Robert Gibbs not in the white House anymore
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. It seems the Obama administration is losing people left and right, although there hasn't been a reason for why Gibbs has left announced yet. In February, the president will give his State of the Union address. After this, many think Gibbs will leave for good. He will be remaining an outside adviser and consultant to the President Obama, who has said that Gibbs would “continue to have my ear as long as I’m in this job.” Soon, there will be a successor named although it hasn't happened yet.
People leaving the Obama White house
There have been high turnover rates for the Obama White House thus far. Not long ago, it was speculated that Joe Biden would leave and Hillary Clinton would become vice president, though it was fervently denied. Former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel departed last year to run for mayor of Chicago. 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.
A tough year is ahead
New Congress members are taking their seats today, and many of those seats are being filled with Republicans. A Republican majority is in the House of Representatives now. The Senate didn't change though. At some times, there have been agreements between both sides of the issue. Unfortunately, the White House and Republicans are bound to butt heads in these next few months especially.
