Dubious Claim of the Day

From today's White House press briefing:

Q:  President Obama, last month in Pittsburgh, said of the Afghan elections and the aftermath, "What's most important is that there's a sense of legitimacy in Afghanistan among the Afghan people for their government."  Is there a sense of legitimacy in Afghanistan among the Afghan people for the Karzai government?

MR. GIBBS:  Well, I have no reason to believe there is not.
