So when is the media going to critically cover the Obama administration and not have play dates with them?

Now that's a funny story to end the day with. Robert Gibbs is truly a joy to watch and listen to after all those lying buffoons from Clueless George. That's pretty funny that he went into the dunk tank. How funny that Mike from fox and freaks couldn't hit the target, just shows what kind of girly men they have at fox and freaks. Best of all is that luau afterwards hosted by the best hosting couple in the world - the Obamas!

"GWB was very much a liberal... cramming morality down peoples throat... it's government dictating lifestyle... So yeah he cut taxes and then went on a spending spree (Ronny Raygunz started that nonsense Jon) that's not being a republican or conservative that's being an idiot. I won't dispute George Bush jr. was stupid, but if we're talking policy he was more liberal than conservative...He was a liberal with an eternal streak of stupid."
Jonathan Siglow

Hey Jonathan - You and Clueless George do have one thing in common - you both have an eternal streak of stupid. Nice try to avoid being responsible for bringing that clueless liar to the White House but Clueless George has been and will always be a repugnant one conservative. Maybe you missed his dating one of Nixon's daughters back in the 70's right before he went AWOL to work on his political career. Maybe you missed his worthless President Dad stopping the SEC investigation into how he bankrupted his own oil company by stealing from it. Sorry but Clueless George is your piece of trash and you must take responsibility for your mistake by confessing to the truth that your party has wrecked our economy and international reputation. As they say confession is good for the soul, so fess up or face eternal damnation!

In Robert Gibbs We Trust!

They wouldn't want to put a Republican on the dunk tank seat because they are already all wet.

Seriously, it is good to see they are taking a break from all the work and hassle in DC. I hope they enjoy it and get back to work tomorrow and work all the harder to get the Presidents's agenda through Congress.

Be glad it isn't the party of no hosting that thing. Instead of a dunk tank they would waterboard. Be water boarded for charity. The Republicans would go broke trying to prove it harmless.

Cool that the President, First Lady and his team have an open style. The WH has never been this friendly a place in my memory.

Kudos for Gibbs and Emanuel for being good sports!

I hope members of both parties attended. I know this sounds like a waste of taxpayer money but I really think that these two sides need to get together in a less formal setting and get to know each other. Then maybe we can start getting good legislation that everyone can agree on.

I love these guys! I am glad they are trying to find some lighter moments in their day as they work so hard to make our lives better. Although smiling is hard to do today because of other news items, I always enjoy seeing the administration's amazing ability to balance a tough tough job with a little fun and humor. Rahm and "Gibby" - all you guys - I love you! Keep up the good work! You will always be in my thoughts and prayers!

Ah, the traditional Konikulahana dunk tank--a staple of every luau.

Also, FR realizes what kinds of proposals it will receive for who goes in the dunk tank and with what the dunk tank might be filled and the like.

And then there's the lei jokes...

After so many years of dull and boring, it is nice to see a more open and fun-loving White House. Bi-partisanship begins with socializing. What a good sport Robert Gibbs is, refreshing personality and pleasant change from the side-stepping Dana Perino which was not her fault, how do you defend her bosses. These people make huge personal sacrifices to serve any president, democrat or republican, they deserve some fun and family time. No doubt the whiners will be complaining about a luau forgetting that Bush hosted bar-b-ques frequently on his ranch.

And how much of this did we pay for? If this could be taken out of the president's salaries, that would be great as well as members of the press paying $5 just to get in for this party. Was there any business that done during this event? This is from someone who likes some of what the president is doing.

Am I the only one who thinks Robert Gibbs must have a bunch of tatoos? Why else would a man go to a luau in a long sleeve DARK shirt in the middle of HOT summer?

Come on Chuck, as him the tough question about who designs his art?

Inquiring minds and all. PS. Chuck, did you get a shot at him? How'd you fair?
