should live our lives. They’re dangerous, very dangerous, and we ought to take them seriously. They do see the American people speaking out against them. They just don’t give a damn and will trample over every one of us. This is just the beginning. HANG ON TO YOUR WALLETS!
Re: people on the left who make fun of Palin, I have been wondering where these people’s parents are. When I was brought up, I was taught not to disparage another’s intellect, looks, or way of speaking, or the like. Maybe liberals are the result of bad parenting.(and not just a mental disorder)
Well as hell freezes over in “Green”land….DC, that is, they want to disparage Sarah Parlin’s tried-and-true method of remembering key points for a speech. I guess they want to forget how they used the same method to cheat on their college exams. How else can they explain Obama graduating from Harvard. Of course, his transcripts are sealed so we can’t be certain what he did in college.
If she used 3 x 5 index cards…would Gibbs have taken a stack into the Press Room? Maybe she should have declared her method as the “green” thing to do since she did not kill any trees or use any electricity which would have increased her carbon footprint????? Yeah, that’s the ticket~
Memo to Robert Gibbs: Don’t quit your day job yet. Its all about the punch line man…..keep watching those old Bob Hope videos…..watch his timing….that’s important.
Sarah has turned Gibbs into a “Palm Reader” only without the credibility…come 11-2-10 they can all read the “Tea leaves” of the election results.
Did anybody check to see if Palin had a nose-ring or any belly-button jewelry ? If you look carefully, I bet they can see the TEC-9 that she has hidden under her skirt. And I bet if the Left looked backstage they might have noticed the M1A1 tank, the A-10 warthog and the Nimitz-class supercarrier she named after “Trig.”
You all think Gibbs is too much to bear? Dig this: the guy looks like my wife’s ex. We can’t stand it. He talks like him and sounds like him, too. And now, with this crap about writing on hands, his humor is just as stupid as the wife’s ex. It’s maddening.
But then, Gibbs is perfect for Obama. Except that he could use a teleprompter himself.
Anyone notice how the list on Gibbs’ hand starts by using printed letters, but ends using script?? I think someone else X’d out bread and added hope and change. Gibbs is obviously not bright enough. – Lorica
