Robert Gibbs Biography

Robert Gibbs is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 29, 1971 in Auburn, Alabama, United States. Robert Lane Gibbs, an American communication professional, was born March 29, 1971. He is currently the executive vice president of McDonald’s and global chief communications officers. From 2009 to 2011, he was the twenty-fiveth White House Press Secretary.

Gibbs served as Press Secretary to Congressman Bob Etheridge in North Carolina from 1997 through 1998. He was also the spokesperson for Senator Fritz Hollings’ 1998 re-election campaign. After serving as Communications Director for Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Gibbs was elected Press Secretary of John Kerry’s 2004 Presidential Campaign.

The appointment of Gibbs by Obama to the post of Communications Chief was met with mild controversy by some critics in the Democratic National Committee, who cited Gibbs’ role in the aggressive campaign tactics used to block the nomination of Howard Dean in the 2004 race. Obama, however, referred to Gibbs as his “one-person Southern focus group” and welcomed him as part of his close-knit team that included strategist David Axelrod, campaign director David Plouffe, and research director Devorah Adler. In his communications role, Gibbs became known as “the enforcer” because of his aggressive rapid- response methods for countering disinformation tactics from opponents. Gibbs assumed responsibility for “shaping the campaign message, responding to the 24/7 news cycle, schmoozing with the press and fighting back when he disagree[d] with its reporting.” As the chief intermediary between the Obama campaign and the press, Gibbs sought to counter the Republican National Committee’s opposition research tactics against Obama in early 2007.

Gibbs joined Barack Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate campaign as communications director in mid-April 2004 and remained with the senator through the first two years of Obama’s term. Gibbs is credited with guiding Obama through those first years and molding his rise on the national scene. According to The New York Times, Gibbs advised Obama on politics, strategy and messaging, and spent more time with Obama than any other advisor.

In 1991, Gibbs was a student at North Carolina State and became an intern for Glen Browder, the 3rd district congressman of Alabama. Gibbs rose quickly through Browder’s ranks to become Browder’s executive assistant in Washington, D.C. Gibbs returned home to Alabama in 1996 in order to assist Browder in his unsuccessful Senate campaign.

Early in the 2004 presidential campaign, Gibbs was the press secretary of Democratic candidate Senator John Kerry. On November 11, 2003, Gibbs resigned “in reaction to the firing of Jim Jordan, abruptly let go by Kerry Sunday night.” Gibbs was replaced by Stephanie Cutter, a former spokeswoman for Ted Kennedy. After leaving the Kerry campaign, Gibbs became spokesman for a 527 political group formed to stop the 2004 presidential campaign of Howard Dean which launched attack ads against Dean. Gibbs was criticized in February 2007, during the Obama presidential campaign, by some left leaning bloggers.
