Gibbs says Obama hasn't spoken to Mubarak...

[ClusterFreak]

...and that he's not aware if Obama has called Mubarak.

Not aware? One, why aren't you aware of it? And two, how come your answer isn't "Yes he has made an attempt to talk to Mubarak"?

Color me confused.

Unless they're pulling a Bill Clinton..."I did not have words with President Mubarek..."
Right.
