Facebook looks to hire former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs
Facebook is looking to hire President Obama's former White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, as communications director ahead of an initial public offering scheduled for early 2012.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, one of President Barack Obama's top advisers, is resigning to become an outside political adviser for Obama's re-election campaign as part of a major staff shake-up Gibbs, 39, a fierce loyalist and defender of the president during near-daily White House news briefings, will leave in early February, aides said.
