WASHINGTON (February 9, 2010)—White House spokesman Robert Gibbs took a shot Tuesday at former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin for looking to talking points written on her palm during a speech to "tea party" activists.

Gibbs showed the words "hope" and "change" on his hand as he started his daily briefing with reporters Tuesday.

Many in the room, where President Barack Obama had spoken just moments before about the need for bipartisanship, groaned at the political shot.

Palin spoke Saturday in Nashville and photographs and video shows she had "energy," "tax" and "lift American spirits" on her hand.

During one question, she looked down at the palm of her hand for a cue.

In her speech she mocked Mr. Obama's use of Teleprompters.

Nah, she ask for that one, so it's fair for her to criticize but no one can say anything about her. That just ain't gonna fly.

Just think.. Gibbs is the president's spokesman, that represents everything Obama. How low class can the White House get? Who cares what Palin says, does or writes on her hand? The President's administration should be above and classy enough to not play into romper room antics with anyone. Could you even imagine Tony Snow doing such a thing and Bush letting him get by with it? NO. What a bunch of losers we have running our country.
