The Gibbs shuffle: A lateral move, not a step down

---

Dont rejoice.Hes not quitting.Hes not stepping down.Its a lateral move from inside the Obama bus to an outside escort car. Same duties, different seat.It means well see more of him, not less. It means more proObama spin disseminated through the MSM abettors, not less. And it means less accountability for White House propaganda, spin, and nonsense, not more.Id say DLTDHYOTWO.
