i want to bring in robert gibbs.obert, we have been talking about the white house's handling of a lot of these problems. the irs problem and justice department problem and a.p. problem and we are going to get into eric holder and what he knew and didn't know about these leak investigations later. but it seems to me that lois lerner is either incompetent, has a terrible memory, or she just doesn't tell the truth. you go back to that friday press conference, there was one bit of misleading information after another piece of misleading information that she had to come back and correct after that. the white house also seemed to be dragged along, revelation by revelation by revelation on a story that their chief of staff and the chief counsel knew about the president's counsel. how does the white house get ahead of these stories moving forward? they haven't done a good job yet, have they? >> well, look. i think this week has certainly been much better obviously than last week, and i think the news that lois lorenerner is

robert gibbs, former white house press secretary. robert, thank you very much for being here. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> so when you were in the white house, and the president set the goal of closing guantanamo within a year after he took office, did the failure of that policy sneak up on you guys? or could you tell early on that it was going to be in trouble? >> well, i do think you had a political situation where different parts of the political spectrum were trying to test what they wanted to convince the american people was an inexperienced president. i do think the politics of it were maybe not as easy as we thought, and i think it got away from what we were trying to do pretty quickly. but i do think you have a president that's hunted down and rid the world of osama bin laden who's in fundamentally a different place now than he was even four years ago. >> do you have faith as the president pushes forward with this again that this time he will be able to hold even his own party? i mean, the thing that was surprising the

and robert gibbs even described it and said it was not a strong response. he's been in that spot many times, having to deflect these questions and answer others. he saw this even as not being a strong response from the white house. even though these are ongoing investigations. we do have the irs even apologizing on friday. so there are facts to work here. >> exactly. the irs has apologized already which would imply that they know there's wrongdoing. with respect to the a.p. phone records on, several occasions, reporters in the briefing room reminded jay that under this administration, there had been more leak investigations than any administration prior combined. those are not about the current investigation. they have nothing to do with the current investigation. they're about a message being sent by the administration with regard to the ability of the press to do investigative journalism. what jay did was hide behind the curtain of investigation to not answer those questions. he said the president respects the press. that he supports the measures to ensur
