Jay Carney v. Robert Gibbs. Thoughts?

I am astounded there is no criticism about him. Gibbs got bucket-loads. Was/is it the time, the term, what?

No, it's because he's really good. I did like Gibbs also.

He got better with time though, I'll give him that. Now when I see him on the tube I don't even notice if he's doing it or not.

I still like Carney better though. He just seems more earnest to me.

comfortable in front of the camera - and is better at public speaking, imo. Gibbs had good information, but it was painful listening to him put it together.
