As had been expected, President-elect Barack Obama finally completed his propaganda communications team with the addition of three individuals on Saturday, the biggest name of the trio being Robert Gibbs as White House press secretary; Gibbs worked for Obama’s Senate campaign in 2004 and was communications director while he was in the Senate.

Obama added two others this weekend, as well – Ellen Moran and Dan Pfeiffer; Moran was appointed as director of communications at the White House; her main job responsibility is to pour the Obama Koolaid get Obama’s message out.  She is director of Emily’s List, an organization that backs female candidates  who support women’s abortion rights; she also has worked for the AFL-CIO.  Pfeiffer is communications director of Obama’s presidential transitional team; he also helped manage the press operation during the Obama campaign.  Obama’s obligatory statement on the appointments is below:

“These individuals will fill essential roles, and bring a breadth and depth of experience that can help our administration advance prosperity and security for the American people. This dedicated and impressive group of public servants includes longtime advisors and a talented new addition to our team, and together we will work to serve our country and meet the challenges of this defining moment in history.”

Four words for you, Barack: If you say so.
