When a cell phone interrupted President Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs during his daily briefing -- dude went into the crowd and snatched it up faster than a high school teacher in study hall!

32. I think what he did was absolutely acceptable. When you go to restaurants, school, movies, and other public places, you should ALWAYS put your phone on vibrate or turn it off. It is incredibly rude to others around you. I don't particularly care for Gibbs, but I would have done the same thing. And he wasn't a even a jerk about it. He was nice and joking around.

33. Why shouldn't he be on his phone? It's not as though Gibbs can give a straight answer. Hell, he uses more "hmms" and "uggghs" than his f'n braindead boss. I'd be on the phone too since his press "conferences" are pointless. Worst Press Sec. EVER!!!

34. It was easier for Gibbs and the press to stage this circus act, than to explain why Obama reversed course on releasing the torture photos and giving bailout money to the useless newspaper industry...

35. I don't care if you are Rep or Dem. Turn your effin phone on vibrate or off.

36. You have to be kidding me! While it is amazing that someone in the press corp could be rude to the messiah's mouthpiece, how childish is it to walk up and take a grown man's phone. Is the white house being run by a bunch of grade school teachers?

37. Typical Prez BO and his Staff of Spending Idiots. So much for "transparency" Gibbs is a joke and embarrassement. He reminds of of Sean Penn trying to put 2 "non-scripted" words together-another babbling idiot of the left wing madness

38. This is really funny. We have people in church that have cell phones ringing. I think it is disrespectful (unless you are a doctor)

39. Now, what do we call people that call other people stupid? He's simply to nice. He should request that all phones be put put on vibrate, and if you just have to answer-get up and leave the room. It's a shame when adults lack simple respect.

40. Gibbs should ban him from ever coming back to a press conference. Why would the guy answer his phone, or have it on during a press conference. -Rude!

41. I agree with Dr. DMgemini63. Great comment!

42. GOOD FOR HIM! Nothing irritates me more than people who abuse cell phones. If you're at a checkout, get off the phone! That's a PERSON you're dealing with and they deserve a little respect for doing that crappy job. (I worked convenience for 2 years. I simply would stop and wait until they were off the phone and hold up the line to make a point.) Freedom of speech one person said....omg....what did we EVER do before cell phones?! It's amazing we've survived as a species!! *shakes her head*

43. People need to learn how to spell before saying anything!!

44. Gibbs handled the incredibly rude behavior of others with great good humor. Bill Plante should be banned and he certainly shouldn't get a front row seat ever again based on that rude behavior.

45. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It's about manners, and the guy on the phone doesn't have any.
