Within minutes last week of winning the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele said he looks forward to sparring with President Obama.
"How do you like me now?" Steele asked during his first press availability, seeming to issue a personal challenge to the new Democratic president.
Though Democratic National Committee leader Tim Kaine issued a statement congratulating Steele after his win, a reporter asked WH Press Sec. Robert Gibbs during today's briefing why the WH and the president didn't do the same.
"I'd direct him to somebody over at the DNC," Gibbs said before calling on the next journo.
