The Washington Post is reporting that White House press secretary Robert Gibbs is planning on stepping down from his position.
Gibbs allegedly told White House staffers this morning of his plans to leave his job. He has worked for President Obama since 2004, back when the president was a U.S. Senator from Illinois, and has been Obama’s chief spokesman since he was sworn into office in January of 2009.
