Milquetoast Crumbles, Pelosi Fires Back: Gibbs Claims Premature Dem Defeat in Congress

Robert Gibbs, Whitehouse spokesperson, admitted Tuesday he believes the Democrats have lost the majority in Congress. A seething Nancy Pelosi fired back upon learning of Gibbs' remarks, which were uttered long before the results from the polls were tallied after the Congressional election for the year 2010. What is very surprising about all this to me is the way Robert Gibbs has spent the last two years staunchly defending his personal saviour, the almighty Obama. It is that much harder, then, to believe he is so easily giving in to the inevitable tide of Republicans which will almost surely be surging into the capitol in 2011. Concession has not been one of Robert Gibbs' strong suits, and as such it makes you wonder why this White House is so ready to admit defeat. Should we prepare ourselves for an administration that goes out with as lackluster an exit as to match the fanfare with which it entered?
