Unfortunately for him, the "shoot the messenger" plan of attack doesn't work when on this very next day the latest Quinnipiac poll shows the president's job approval rating at an even lower new low: 46%. (source)

Speaking of polls, another one conducted by Quinnipiac University found that only 26% of Americans believe Mr. Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize he's about to accept.

One can only imagine what Mr. Gibbs' response will be to the polls after that.
