I am led to the conclusion that Robert Gibbs should resign or be fired

[bluestateguy]

I am known here as pretty unapologetic supporter of this president. I still am. As someone who values teamwork in politics, we have made many demands upon the liberals that they compromise on numerous issues from health care to financial reform to the stimulus and many others. With very few exceptions, they have obliged. The liberals in Congress have proven to be some of the MOST pragmatic and compromising people in the political arena today. Again, with very few exceptions, the liberal bloggers and interest groups have also obliged, even when the legislation that emerged fell short of their ideal expectations. The unions and Moveon.org for example, loyally campaigned to push the health care bill across the finish line, even though the public option was killed. Even Howard Dean supported passage of the final bill. They do not deserve to be called "retarded" (Rahm) or have their intelligence insulted by a mediocre press secretary. This type of disrespect for constituents should not be accepted. Teamwork is a two way street, demanding loyalty from the team's leaders and the followers.

To avoid making the matter into a media frenzy, I would have Gibbs exit sometime right in the middle of Labor Day weekend. And Rahm should be canned too.
