** Heads Up: After the President's Address, Gibbs Does Q&A Live on WhiteHouse.gov **

[Clio the Leo]

This is an attempt, no doubt, to draw attention away from the pundits attempting to tell viewers what they just heard the President say. Dont know how affective it will be (in that I dont know how many will watch) but you have to commend them for trying I guess.

(and my apologies if this is a dupe)

To better understand what people want to know, we are offering a way for anyone to vote on questions about the oil spill or submit their own. After the President finishes, Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary, will answer some of the most popular questions.

1. I plan on yelling at him and demanding to know...

"When are we going to get out of Afghanistan!!! How many more of our people have to die!!!!" And when he tries to answer, I'll yell some more.

(and then I'll drift off to sleep)

9. lol, if ONLY the Obama admin would give me a job....

... and I could quit mine and would have been home to post it sooner. (no, contrary to popular belief, they dont pay me anything)

17. Sorry I should have said I received the email at 5:35 pm. Not your post :)

It just seemed such a waste of time to put this email out and then not have any time to post a question???

3. I read Gibbs is going to be on faux watching the speech...

:scared:

http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/in-the-know/36-news/4633-gibbs-will-watch-obamas-address-on-fox-news-

Gibbs will watch Obama's address on Fox News

[Cha]

8. I have a theory..

he's watching to hear what commentary they have so he can have more scope in his online live session afterwards.:shrug:

[Clio the Leo]

10. lol because on THIS issue, Fox will go easier on the President than MSNBC or CNN will lol nt

[xultar]

4. I am gonna get on so I can tell Gibbs that they need to open a barrel of whoop ass on BP.

[lamp_shade]

6. I'm game. Sounds like fun. I like Robert.

[Cha]

7. I give them an A+ for trying..

this is brilliant. When hasn't the President spoken to the country and the mediaheads get on with their own version of what didn't happen?

So glad you made us aware, Clio.

16. Someone should ask Gibbs how the fuck he sleeps at night.

Knowing the part he played in throwing away the 2004 election.

If we were in year 6 of the Dean administration there would be no goddamned BP disaster :grr:
