Jay Carney, a former journalist for Time magazine and the current communications director for Vice President Joseph Biden, has been named the new White House spokesman.

Carney replaced Robert Gibbs, who is leaving the position following a post-election staff shake-up. Gibbs, who bumped heads with journalists recently regarding gay rights issues, will now serve as an outside adviser for Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.

Carney, 45, will be familiar to some members of the Beltway press corps -- he was previously the Washington bureau chief for Time.
