Chris Matthews Notices 'BS' from Robert Gibbs



The obfuscation displayed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Tuesday, in refusing to address factual contradictions in the Joe Sestak job offer storyline, is so obvious that even MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday night showcased a round between Gibbs and Fred Lucas of CNSNews.com’s who dared to point out a Congressman cannot serve in the un-paid board position reportedly offered to Sestak if he refrained from running against Senator Arlen Specter.

Matthews declared of Gibbs, who wouldn't go beyond repeated “I'd refer to the memo” deflections: “That is a big case of bluffing and BS.”  On Wednesday's Hardball, Matthews played a clip of Lucas, from the MRC's CNSNews.com site, trying to get Gibbs to name the advisory board to which Sestak was supposedly promised an appointment. Lucas pointed out that a Member of Congress cannot serve on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.

CNSNEWS.COM: Okay, and just one more -- sorry. But the [Presidential] Intelligence Advisory Board, which most reports said this offer was for, that would be a position a member of the House could not serve on. Is that-

MR. GIBBS: That’s how I understand the way the PIAB is written.

CNSNEWS.COM: But the memo, it said that this would be a position to serve in the House and serve on a presidential advisory board.

MR. GIBBS: Correct.

CNSNEWS.COM : Well, how could he sit on the board?

FOX NEWS REPORTER MAJOR GARRETT: Yes, how would that work?

MR. GIBBS: He couldn’t.

NYT BAKER: So why was your offer-

CNSNEWS.COM: So that wasn’t the offer, then?

MR. GIBBS: I’d refer you to-

CNSNEWS.COM: What position, what board, was it then? Do you know?

MR. GIBBS: I’d refer you to the memo.

CNSNEWS.COM: But the memo didn’t specify.

MR. GIBBS: Right.

Gibbs Won't Say What Job Sestak Was Offered.  What is the corrupt Barack Hussein Obama and his administration hiding?  Obama again and again since taking office has either bought or threatened people and companies in his moves to make America a socialist country.

Election 2010 is important America.  This election can decide whether we have a free America and the American dream or become a 3^rd world socialist country.
