Ex-Obama aide Pfeiffer to be CNN contributor
Another former Obama administration official is hitting the airwaves to do political commentary.
Ex-senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer is joining CNN as a contributor, network president Jeff Zucker announced Monday.
Pfeiffer joins former Obama aides Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, and David Axelrod -- among others -- as officials-turned-analysts.
Having started with Obama before his 2008 presidential campaign, Pfeiffer left the White House in March as one of the president's longest-serving assistants.
"His role with Obama started in 2007, when Pete Rouse -- who hired Pfeiffer in former Sen. Tom Daschle's office -- recruited him to join Obama's presidential campaign.
"He served in a host of communications roles during the campaign, the transition and then the White House, becoming communications director for much of Obama's first term and then being promoted to senior adviser for the first two years of the second term."
