Buzzfeed Profiles former Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

You may not have heard much from the once ubiquitous Robert Gibbs over the past year, until his turn on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday and Monday on NBC's "Today Show" and MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Buzzfeed’s Michael Hastings profiles him now, as he returns to the Obama campaign as public spokesman, detailing some of his turbulent time in the White House, what really happened with Facebook, how the speaking gigs have been going and what he’ll do now. It’s worth a read. Full article here. (Buzzfeed)
