Career with Barack Obama

Love applied for an internship on Capitol Hill in 2006. He was interviewed by Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director, for a position in Obama's Senate office.^[2] He was hired with the title "deputy political director".^[4] He became Obama's personal assistant in 2007, during the 2008 presidential campaign.

As Obama's aide, his job was to anticipate any and all of Obama's needs.^[2]^[4]^[11] In reference to the myriad support duties Love performed, President Obama referred to Love as his "iReggie", a play on Apple's iPad (“I have an iReggie, who has my books, my newspapers, my music all in one place.”).^[12] Love and Obama played basketball every day there was a primary during the 2008 presidential election,^[2] and they played regularly in the ensuing years, always on the same side.^[13] Obama has described Love as his "little brother."^[14]

Love authored a memoir, titled Power Forward: My Presidential Education, about his time with Obama.^[15]
