Bill Burton, Barack Obama's national press secretary during the presidential campaign, will serve as a deputy press secretary in the Obama White House, multiple Democratic sources tell the Huffington Post.
An amiable presence on the trail and an effective conduit for Obama's message on television, Burton will hold a post under incoming White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, sources say. His hiring reflects the president-elect's continued trust in the communications team that helped propel him to the presidency.

Most of Burton's experience prior to joining the Obama team came from Congress. He served as communications director at the DCCC in the 2006 election cycle and was press secretary to Sen. Tom Harkin from 2001 through 2003. Prior to then he worked for former Rep. Bill Luther.
I have to say that I was wondering why there hadn't been an annoucement about Bill Burton's future in an Obama administration. He was the one person who consistently went into the belly of the beast, namely Faux Nooz, and took no prisoners. Not only that, he made it look easy. Now to be sure, being a press secretary doesn't lend itself to the same kind of verbal warfare. Still he was such a good soldier I thought it would be a travesty if he didn't get a chance to enjoy some of the spoils. Just to take you back down memory lane, I present the ultimate PWNAGE of Faux News this election cycle.
Enjoy
