No way you can lay this at the feet of gibbs.
Agreed, gibbs is lame. But you have to assume that the issue was left to gibbs to extemporaneously speak to in order to blame him for blowing this. And if the issue was never discussed by the President, his senior advisers, and gibbs, then it is a gaff that you have to drape on Obama's shoulder. You can't leave a matter as serious as this one was made to be by everyone in the media up to the press guy to make up the President's reaction by the seat of his pants.
And his shoulders are crowded with these sorts of mess-ups.
I have to believe this WAS discussed by the big shots in the Administration. And as usual (at least it sure seems like it's the norm), the feeble approach to dealing with a problem was selected. And instead of stepping up to endorse a Sherrod defamation of character suit against breitbart and revoking all press privileges for faux news for suborning defamation, we get, "we feel bad about this."
If someone's head needed to go on a pike, then Vilsack should have been fired for believing reports from faux news. THAT would have made the point clear.
So whether the President delegated or tried to honcho the matter, he blew it.
