Obama Not Watching the Results Tonight …Update: Watched HBO Special About Himself Instead
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 11:53 AM
Robert Gibbs told reporters that President Obama is not watching the results tonight.
Politico reported:
Hours after urging reporters not to draw sweeping conclusions from Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told POLITICO President Barack Obama wasn’t even keeping an eye on the results.
“He’s not watching returns,” Gibbs said.
The Obama administration and other top Democrats have consistently tried to play down the import of this week’s contests, which Republicans have sought to portray as a referendum on the Democratic-led government in Washington.
In Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Gibbs dismissed suggestions that the two governor’s races and a special election in upstate New York could be a preview of the 2010 congressional midterms.
“I don’t think, looking at the two gubernatorial races, you can draw with any great insight what’s going to happen a year from now,” he said.
UPDATE: Barack Obama watched an HBO special about himself instead.
What a shock.

Obama to candidates, you are on your own, don’t expect anything from us. Wonder how the cockroaches are going to feel about this kind of support? mpw
Stephen commented:
Yeah–he campaigned heavily for Corzine but isn’t going to bother to watch? I have a feeling he’s glued to his TV drinking about a gallon of coffee, first out of anticipation and now out of anxiety at a complete and total route.
And this not being ‘anything important’? How do you think the WH would have reacted had the Dems had a triple victory? Let’s just say they’d use it for campaigning.
But now with the truth out–the healthcare bill will stall and sink as the Blue Dogs will be terrified to go in the same room with the drafters of that foot-thick stack of ramblings, while cap-and-trade will also be dead in the water.
It is ‘the turn of the tide.’

If I were thin skinned, I wouldn’t watch either. “I can’t handle the truth!”
crystal commented:
Well, he didn’t know about the Tea Parties either, right?
Thumper commented:
Oh okay. Yeah and abortion funding will not be in the health care bill nor healthcare for illegal aliens. And the stimulus package is creating millions of jobs. And you never heard of these tea parties. And you aren’t aware of the things Jeremiah Wright said from the pulpit.
I understand now that whatever Obamao says is actually just the complete opposite.
non_dhimmie commented:
O we are even….I never watch you either.

take that Mr. Obama…
Obama campaigned in NJ endlessly.
Clinton campaigned in NJ endlessly.
The BLUE STATE has now been stunned, after years of Democratic Partisan policy of taxation and overt insane spending.
And the VOTERS in NJ rejected the DNC completely.
Republicans win big, with a good Candidate with some fine conservative policies, including tax cutting agenda.
They tried to tie him to GW Bush, and he won big.
Take that Nancy Pelosi…

Actually, I might have to agree with Mr. Gibbs on this one. The truth is the 2010 congressional midterms will be worse for the Dems than the 2 governor’s races and special election in upstate New York. Much worse.

“He’s not watching returns,” Gibbs said.
Yeah, right.
I see stupid people. (Losing elections)

Where are all the trolls that told us we were delusional and that we were going to lose big time?
Perhaps they are blubbering in their beers.

The trolls are probably getting their talking points as we post.

Oh, yeah. I believe that. And I also believe that Obamacare does not cover abortions or illegal immigrants… And i just bought this really cool bridge.

jonyjoe101 commented:
not enough dead people voted this time. Why do they put this nonsense out, just like he knows nothing about the teapartys.
They are incompetent if they don’t care about what is going on. He’s definitely not thinking about afghanistan so he has plenty of free time to watch his fellow liberals on tv. I’m sure the whitehouse has cable tv where he can tune to FOX news for the latest election coverage.
More than likely he is hitting the “pipe”. Getting a good hit off that “pipe” will calm the nerves.

As of this statement Robert Gibbs can no longer be believed. I will immediately assume the opposite whenever he speaks.

no, i don’t, but i could spot the lies a mile away..
here’s another “pie” clip..
i also recall a big to-do about Obama having to have pie every night in his palace, ergo, fancy pastry chef’s.. because the only thing Michelle knows about pies is how she wants US to slice them..

As hailarious as Fibbs propaganda proclamation that the election results were insignificant and the Communist News Network’s fable that the Narcissist-in-Chief is not following election reports will be the steaming stinking road apples that the marxiststream media will dropping on the airwaves tomorrow morning. Chrissy honey will have a tingling liquid running down his leg!

Prior to the double loss Reid told Obama that he doesn’t have the votes for Healthcare and won’t be able to call for a vote until early next year. Obama has shown that he cannot protect the Dems and they don’t appear to be eager to climb out on a limb for him.

I am so angry I will have to cut 57% funding for the troops. They are using up my tax money. That’s why my cronies lost. May the troop’s surrender in Afghanistan be quick and final. ACORN and SEIU need more money. Good Night.
saxton commented:
We the People have spoken–Obama is mack daddy-man child-he is so full of BS-he has forgotten our soldiers-lies about everything..I mean everything, Bill Ayers, Federal Reserve, SEIU, Single Payer..he is selling America to rebuild AFRICA, (in December he is signing over our SOVERIGNITY to Copenhagen..why does he hate America? Under the guise of CAP&TAX..He never suffered, the best education, a great life and America provided it to him! Why doesn’t he spread his wealth? Refuses to sign up for his own policies..And he stalls on more Soldiers for the seized attacks in Afragan–what about their young lives???? I pray we VOTE Reverend Wright, Valerie Jarrett, evil CZARS out!! He is starving milk farmers, the lost valley in california-selling our parks, supporting Brazil, closing our coal plants…on&on, !!!

Windel commented:
Obama and Biden campaigned for both the Democratic candidates….and now they are not interested in the results?
That tops the scale on the B.S.-meter.
If the Democrats had won, there would be photos and interviews of him watching the results on TV, congratulating the Dems and saying this is affirmation of the Dem way of leading the country.
Total Fail Obama and Co.

He’s not watching because he’s on the roof fiddling and watching the pretty fire.

I don’t care what they say, Gibbs Lies. I also don’t care if Obama was watching a rerun of the Simpsons with his daughters, he was being briefed all evening long and freaking out with each report. Or else he is the dimmest witted president we’ve ever seen. OF COURSE it was an important election, or he wouldn’t have flown into NJ so many times, and he wouldn’t have pretended NOT to watch the returns.
