Facebook is in talks to hire Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s former White House press secretary, for a senior role in helping to manage the company’s communications, people briefed on the negotiations said.

Facebook is seeking out Mr. Gibbs ahead of an initial public offering planned for early 2012, these people said.

The talks are still at an early stage and no formal offer has been made, these people said, adding it remained possible that the discussions could collapse.

First thing I thought about is the word “spy...”

Exactly. Big brother is watching. Plus Facebook is just for kids and old folks with nothing to do.

Yes it’s so obvious that this is paying tribute to the king for politcal favors.

Apple's Steve Jobs is to the president's left. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is to the president's right.

Goldman Sachs involvement is also interesting given how much they seem to be involved with every administration.

Smells like Gibb$ has himself a Rahm-esque deal ...

“1999 Just like that (snaps fingers)——in 1999, Rahm became managing director at their Chicago office. According to Congressional disclosures, Emanuel made $16.2 million in his 2 1/2 year stint as a Wasserstein Perella banker (AND probably paid all his taxes).”

Gibbs getting a job? Oh please, this is another scam in the making. The Ohahas have so much money from years of looting----they are all sitting pretty on piles of US tax dollars, all of it stashed offshore.

NOTE that when Obama put Rahm in as COS---Rahm's first move was to takeover the US Treasury---an unprecedented move. Wall Street operator Rahm Emanuel also put his brother, Dr Zeke, in charge of Medicare/Aid billions and O/Care trillions.

=====================================================

GANGSTER GOVERNMENT SCAMMED TRILLIONS USING THE MADOFF MO Ponzi Madoff created a supersecret labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places overseas that hid thievery, money launderering and tax evasion.

"Professor" Obama surrounded himself with Wall Street shrewdies---like Chief Shrewdie Rahmn Emanuel. Wall Street knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in. Imagine the trillions stashed offshore...... tick tock, tick tock..... ======================================

Novelist Dean Koontz has postulated that at least $70 BILLION has been stolen by the Ohahas.I say must be more than $70B. The Ovomitons looted the Treasury of trillions---under the pretext of "saving" the economy. The Ovomitons went to work, looting and pillaging, as soon as they hit Washington. The phony trillions dollar bailout schemes were perfect vehicles for government fraud, kickbacks, money laundering, and tax evasion.

=================================

Ponzi king Madoff must be in awe of the "audacity" of these govt criminals who took a page out of fraudster Bernie's Playbook. Madoff's Ponzi fraud centered on a super-secret labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places overseas that hid thievery, money laundering, FEC fraud, and tax evasion.

Gibb's going to Facebook would be perfect, for OBAMA.

He could become Barry's own mini-me version of Joseph Göbbels. He could spread Obama propaganda better there than if he worked for the NY Slimes. Facebook has the exact demographics Barry wants and needs to pull off a fast one in 2012.

If you want to front an evil operation with a buffoon for cover, then Gibbs is your man for sure! I’m not surprised Gibbs would be in great demand.
