Robert Gibbs: As press secretary, I was told not to acknowledge that the drone program exists
“One of the first things they told me was, you are not even to acknowledge the drone program, you are not even to discuss that it exists,” Gibbs said frankly, explaining why he could never be forthcoming about the issue with White House reporters.
Gibbs added that in his opinion, the Obama administration’s denial of the program “undermines people’s confidence overall in the decisions that their government makes.”

Goebbels orgasmed, again, in his grave.
His ultimate dreams and aspirations are realized by this administration.

Tell us more about what you were told not to talk about.
Cindy Munford on February 24, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Imagine that Gibbs is about 500 times more honest/human than the little Goebbels who took his place.

The charlatans are supposed to be your servants.
Instead they are your tyrants, who live like emperors.
Be the sheeple you deserve to be. Every one of them was voted in.
May all who brung/kept Obama be utterly destroyed by him. YOU deserve NO less.

Wonder what else gibbs was told not to ‘acknowledge’ that bho/team is up to? Here is a dandy one that costs lots of money. I need to add, this has been going on since 1977-now! This seems to be something that it isn’t?

Now, about all of those lies you told as press secretary…

And no doubt Carney was told not to say anything about Benghazi.

Gibbs, Carney: “Well, Obama always lies to the American people, and he tells us to lie to the American people, and we’re perfectly okay with that.”

But who exactly told Gibbs this? He never gives a name.
Del Dolemonte on February 24, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Ewww, certain people will not be pleased with this, Gibbsy.

Wonder what’s chewing on his butt. There’s gotta be an explanation for this.
