Gibbs: An Insider Look at Obama's First Days

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs generally arrives at his spacious but unadorned office in the West Wing (he hasn’t had time to decorate yet) at 6 a.m. and spends the next 90 minutes reading newspapers, news summaries, and staff memos. At 7:30, he joins a meeting with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and other top presidential advisers; at 8:15 he attends a larger senior-staff meeting, including national security officials, and at 8:45, he meets with his press staff. From then on, it’s a whirlwind of activity all day.
