Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs giver fewer press briefings.

As this administration's actions become more erratic and unhinged, it's becoming tougher for Robert Gibbs to face the press.

At the beginning the questions were on the order of: "Bob, given the godlike aura surrounding the throne of The One, what wonderful thing has the President done today?"

Then the questions became: “Bob, we know that the President is the smartest person in the history of the universe, why do you thing that the American people don’t appreciate him more?”

It’s now: “Since the election, will our wise president focus even more on reducing unemployment?”

The MSM is still not giving the press secretary a daily beating, but there is some hint, a faint whiff of less than slavish adulation, and that has to be rough on Robert Gibbs.

"I think they may just want to lay low with him," says Pulitzer Prize winner and media critic Dorothy Rabinowitz, who is also is a member of the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal.

"Gibbs has been a huge problem for the administration," referring to a series of comments that Gibbs' made recently in various media venues and had to back track. His statements included slamming the what he called the "professional left" and angering Speaker Pelosi with a summer prediction that Democrats were likely to lose the House.

Its funny that Gibbs has fallen out of favor with some in the administration because he admitted the obvious.

I've wanted to see Gibbs go for two years because he is an egotistical fool who is a true believer in The One and holds in disdain mere mortals that he is forced to share air with.

Maybe it's a good time to bring up that classic quote of Moe of the Three Stooges to Larry:

"Quit thinking, you're weakening the nation".

I think that about fits Mr. Gibbs, as well as his boss.
