White House has Robert Gibbs no more
Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary for the Obama administration is leaving his position as chief liaison to the press for the president, according to the USA Today. There hasn’t been a reason given yet for Gibbs’ departure, though the Obama administration has seemed to have high rates of turnover. It is anticipated that Gibbs will be leaving sometime in February, likely after the president delivers the State of the Union address. President Obama said that Gibbs would “continue to have my ear as long as I’m in this job.” This means that Gibbs will be an outside adviser and consultant. A successor hasn’t been named, though announcements are expected to be made in time.
A lot of turnover for the Obama White house being seen
The Obama White House has had high rates of turnover. Not long ago, it was speculated that Joe Biden would leave and Hillary Clinton would become vice president, though it was fervently denied. In order to run for mayor of Chicago, former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel left. Gibbs’ leaving was not entirely unexpected, and it has been rumored that he may be groomed to take over as chief adviser to the president, a position David Axelrod currently holds.
It may not be an easy year
Many of the new Congress seats were filled by republicans as they were taken. The House of Representatives now has a Republican majority, but not in the Senate. At some point, there is likely to be a huge fight in the future with the White house and Republicans considering the next few months is expected to be rocky, even though the parties have agreed at some times.
