From Wednesday night’s Fox News All-Stars.
On Robert Gibbs’s interview with The Hill in which he criticized the “professional left”:
This is utterly sincere and, I have a sense, utterly correct. This is not political strategy because why would you alienate your base before the midterm elections — which are always base elections?
He is sincere because he is right about his left. This president has delivered more for liberalism in a year and a half than any president in 50 years. He’s given them national health care. He’s given them heavy regulation on finance. He gave them $1 trillion to spend on every wish list that liberals have had for the last 20 years.
He has given them two appointments for the Supreme Court, each of which will yield a quarter-century of liberal opinions. He bailed out unions in the auto takeover. He bailed out the teachers’ unions just this week by supporting state and local governments. He has given them everything he could possibly do — and they’re whining about him? It’s unbelievable.
If I were Gibbs I’d say it in private, but I don’t think it’s in any way [a political] strategy. This is exactly what he thinks.
