Robert Gibbs is speaking in his native tongue…gibberish…
JENNIFER LOVEN, AP: The $100 million target figure that the president talked about today with the Cabinet, can you explain why so small? I know he talked about — you know, you add up 100 million and 100 million, and eventually, you get somewhere, but it would take an awfully long time to add up hundred million (inaudible) in the deficit. Why not target a bigger number?
GIBBS: (Smiling) Well, I think only in Washington, D.C. is a hundred million dollars…
LOVEN: The deficit’s very large. It’s not a joke.
GIBBS: No, I’m…
LOVEN: The deficit’s giant. $100 million really is only a step.
GIBBS: But no joke.
But folks, you have to realize, its not all Mr. Gibbs’ fault…
The press can’t take anything seriously either…

GIBBS: Once you get much past the third, it’s definitely downhill from there.

GIBBS: Come on, guys. It’s Monday. You guys are a little (inaudible) today? It’s just a joke, all right?
REPORTER IN SECOND ROW: Let the record show the second row has not been mentioned.
GIBBS: Just you wait.
(LAUGHTER)
It’s all just a big joke, huh?
