Robert Gibbs Laughs About Huge Deficit
Is everyone in this administration punch drunk? First we had being giddy enough while discussing terrible economic news during a 60 Minutes interview that the reporter asked if he was punch drunk, then we had Hillary cackling over the pirate situation, and now we have

Partial transcript from Jake Tapper, who got involved in the exchange
JENNIFER LOVEN, AP: The $100 million target figure that the president talked about today with the Cabinet, can you explain why so small? I know he talked about — you know, you add up 100 million and 100 million, and eventually, you get somewhere, but it would take an awfully long time to add up hundred million (inaudible) in the deficit. Why not target a bigger number?
GIBBS: (Smiling) Well, I think only in Washington, D.C. is a hundred million dollars…
LOVEN: The deficit’s very large. It’s not a joke.
GIBBS: No, I’m…
LOVEN: The deficit’s giant. $100 million really is only a step.
GIBBS: But no joke.
LOVEN: You sound like you’re joking about it, but it’s not funny.
GIBBS: I’m not making jokes about it. I’m being completely sincere that only in Washington, D.C. is $100 million not a lot of money. It is where I’m from. It is where I grew up. And I think it is for hundreds of millions of Americans.
LOVEN: The point is it’s not a very big portion of the deficit.
Later in the transcript, he yucks it up and wonders why everyone is so serious on a Monday. I guess when you have an administration that is this incompetent, the only thing the can do is try to be comedians. Should be interesting how those in the administration react during a terrorist attack sure to (unfortunately) come.
PS: I’m sure that right now, liberals are Googleing furiously, searching for some similiar incident during the Bush administration’s time. MoveOn or some other Soros funded organization will put out the talking points email, and you’ll see it show up on sites the same way.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that this man Gibbs smirked, chuckled, and made jokes while watching the beheading video of Daniel Pearl…
The giggle from Gibbs and Hillary and I think the “gallows” humor laugh from the bama are reflex actions which are controlled by the LIMBIC or Primitive Brain. They (we humans) have no control over that section of the brain. It is the section of the brain that controls involuntary actions like swallowing, anger,and even consciousness. It is not the RATIONAL BRAIN where higher level thinking takes place. If it were in the higher section of the brain they (we) could control the give-away grin or laugh.
Also note , look around someone’s mouth to detect a sneaky grin if they are trying to pull a fast one on you/us. They cannot control that reflexive smirk.
Premier Scientist Carl Sagan has a wonderful book for us laymen to explain the Limbic or Primitive Brain to us. Bocca effect may be the title. (look it up with me)
Man oh man, if Jennifer Loven–a pillow-biting moonbat reporter of the first magnitude–is rolling her eyes in disbelief at Obama’s “cuts,” then Gibbs is in deeper kim-chee than he thinks.
What is wrong with these Obama people? Obviously, they believe all this will benefit them.
