Robert Gibbs, lead singer in Obama’s Greek Chorus

“The (Greek) chorus offers a variety of background and summary information to help the audience follow the performance. ..” and the performance is indeed the lecture series of our President. In relationship to the President, I look at a difference between a series of lectures as opposed to a lecture series. In the long run, however, it may well be the tomato/tomahto thing.

There are others in the chorus to back-up Mr. Gibbs, doing their own solos or participating in small and large group ensembles but it is Mr. Gibbs who is the lead singer.

A large portion of Mr. Gibb’s job appears to entail interpreting, clarifying and adjusting the thinking caps of the press coup as necessary to what the President or members of his administration have said. In my opinion Mr. Gibbs is doing a hell-of-va job and I find myself looking forward to making visits to his music room, so to speak. I envy Mr. Gibb’s vast knowledge, his demeanor and most of all, I envy his patience. Kudos to Mr. Gibbs. It is a pleasure watching such a gifted man.
As always,

P.S. News outlooks are looking for public support for the arrest of the President of Darfur. I never knew what the conflict was all about much less the President’s name. All I ever hear is a lot of blather and the word “Genocide” and do not ever recall hearing the who, what, when, where and why of the situation. And finally, I had fun last night watching Anderson Cooper asking Robert Bagalia everything except “Boxers or briefs”. (Smile) Mr. Bagalia is a very clever man.
