Had just heard this on C-Span.

[Bread and Circus]

1. That guy struck me as sharp as hell w/ his words. I don't know a lot

about him but he seems good with words.

[colonel odis]

2. isn't he the guy who lit into sean hannity the night of the debate in nashville?

[SteppingRazor]

3. That's the one. n/t

[Avalux]

4. I love him - good pick! n/t

[Clio the Leo]

5. Wooohooo!!!!!

And maybe ONE day Hannity will tell us whether or not he's anti-semetic!!! (HAR HAR)

[Cassandra]

7. If Hannity's head explodes...

does that result in a toxic spill?

[ellacott]

9. Funny

:)

[CTyankee]

6. I like Gibbs a lot. He's funny as well as smart and will handle the press very nicely.

12. Watch the "list" of who's in and who's out, at the briefings to change

I'm betting they finally 86 that idiot Les Kinsolving, and some of the other lightweights..

The very fact that Gibbs is a very smart guy, might lead some to send only their best :)

[ellacott]

8. Great Pick

I wonder what positions his other advisors will get.

I also wonder if he'll find a position for his body man, Reggie Love.

[CitizenLeft]

10. he's a natural! Fantastic!

:applause:

[Renew Deal]

11. I like him

Hopefully he'll be able to grow into the job.

[Hutzpa]

13. The right man for the right Job

he is as cool as his boss and quick witted too.

Loved his Hannity take down and put the final

nail on Hannity's coffin.

GOGIBBS!!!

Go get em'

[gmoney]

14. Did he ACCEPT or was he just ASKED?

This Rahm Emanuel thing is just embarrassing... don't politicians normally use the "spend more time with my family" excuse when they RESIGN?

Really Barack, do NOT publicly announce who you're asking until they've privately assured you they'll take the position.

[nyc 4 Biden]

24. I could be wrong, but I think the Rahm pick was leaked.

I don't think Obama announced it.

[gkhouston]

15. Like we didn't see that one coming...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Doityourself]

16. Excellent choice!

[CitizenPatriot]

17. take note you White Wing hackers

(my new name for Right Wing-- it has a ring- I'm giddy with all the good news)

Gibbs won't put up with stupid talking points and he's going to call you out if you don't know what you are talking about. He is also smart, gracious, and PERFECT for our new President!

President Obama.

:-)

[asdjrocky]

18. Good choice, he's a tough one.

[leeann1317]

19. Good pick! He's basically been Obama's Press Secretary for months now ()

[Lex]

20. Neat pic of him here (on the left)

[LibraLiz1973]

21. That is GREAT news

[rockymountaindem]

22. The guy from the Bee Gees?

Now they're gonna want to install a crystal ball in the press room :eyes:

[Fran Kubelik]

23. oh darn

I was hoping for Marla Gibbs.

[W_HAMILTON]

25. I really like that guy.

I don't know how well he will do as press secretary, but he had a great personality, and I loved to watch him. He seems almost "too nice" to be press secretary. But maybe that's a good thing; after the past 8 years, I'm just so used to having an obstructionist, snarky asshole be the press secretary, that I can imagine a decent guy holding the position.
