The Incandescent Brilliance Of Messiah Press Secretary Robert "Windows" Gibbs

Some things just speak for themselves. After eight years of all those stooopid Bushisms, the magical eloquence emanating from the golden glow enveloping the Messiah White House is a soothing balm on the national psoriasis:


MR. WINDOWS: Let me try this — let me — I'm going to swing a third time and see if I can hit this baseball. I'll try to do it — I know, I had to get to it.

Again, I think economic studies show — and I will endeavor to get you one of these economic studies — is that if you want to get people — through a tax cut — money that they're more likely to save — or I'm sorry — more likely to spend faster is to do so by spreading it out so that their consumer behavior is augmented by the fact that they understand that that money is coming every pay period; versus giving it to them in one lump sum where, attitudinally, they understand that it's not likely to change.

So I think that's the reason why the structure of our tax cut in terms of "Make Work Pay" is done that way. It's tilted toward lower- and middle-income individuals and families who are likely to take that money and spend it and get this economy moving
again.

Yes, sir.

Hey: breathe, buddy, breathe. You can do it!

Yes, sir. The Messiah will be communicating to the press through Stupid Windows Guy until further notice.
