David Axelrod will be an Assistant to the President (unassuming title but very important) and Robert Gibbs will be Press Secretary. Both performed essentially similar functions during the campaign so it’s not that thrilling. You keep hearing speculation about this cabinet department and that, but I think we should expect a continued filling out of the White House staff to be a major point of emphasis.
