Robert Gibbs Takes Dig At RNC Chairman Michael Steele

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs couldn’t help but to take a dig at Republic National Committee Chairman Michael Steele yesterday.

Steele told Good Morning America that he, and President Obama are judged harder by the public because of their race.

Steele is taking heat after news of the RNC paying for a 2,000 trip to a strip club and a top RNC fundraiser leaving his post.

Said Gibbs:
