Robert Gibbs is his role as official spokesperson for the resignation of President Obama to speak more for Obama.
"The best service I can give this president is, for years to come, outside this building," said Gibbs, said Wednesday he will leave in February, becoming employed as press secretary. He will then press the lucrative speaking circuit, and a consultant paid to the Obama campaign for his reelection.
Gibbs's resignation is further evidence that the 2012 presidential campaign has already begun, and Obama, who has not substitutes many former presidents, Gibbs must provide at the front of public debate. Gibbs is expected to be released, especially in an official language of the White House noted that the disregard of party policy by the government salary and decency of the press room podium discussion. for many years Obama can finally dogfighting teeth bared.
Gibbs also makes the shortcomings of the room, he leaves, and reduced the political importance of an official voice podium bound to a virtual approximate age.
Wednesday afternoon, at the time the Republicans took over exuberant home, Gibbs was at his daily press briefing in a blue suit and striped tie charcoal with pastel dotted commas - an appropriate model for He celebrates the long haul. Fielding asked if he could feel overwhelmed, at least without the podium before him, smiling, he came in and jokingly refers to his desk.
Gibbs said his goal leaving the White House not to "be freed up a number of things I could not say to the contrary." But later, when asked if he could begin to wade into the fight against cable television, Gibbs expressed no restraint. "I guess I have a chance to continue to advocate for decisions that are taken or the White House were doing," he said. "And I'm sure I do."
"Robert has a huge hard supporters of the president, but the official position of the podium and the White House has its limitations," said Brad Woodhouse, communications director for the Democratic National Committee. "It is an opportunity to probably heavier in some of his remarks to what the Republicans have. "
It will also be entitled to be paid. "There is a trail of six years he was now mainly used to pay 24 / 7 with relatively modest," Obama said Wednesday in an interview with The New York Times. Gibbs in the treatment of the White House $ 172,200 per year. Last spring, David Axelrod, who also left the preparation of the administration to get the job re-election campaign, said Gibbs, who was then under consideration was moving into the Oval Office as a senior consultant a "long-term employees" and "No mercenary."
Times have changed. Gibbs said Wednesday that if Obama would be the last political candidates that it would never work, there would be no other means of income, including the representation of business - "if it's something that I I decided, and I was pleasantly with which they were customers. "
Gibbs is certainly not the first former press secretary during his time as the face of cash management. In orbit George W. Bush is Dana Perino, a familiar face on cable and Ari Fleischer opened his own consulting company store. Of the universe Clinton, Dee Dee Myers is an editor of Vanity Fair and a regular cable was the voices, while Mike McCurry works for a government relations firm in Washington great.
None of them had so close a relationship with the president that Gibbs was with Obama, or ease of access to high-level information. Asked to assess his performance, "said Gibbs, that unlike most people in Washington that he did not relish talking about him - but then to do so.
Gibbs said he would prefer to censor his knowledge of White House business, rather than unintentionally ignorant to the press or journalists are misleading ("I did not," he said, stroking the wood panel). He said that if he wanted to do some things differently, he thought he had done well overall. (At the time of barbarism and thin-skinned, known Gibbs, offensive talk to reporters and even condescending radio journalists to his young son.)
