Reporter April Ryan of American Urban Radio got into a heated exchange with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs over questions he didn't care for. It all began when April Ryan brought up whispers around Washington that Rogers had overstepped her role at the event, among other observations Robert Gibbs rolled his eyes at. Growing annoyed by what he felt was Ryan's rudeness, The great Robert Gibbs began telling
Her to "calm down" and "take a deep breath."
He then added: "I do this with my son and that's what happens." Robert Gibbs earns the title jackass and rightfully so. Robert Gibbs compared April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, to a child behaving badly. Funny he seems to be the one with the diaper fetish. That move was typical of the Obama White House - arrogant and condescending and sleazy. All that Ryan did was question Gibbs about Desiree Rogers, the White House social secretary. Last time I checked the White House didn't have the transcript of the press briefing on its website. Do you remember when The Bush website would be updated quickly and thoroughly. Video links of the press briefings were also available on demand. I thought Obama was all about transperacy. The Obama White House website fails in comparison to the one operated by the Bush administration. Gibbs acted like a pompous jerk. Comparing a white house reporter to a out of control child?! Gibbs' son, Ethan, is 6 years old.
Of course he was out to insult her. Gibbs conducted himself in a completely unprofessional manner. Period.
The onus is on him to maintain decorum during the briefings. He failed miserably
Obviously, the other members of the press corps were taken aback by Gibbs'
behavior.
He was completely out of line to compare April Ryan to his 6-year-old son. The smug Gibbs reminded me of Obama and his terribly inappropriate remarks, like when he compared his bowling skills to a Special Olympics athlete. It's Gibbs' job to answer questions posed by the press, not insult reporters.
I think the reaction in the room said it all. It was out of line for Gibbs to say what he did to a grown woman and member of the White House press corps.
The point is Gibbs wasn't doing his job, unless his job is to be arrogant, condescending, a bully, and a thug. But then again that's what he Has been doing since day 1. But don't worry I am sure that he will bring her cupcakes like they did
To Helen Thomas.
