The best surrogates to pummel the MSM with the facts are David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, and Bill Burton.
On Meet the Press today…….
In Two Sentences Team Obama Shatters The Myth Of Rick Perry’s Texas Miracle
Gibbs shredded the myth of Rick Perry’s Texas Miracle in two sentences. Rick Perry’s miracle would have never been possible without federal money. Perry is going to have a hard time in an election justifying his miracle when the largest employer in the state is the federal government, and he used federal money to balance the state’s budget.

Jake Tapper is so full of BS.. omg the country is FAILING and POTUS is on VACATION!!! What a tool.
ohh I like this via David: People want Congress to ACT not actout.. he nailed it.
So’s Boehner. And McConnell. Why aren’t THEY back at work?
I honestly think this whole b.s. is falling on completely deaf ears and makes clear to the American people how biased the media is.
If Obama had stayed in D.C. we’d have heard that he was a remote and unfeeling father and husband who doesn’t spend any time with his family.
God, I hate these jackasses.
Why are you posting this crap? Seriously. This may was well have been a Faux interview.
Wow, so you have no interest in hearing what David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs had to say? Are you sure you’re on the right blog??
I haven’t watched these yet, but I am excited to hear both Ax and Gibbs! Thank you for posting them Chips!
M, I have watched them, and I feel if any person speaks with clarity, facts, and keep the conversation as sane as possible when it comes to policy of this Administration, David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, are ones that I trust and respect. Especially when you have people on the other side of the table asking stupid and non essential questions of these two gentlemen. Who is hell cares about popularity when your kid needs shoes and you as the parents do not have a job? Now that is the crap that is really crap that should never be asked of Mr. Acelrod or Mr. Gibbs. Give me a break from this mindless questions. Thanks Chips for posting these two interviews. You are the best.
You tell it Chipsticks! LOL!!!!! Thanks so much for posting these! I just love hearing the President’s people SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!!
Yes, thank you for the posting Chips, really thank you 🙂 🙂
um hello- David Axelrod whether he’s interviewed by Fox or whomever is a spokesperson for this campaign that I, for one, want to hear from. And that includes Gibbs… there are few more loyal and knowledgable supporters of President Obama than these two gentlemen.
I did see an Axelrod interview. I didn’t see him getting his talking point out. I saw an interviewer trying to spin as much negative as possible.
If you believe that they would let Moore get his digs in for anything else other than criticising the prez you are in fantasy land. This interview was so skewed negative it’s not even funny. Every question rhetorical. And if you think Maxine said what she did for any other reason than to get airtime on places she would never normally you are also dillusional.
Axelrod did get his talking points out. I can’t believe that fool used a question from Michael Moore and I am very glad Axe ignored Moore, himself and spoke about the middle class itself. Chipsticks does not post “crap” she informs us as to what is going on.
Chipsticks posts this “crap” as you call it, so that when we send emails, tweets, calls, and letters we know what the heck we’re talking about. She posts this “crap” as you call it, so that we have facts at our fingertips when we call out the BS. She posts this “crap” as you call it, so that we can send thank you’s to our guys for going into the GOP run media and correcting the misinformation that’s out there. She posts this “crap” because she, unlike you understands that 2012 is a whole different ballgame and we’re dealing with a whole new set of monsters: PL, GOP, Teabaggers, Firebaggers and others. She posts this “crap” as you call it, because she realizes that ignorance isn’t bliss; it’s a slow political death. She posts this “crap” as you call it, so that we know the levels the media will sink to; to bring down President Obama. She posts this “crap” as you call it, because it’s her blog and she can post whatever she wants.
You know UT, if I ever end in court I want you defending me! 😆
Love ya 😉
Chip…I heard a saying that goes something like this “Keep your friends close…and your enemies closer”
We love you for bringing us unfiltered truth…you have every right to bring us..The Good The Bad and the Real Ugly….lol we can handle it……..We all battle for common grounds. Love u much and thank you dear one:-)
Love you back Kasai – and your wonderful links/videos 😉 Thank you so much.
Don’t mention it Chips….Anyway I can do to help..in bringing the message on your blog.
I am more than honored and grateful to have such place, where I can have a voice 🙂
Chipsticks, you’re welcome Chica. Anyday anytime. 😉
Just a tweek on that last sentence: “It’s her blog and she can post whatever THE HELL she wants.” Better?
yep, I think that is what UT said. lol
*Utah*, there’s nothing else to say, you said It all, and truthfully so. I’ll drink to your comment. Carry on Chips, It’s really YOUR thing 🙂
Preach it sister!
A-effing-men.
Who the hell are you to question what’s posted on this site? Me thinks you missed a turn.
Keep doing what you been doing Chips and TODers.
LOL…@ yardarm…@You missed a turn had me lol…
Yes, we respect this blog and we respect Chipsticks. And this is not the place to come to and vent your ugly and disrespectful questions to Chipsticks. Who put you in charge, please tell. You not only missed a turn, you missed an entire block. We do not live in a trash city in this family. Respect us with reasonable and polite conversations, and we will do the same. But please do not walk into this place and try to insult Chipsticks or any of us. We are here to support what is factual, what is good, what we need to be informed on as far as the real issues, and we move forward. Thank you very much.
Ah HZ, you’re the kindest soul! No worries at all, some times tempers get lost around here! Including my own! Thank you HZ 😉
Chipsticks, you are sincerely most welcome. HZ
You seriously don’t want me to get all angry Irish/Scottish/Native American Sexy Smart Girl on your ass. 👿
Tally, you are my kind of a person.
Tally you are the most amazing woman ever (besides Flotus).
The Obama Administration needs to take a little bit of what the CBC is saying seriously, because between the voter id laws, and the CBC members saying black people likely will sit out next year, eventhough the CBC does not speak for black people as a whole, should be a serious concern of the Administration. President Obama brushed off the CBC complaints in a interview he did either Friday or yesterday, but he shouldn’t have. The last thing he needs to do is get too comfortable. He needs the Latino and African American community votes, and financial support.
Those in these communities that are listening more to the negative than what the President has actually tried to accomplish are people who do not bother to READ and FORM decisions based on FACT. Why aren’t these people asking Congresswoman Waters what is SHE doing to get the bills PASSED in Congress????
The voting ID laws,,,,is a huge concern of mine..some states won’t even allow or recognize Vets ID can you believe that…I really hope that OFA is on top of it…because as you saw in WI….The R/W with Kock’s brother’s help are probably putting in place a trick or scam as we speak.
I remember some time back, that Eric Holder’s department is looking into the voter id irregularities. No hanging chads on this watch.
I have a feeling that OFA might end up doing townhalls around the country to notify especially first time voters the proper identification they need in order to vote. Also, I was unaware about Veterens’s IDs are not deemed an acceptable form of indetification in some states.
Hi Leigh, for some reason your email address is showing up instead of your name (I removed it!) – are you typing your email in to the ‘name’ box by mistake?
To be exact..It was Texas…here’s the link
Perry apparently doesn’t think this man’s official veteran’s ID card is good enough.
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/08/17/297610/perry-vs-veteran-voters/
So the CBC is this election’s PL, cluelessly riling up anger and depressing turnout to ensure a Repub wins the presidential election? I can’t think of anything more destructive or idiotic. It’s infuriating. What a difference it would make if all Dem factions worked together, pushing and promoting, targeting the real culprits, the obstructionist Republicans, instead of trying to destroy the best president in our lifetime and damaging the entire Democratic Party in the process. Boy, this is going to be fun—-a government entirely ruled by Republicans. What is the matter with people? President Obama does not have a magic wand everybody. He cannot wave it over a group of people and instantly erase all their woes. He was exactly right in that the best thing he can do is to do all he can to increase jobs and improve the economy overall and that will start to alleviate and improve the unemployment issue for all. He cannot fracture his attention. He is President of the entire United States, all of us.
Obama did not brush off anyone’s comment. This is what he said: “I will tell you that I think the most important thing I can do for the African-American community is the same thing I can do for the American community, period, and that is get the economy going again and get people hiring again,
And then this: “I think it’s a mistake to start thinking in terms of particular ethnic segments of the United States rather than to think that we are all in this together and we are all going to get out of this together.”
I don’t see how that’s brushing off and the administration is taking the issue seriously. The policies and initiatives that he has introduced shows that. WE ALL benefit from his policies. The bill doesn’t have to be titled “For the People” Or “For My People” or For Blacks Only or any such thing. As long as the bills give the most help to the most disadvantaged – it will help Black people.
CBC can sthd and sthu. What have they done in the last two decades? ? ? ? What? I can’t hear you. http://weeseeyou.com/2011/08/19/the-cbc-on-a-leash/
Black folk will show up for the President in 2012. You can bet.on.that. We know who is fighting for us. We know there are three branches of government. We know that PO and his administration is practically the only thing that is preventing average folks from falling off the edge of the cliff.
The CBC/Waters/West/Smiley and crew do not speak for me. The President isn’t taking any vote for granted. From my perspective, he doesn’t owe us. . . WE owe HIM. As much as he is attacked from the right and the left, as much as he is always left with his a*s exposed to the wind when he is fighting on our behalf on an issue and no one has his back, as much as this man, his wife and even his kids are treated with disrespect . . . I would have given the Kanye shrug and folks would have had to fend for themselves. Thank God he sees it differently and chooses to fight anyway. Leigh – If President Obama does not win the 2012 elections he and his family will be fine. WE ALL (based on the size of our bank account) will be up sh*ts creek with no toilet paper. Don’t get it twisted.
It isn’t about PO being comfortable. President Obama is the hardest working politician of all time. His record speaks for itself and he does it because he cares for the American people. PO is doing what he can with the hand he is dealt for women, children, seniors, middle class, union workers, lower income families, the unemployed, native american families, Hispanic community, etc. What are we doing in our local communities? What is the CBC, Waters (who has never introduced a Jobs Bill in over 20 years) doing?
So it isn’t about PO. WE have the responsibility to elect officials who support his agenda and will help effect the change we want to see. WE have the responsibility to make phone calls to force Congress to do their jobs and tell them to quit fooling around and playing games vs. governing. The CBC has their finger pointed in the wrong direction. PO supports the core goals so they need to get him a bill to sign. We get that. We get it and for those who do not, CBC and others should do the due diligence by researching and educating folks on what this administration has done and is continuing to do that benefits the black community. http://www.democratsforprogress.com/2011/08/18/dear-rep-barbara-lee-chair-of-the-congressional-black-caucus-can-we-talk/
Thank you Nospin. You just covered that very nicely.
Thank you Nospin. Agree with everything you said. Bravo!!!! I rarely heard of The CBC until PBO came to the WH. Where have they been all of these years. Maxine Waters almost seem like she has a personal dislike for our dear President.
Very well said. Thank you.
Leigh, what link do you have for that CBC interview where you said,”President Obama brushed off the CNC complaints? Link please. Thank you so much. Also, those who want to vote will go to the polls and vote. Those who wish to support his campaign financially will support it. That is very simple.
Leigh, I want the people in the CBC to realize that we can have a President Bachmann, Perry, Romney, and I want the people in the CBC to tell me how will the people’s lives in the Black Community be? When you see what these Tea Republicans stand for, what they did with the debt ceiling, what they want to do to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all the other programs which help the poor and middle class. We Black people better get our asses our to vote. And STOP the dam complaining. Our life has always been hard. How the heck do we think this President suppose to solve these problems overnight? I am so piss with Maxine Waters and all the others. If this President had a Congress to work with him he can get something done. Please don’t forget 2010, if we had gotten out to vote, there would be no Speaker Boehner, or Tea Party. It seem to me Waters and the CBC ought to be mad with the Tea Republican Party. This President is this President of the United States, not of the Black Community. If Waters and the CBC causes black voters to sit out the 2012 election, and this President lose, I hope Maxine Waters and her big mouth will be proud of herself. And we shall see how much better the Tea Republicans will do for the Black Community.
FRANKLY…IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT PBO DOES…THE FORCES OF GREED,RACISM AND SEVERAL OTHER UNJUST FACTORS OUT THERE WILL FIND FAULT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS ECONOMY. THESE PEOPLE ARE DETERMINED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT!
Sue, we got this. I know exactly what you mean, but we have this one. And we have the President’s best interest, the people.
CNN..is talking about Casey Anthony car being destroyed…while Libyans are dying for Freedom and making history….go figure
Sad ..Sad Day in the media.
Way to go Lybia 🙂
WOW! UT….you should be a spokesperson on tv for PBO….you are gooooooood….made my day!
This needed to be said and should be repeated by Democrats at every opportunity. The last person we need to be lectured by is Karl Rove considering his history in the Bush administration. Karl Rove was indignant and practically hysterical trying to respond to this bit of truth from Bill Burton. it was basically diarrhea of the mouth and look at that shiny object on steroids. Sorry Karl, your babbling doesn’t change the facts and you know it.
Bill Burton Rips Rove: Americans Aren’t ‘Ready To Hear A Lecture From You On Good Governance’
Former Obama White House spokesman Bill Burton had some sharp words for Karl Rove during their debate on Fox News Sunday. After a long rant from Rove attacking Obama on the economy, Burton shot back: “As someone who was a leader in the White House that turned a record surplus into a deficit, that got us in a war that we never should have been in, and turned the floor of the New York Stock Exchange into a casino — I don’t think the American people are quite ready to hear a lecture from you on good governance.” Watch it:

It’s a good day – we are firing back on all cylinders!
Tell it ggail. Like I said in a previous comment WE are an arm of the White House Communications Department. Dan Pfieffer might as well just add us to his organization chart. We are a force to be reckoned with and our weapon of choice is THE FACTS.
GG,
I wholeheartedly agree! 😉
YES.WE.CAN…DO.(Much)More, Together!
Yes we are, and we will continue to be the arms to hold the truth, the hands to handle the truth with respect, the legs to strengthen the truth, and the feet to carry the truth that is spoken from the Whitehouse Communication Department. Thank you GGail, Ladyhawke and snoopy4eva2.
“The end is near for Colonel Gaddafi” Downing Street #Libya
1 minute ago via web
Freedom at Last!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As i’ve said before, the GOP has no interest in people, or investing in in America’s future. It’s only interested in MONEY, and is not only trashing it’s own house, it’s hell-bent on burning down the entire neighborhood, and surrounding towns, all because of their blinding, personal greed and poisonous hatred for one man.
This is why Gibbs, Axelrod and Burton had to leave the White House – because the Administration needed surrogates getting their messages out in a more combative way to push back against the GOP campaigning and attacks against the President during their primary.
Jared Bernstein is another – great on economic issues, left the White House to give voice to what the Administration was doing because the feeling was there was only two sides getting told – the GOP attack, and the far left attack.
You nailed it StR. I am so glad Gibbs, Axe, and Burton can go on these talking heads shows and get the facts out. And thanks for reminding me about jared Bernstein. I absolutely adore him. He is brilliant. Oh, and another person that I like very much is Austan Goolsbee. He is great. I wonder if he will be available for the shows. I haven’t seen him lately.
Al Arabiya: NTC confirms Mohammed Gaddafi has been captured #Libya #Fe
watching BBC – they are saying no proof that is the case. Says lots of rumors. No confirmation.
Good news Kasai, free at last. Thank you President Obama for hanging tuff and helping the people against a tyrant.
CNN is now reporting about Tripoli. Have it on mute and listening to Aljazeera live on my computer.
Could that Savannah Guthrie be more of a witch? Aggressive questioning. And that question about Romney being weird, was that the best she could do as an example of something bad to say after all the garbage that’s been said about the President? Pathetic.
Thanks for the posts. When all that is said and done, what we need to start discussing is this. Facts mean nothing to the GOP and their followers. We keep thinking that if we just get the facts out there the voters will see the light and vote accordingly. We are dead wrong. We hear Bachman saying that Americans are worried about the uprising of the Soviet Union. We all think-what a moron! Many Americans think-oh, she is right, we don’t want the Soviet Union to uprise! SO, NOW WHAT? We need to figure out how to combat this bat-shit craziness. Facts mean nothing. What do we need to do? I work with OFA and these 20 year olds really don’t get it. What ideas do any of you have? Please share them now, not later!
