this robert gibbs quote is getting a lot of traction. he cursed the first lady.he time. according to the book staff members said mr. gubs cursed the first lady. colleagues stared down at the tab table. he misdirected his rage. jonathan, i looked on headlines all day yesterday and it was gibbs cursed out first lady as if they were right there in some bar like atmosphere where this is happening. that angered me because that is not what happened. >> right. anyone who knows robert gibbs would know there's no possible way that that would have happened. i think in earlier report there are no two people on the obama staff and the administration, past or present, who are as close to president obama and michelle obama than robert gibbs and valerie jarrett. the idea that he would do such a thing or say such a thing directly to the first lady is completely unbelievable. >> real quick. this quote about the first lady feeling pressure as the first african-american first lady and people were looking for her to make a misstep because she was a black woman. >> whether that's tru

the quotes from robert gibbs are... they're extremely strong. he accused valerie on the record as being manipulative. he says he didn't take her seriously as an advisor to the president of the united states, that she promotes herself at the expense of others. other colleagues defended valerie. to be fair. but i think the question going into 2012 is, a, what kind of management skills has barack obama shown in the white house? we saw the news a few days ago about his new chief of staff. second of all, is this group still united enough to function effectively in the campaign? >> schieffer: jody, it's a fascinating insight into this wlooit house... white house. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> schieffer: i'll be back in a moment with some final thoughts.

the facts and the book is clear about the fact it's based on interviews -- >> the book features robert gibbs cursing the first lady after jarrett told them mrs. obama was not happy with the way he handled a report suggesting she hated being in the white house. quote, you don't know what the expletive you're talking about gibbs said. jarrett responded the first lady would not believe you're speaking this way. gibbs fired back, expletive her too. the white house doesn't deny that incident but says various antidotes are exaggerated. >> it's a remarkably harmonious place given what's debated here every day. >> rare for a president to change chief of staff at the beginning of a election year but he's been named cochair of the campaign in chicago and there will be a spot for robert gibbs, still a valued member of the team despite cursing the first lady. >> on a snowy north lawn, it's not even snowing in manchester. >> up next, getting veterans back to work. later, catching up with the candidates on the trail, including former senator rick santorum and his new embroidered sweater vest. >> how are y

robert gibbs first cursed out valerie jarrett and from what i read about that, the tension between rahmlerie jarrett was pap pabl. once axlerod left, and succeeded by david plouffe and gentleman jaert is attacking gibbs, the first lady is upset about how handled a question and turns out she's not tense at all. and that kind of thing drives you nuts. >> sean: and we've got too many for the white board. >> you were mentioning florida. bad news in the president. in that 44% of the voters in florida believe he deserves reelection and 52% don't. he's losing to mitt romney, and ahead 46-43, but there's 52% of the people today don't think he ought to be reelected. that means that once this republican contest is finished, whoever the nominee is, has a chance to grow that lead from being three points to being a, you know, an essentially an eight point lead in florida. if you lose florida by eight points, it signals a significant amount of distress around the country. >> sean: karl rove, thanks for being with us. >> appreciate it. thanks for having me, sean. >> sean: next several rights activist

and robert gibbs comes up as a figure here who also had clashes with the first lady. first lady who is very much crafted this image around childhood obesity and military families and someone who is very put off by politics but here in this book she certainly emerges as a figure who is very protective of her husband and keeper of the flame of her husband's legacy and in that way really trying to protect her husband and also really call out some of the aids to make sure they were up to par. >> book touching on privacy invasion that first family experienced. a young family living under secret service security making trips to target turning into a press event. how difficult was this transition for the first lady because it seems like she might have been this reluctant person w to come into this new reality. she's tried to normalize it the best that someone in this circumstance can. >> you had one first lady describe the white house as the most expensive penitentiary because it's this fortress. it's very much a bubble. you have seen not only michelle obama but also barack
