Anita Dunn

Anita Dunn is a senior advisor to Barack Obama and someone I’d be very scared to cross.

Here’s Anita Dunn on Lieberman:

Let's dispose of Senator Lieberman first, because the fact of the matter is what he said is not true and he knows it is not true, so it's kind of the continued moral degeneration of Joe Lieberman on display for the entire country to watch.*


And Dunn on Mitt Romney’s swipe at Michelle Obama:

Barack Obama has said that families are ‘off-limits’, and we thought that John McCain agreed. But tonight, John McCain’s handpicked attack dog, Mitt Romney, exposed the fake outrage that the Republicans have been peddling all week as the blatant hypocrisy that it is. The McCain team’s disgusting attack on Barack Obama's wife shows they would rather generate false outrage to distract from their own problems than talk about the issues facing the American people. Mitt Romney’s attack on a candidate’s wife is as pathetic as his failed presidential campaign.*

And there there’s this video. The second part of the clip focuses on McCain and Palin.

Do you honestly think a comment Michelle made in a speech while campaigning for her husband should be off-limits? I think it's tired and played out and republicans need to move on but it's hardly the same thing as going after Bristol Palin.

James,

I agree with you. Bristol Palin is off limits. And as far as I know neither Obama nor his campaign have said anything about her. In fact, Obama made a deeply personal comparison to his mother having him when she was 18 and said that families are off-limits.

The only time Bristol has ever been mentioned on this blog, and even that is oblique, is in a video clip that I posted from the Daily Show. On this clip, Jon Stewart brings it up to show O'Reilly's hypocrisy.

Michelle Obama's statement -- I don't really care if they bring it up or not. I'm not a big fan of Romney and I don't really think he should be throwing stones.

Most importantly though, Anita Dunn is featured in the post because I was impressed with her role as a surrogate.
