SURPRISE: Obama just took over Robert Gibbs' White House Briefing.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Surprised everyone. He is talking about the Supreme Court and Souter.

Edit: He made a brief statement and left telling everyone to continue giving Gibbs a hard time.

:rofl:

11. Well, I doubt he can give birth

But other than that, yes, he can do pretty much everything.

8. That's one thing of many I admire.

His seemingly spontaneous pop-ups and off the cuff intelligent remarks are refreshing....not to mention his policies

9. I'm just catching the rerun on C-SPAN. Well done.

12. You might like this one a little better.

It includes Gibbs' joking around after Obama left the room. You can also watch the entire briefing on the CSPAN site.

14. Please excuse me while I gush...

I wuv him. :loveya:

I worked, like many of you, to help get Obama elected and was pleased when it happened, but I'm still overwhelmed with the feeling RELIEF that I never expected whenever anything happens. Just the idea that a brilliant, educated and ethical man is at the helm lightens my load.

Is he perfect? Of course not! Who is? But I think he is truly one of the best this country has to offer, in the best place at the most necessary time.

Okay...I'm done being a Obamaniac!
