Gibbs threatens to pull Obama after press dispute | The Upshot Yahoo! News

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is known for sparring with White House reporters, making for what often seems like an antagonistic mood in the briefing room.

But during President Obama's trip to India, Gibbs assumed the role of press advocate and threatened to pull Obama out of bilateral talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmoham Singh because three U.S. reporters were blocked from covering the meeting.

Thursday's Daily Brief

2010-11-04       The Daily Brief     Michael Roth: We Need to Create Trust AP Michael Roth: One of the striking things that this week's elections forcefully represents is the dramatic erosion of trust in President Obama. Two years ago he hadn't yet earned our confidence, but he did inspire deep trust. Our frustration with his leadership has not just been disappointment with specific policies that haven't worked. The frustration and the anger seem also to come from a feeling of betrayal -- feeling that we trusted the wrong guy. The elections don't really show any movement to "the right guys." They just demonstrate a vacuum of trust -- the triumph of suspicion. This can be fixed. Click here to read more. Bob Cesca: Angry Voters Choose Government Gridlock, Investigations and Shutdown We typically like the idea of two sides locking horns and compromising on the matters of the day. But the era when Republicans would compromise with a Democratic president is long gone. Welcome, everyone, to the suck that never ends. Norman Lear: Enough Already With "The American People" Our experiment in democracy depends, the founders told us at the beginning, on an informed citizenry. Fat chance, American people! Maggie Kozel, M.D.: Veterans Health Care: Why It's the Wrong Time to Privatize Before we take the VA health system away from veterans, we should look at the facts. Peggy Drexler: Women in Congress -- Don't Sweat the Numbers Have we gone from the year of the woman in 1992, to the year of the woman II in 2008, to the year of so-what in 2010? Even as women in politics is becoming no more newsworthy than women in business, the arrival of a new crop of generally young, seemingly bright and overwhelmingly Republican women does raise a question. Are we seeing a shift in women as a reliably progressive bloc on social issues? Tony Schwartz: Fueling Positive Emotions in a World Gone Mad If there is anything this nasty, fear-driven, political season has demonstrated, it's that no politician -- Democrat, Republican, or otherwise -- has any compelling solutions to what ails us.
