Robert Gibbs Stepping Down, To Become Outside Advisor To President On Re-Election Campaign

The biggest spin master in the Obama administration, Press secretary Robert Gibbs, who obstinately had refused to answer Zero Hedge questions about the economic "recovery" in his daily tweeter sessions, has joined pretty much everybody else in dumping the titanic that is the Obama administration. There is one thing we can be sure of, however, Tim Geithner, the only man who is officially on economic retainer (yet gets about 1% the use of Goldman's Jan Hatzius when it comes to monetary and fiscal policy) will be forever by Obama's side.

From Marketwatch:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs will leave the Obama administration and become an outside political adviser to President Barack Obama and his re-election campaign, the New York Times reported Wednesday. Gibbs said he intends to leave in early February, the newspaper reported. The White House confirmed the story.

Good riddance. And don’t let the door etc, etc, etc.

[Col Frank Slade]

Good riddance to this jackass.

[Braak]

Aw, Eddie Haskel’s leaving? Good riddance, I think the rats are leaving the sinking ship in droves.

[SumProVita]

So....who will replace him? Anyone know?

[DeaconRed]

1 down many more to GO. . . .

January 2011, and Obama’s already got his re-election campaign going. We’ve got to get rid of this leftist Administration in the next election.

This man has some serious soul searching to do. I could not stand to have his job having to lie and deliver such drivel he has done for Obama. he must hate himself for what he has done.

And the WH “press corp” helpfully , dutifully and enthusiastically relayed this pustule’s lies as the gospel without the snotty challenges that they normally give to a Republican WH spokesman.

[Joe Boucher]

In doing so Gibbs can charge obammy and his re-election buddies many times his current salary.
This Baghdad Bob wanna be is going to get rich.

“So....who will replace him? Anyone know?”

Chrissy Matthews leg is tingling so bad he’s probably wet himself.

And if his In-law that was arrested for drug offense ruins the Vetting process for him, it’s gonna be interesting Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners from here on...

I’m getting the notion Barry isn’t going to have a re-election campaign. At the rate he is losing weight, he is going to dry up, and blow away. The Secret Service will find a robe and flip flops, and Barry will be gone.

Wishful thinking lol

Seriously I had no idea though that he’s losing weight I just can’t stand to listen/see him his voice grates on my nerves so I avoid any program he is on.

To Become Outside Advisor To President On Re-Election Campaign.
They still have Edsel salesmen?.

[NeverForgetBataan]

Hehe.... And the band played on.

[Political Junkie Too]

So....who will replace him? Anyone know?

I'm still holding out for Alan Colmes. I think that Obama trying to do a "Tony Snow" by raiding Fox News again would be interesting. And especially given how Colmes can justify anything that liberals do with a straight face, he would be a hoot as the face of the Obama administration.
