WASHINGTON – AUGUST 11: In response to the question “Did you put your foot in your mouth?” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs sticks out his tounge to show that his mouth is empty during the daily press briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House August 11, 2010 in Washington, DC. Gibbs criticized what he called the “professional left” for comparing President Barack Obama to former President George Bush and faulting Obama for his willingness to compromise with conservatives.
