During the 10AM ET hour of America’s Newsroom on Fox News Channel, fill-in co-host Martha Maccallum told viewers 
what President Obama watched on election night while Democrats suffered big losses in New Jersey and Virginia: “Robert Gibbs said, well, he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went.”
On Tuesday night the White House had worked to downplay the Democratic gubernatorial defeats by claiming the President did not watch the election returns. Apparently Gibbs thought it would look better if the commander in chief was watching a self-indulgent fawning documentary about himself. Interestingly, Obama apparently previewed the HBO special a few days earlier, as Gibbs himself explained to the blog Talking Points Memo: “White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says Obama has already seen ‘By the People’…Gibbs told TPMDC Obama’s review: ‘Thumbs up!’”
On FNC, Maccallum noted: “…we know that Michelle and the girls went to the Miley Cyrus concert last night… So he’s all alone in that big house, right? Nothing to do but sit back and watch – reminisce about the long campaign and watch HBO and the special.” The HBO documentary, ‘By the People,’ debuted on Tuesday, in commemoration of the one year anniversary of Obama’s election.
The troops in Afghanistan wait, Obama fawns over himself. Indeed!

This is entirely made up, you complete waste of brain. Had you not heard they retracted it? Retracted. Because it wasn’t true. It was totally false. You’re just another cog in the disinformation factory, huh?

Gibbs said it, retracted it. Did he lie about it? The White House is dispensing fabrication after fabrication who knows.
In any event, Obama should be working on Afghanistan not watching election returns on TV.
Afterall, “The war of necessity”, “The Good War” should either be fought or the troops should be brought home.
Impeachment proceedings would be the correct path for Obama. Indeed!
And don’t ever come here and name call or be banned for life, if you really have one Shawn.

No, Don, you reported on a lie as though it were the truth. You do it all the time. It’s called “conservatism in 2009.”
