Jay Carney Replaces Robert Gibbs As White House Press Secretary

Robert Gibbs is on his way out as White House Press Secretary. Jay Carney, formerly the Communications Director for Vice-President Biden and a reporter for Time, is on his way in. Gibbs, an Obama insider, will head off to Chicago for the re-election campaign. Carney is the beneficiary and gets the promotion.

This seems good to me. I felt like fresh blood may be needed. The Obama White House, packed with Obama Campaign hands, perhaps had become too insular, and perhaps stale. Some new blood infusions are a positive development. Hopefully the message gets through.
