On the heels of reports that the Democratic National Committee is eyeballing Robert Gibbs as the next DNC chairman, the White House Press Secretary fielded a volley of questions on the subject at today’s White House briefing. Accustomed to the wiggle room that Gibbs often builds in to his responses, reporters pressed Gibbs, amid laughter, to nail down his denial. He ably complied, responding that he has had no talks with anyone, anywhere, regarding the DNC chairmanship, and that he’s happy where he is.

While a Gibbs chairmanship would be an unqualified victory for the DNC, the move wouldn’t necessarily be a step up for the press secretary, who is expected to be succeeded by Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton following the midterms. Given his status as a close member of the President’s inner circle, it seems far more likely that Gibbs will move up the ladder within the administration, rather than out of it.

The DNC refused Gibbs’ Twinkie and Mountain Dew demands and the deal was kaput !

Let me see, you have to lie everyday to be the head of the DNC? Yes, Gibbs is qualified.

Eddie, you & Gordon make me laugh. Keep it up.
Why is it that progressives cannot laugh at themselves? Most of them are missing one of life’s greatest joys.

Obama laughs at himself all the time. That’s why he easily shakes off everything Fox says. Like water off a duck’s back.

does obama blogger tommy christopher know ANYTHING about DC politics?

“On the heels of reports that the Democratic National Committee is eyeballing ” Gibbs…

First, a sitting Dem President picks the Party Chair not the party Committee.

“While a Gibbs chairmanship would be an unqualified victory for the DNC”

Says you! Ive known Gibbs since the early ninties when he was a Gephart hack and let me tell you he is not a beloved figure by all insider Dems. Howard dean supporters will never forgive him for the disgusting ad he did in 2004 that destroyed Dean’s campaign which had the Gov’s face morph into Osama bin laden’s just before the Iowa caucus and believe me as a Hillary Clinton supporter – Clintonites will never forgive him for how he used disproved GOP?MSM slanders of the Clintons from day one of Obamas campaign to slander and bring down the clintoons.

the only folks who would possibly think his appointment would be an “unqualified success” would be no little Obots like our author here – whose idea of prdem advocacy begins and ends with what is in Obama’s self interest.

Tommy proves that oncea obot blogger – always a obot blogger…

dailyKos or mediaite – whats the dif?…
