1. I hope Obama is going to have a diverse cabinet

All I keep hearing about are white guys being pegged for positions.

[secondwind]

5. He (Obama) also has to give some paybacks, which is normal.........and Gibbs rocks!

[stray cat]

20. I think he is looking for excellence in whatever form it comes

rather than choosing people solely on the basis of color, creed, sexual orientation, etc.

[Pale Blue Dot]

Is he the one who smacked down Hannity? nt

[babylonsister]

3. Yes. nt

[babylonsister]

2. Sounds good to me; he's unflappable, much like Obama. nt

4. Surprised he didn't ask Dana Perino to stay on

:P :P :P

11. Well, they _are_ going to need a dog walker...

[JaneQPublic]

19. At least Scotty McLellan came over to Obama's side (nt)

6. Good.

I think Gibbs does a great job. Anybody who takes on Hannity the way he did deserves the job. :bounce:

7. Great! He has a good sense of humor , is smart and

will be a great press secretary :-).

8. Good choice, even tempered, and can set those sharks in the media straight when they

distort and lie

10. He'll be excellent. He's smart, quick minded, & can handle questions from anyone

I don't remember him making any mistakes during the campaign. He handled himself really well and has a good personality, too.

[gravity]

12. He will have an easier job the Bush's press sec

That has to be the worst job in the world.

[Robbins]

13. Great

Great choice for the job.One of the best press people on the campagin.Will be nice to have press
briefing when you have someone not so full of shit as those who Bush have had have been.

[Buzz Clik]

14. As with all pres secretaries, he'll be gone in twor or three years.

Next!

15. Very happy with this pick. His smackdown of Hannity was beautiful

and was done with skill and relish.

[riverwalker]

16. Brilliant choice

He looks like a sweet schoolboy, but is as tough as a wolverine, and smart as a fox. He knows their game, can play it, and hand them their asses.

17. Excellent! I really like Gibbs

[bunnies]

18. Spectacular! Love it! :) nt
