ANDREA MITCHELL: But Robert, there is sort of a perception issue here, that this is an attempt to preserve the campaign structure, and have the president be meeting with these people. Seems to be sort of a price paid for that.
ROBERT GIBBS: Well again, I think we'll know everybody who gives money, you'll know their identity, you'll know the amount. The one thing, I look at Republican groups, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars spent against health care, even after its passage, against all the other aspects of the president's agenda. None of those people disclosed their contributors. They take corporate money, they take money from lobbyists. I do think this is a good-faith effort on the part of the president to keep those millions of people engaged and on his side. While also doing it in a way that is above and beyond what the law calls for.
