gibbs_denmark Tensions ran high outside Barack Obama’s second meeting Friday with Chinese Premier Wen Jiaba during the Copenhagen Climate Conference when the American media was denied entrance to the staging area. The respective press corps from China and the U.S. started getting physical with one another until White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stepped in and threatened to cancel the meeting “unless my guys get in.”

A staunch (and some say smarmy) defender of the Obama administration, Gibbs has few fans on the right side of the aisle. But this clip acquits him quite well, as a defender of free speech and the American way. One can’t help but wonder how this clip will affect the Gibbs image with his political foes.

Colby?

There should be a clear warning when you post anything with Rick Sanchez involved. He is a joke. He is a cartoon anchor.

Jeffrey Smuzinick would appreciate it…well…if Rick Sanchez hadn’t killed him…

I would appreciate it as well. Thanks!

Puter Boi? This post isn’t really about Rick Sanchez now is it. And using the tragic death to make a snarky point is remarkably crass, don’t you think?

No, Colby….no I do not…I was in Miami when Sanchez ran over Jeff. He never visited the hospital nor the nursing home where Jeff eventually died. He never offered any support of any kind.

So no…I don’t think it is crass. When you post a video of Sanchez, of course he becomes a part of the story, especially on a web site devoted to the media.

What is “unless my guys get in” in Chinese? Otherwise, he sounded like a barking dog like all Americans do.

Puter Boi – Perhaps not crass, but you’ve clearly shown yourself to be an asshole. Congrats!

Coming from you that is a badge of honor that I shall wear proudly…..for 10….maybe 15 minutes. Next thing you know, I might win the Nobel Peace Prize….one can hope.

This is one of those visceral, “Freudian slips”, that shows he is…human.

But as we all know, the Reality IS, some people are MORE “human” than others.

Believe me, his heart is into obscuring, and prevaracating, and shilling for TEAM OBAMA.
