Yesterday's The Hill featured an article on Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and his battles with Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli, and Jim Cramer. Mr. Gibbs describes the battles as 'fun'. The economy is melting down, and he is having 'fun' attacking individual citizens!!!! He says in the article that these attacks on individuals actually have the purpose of further explaining President Obama's fiscal policies, but I really think the kindergartners are running the show here. I'm really sorry that instead of using the Press Secretary to build bridges, the Obama Administration is using him to attack individuals. This is oddly reminiscant of the kind of thing that went on during the Nixon Administration. This neither brings people together nor solves problems. The challenges we face are serious, we don't need people playing ego games and power trips instead of facing our economic problems.
