Thread: Breaking News: Anita Dunn, White House Aide Who Attacked Fox

Obama Aide Who Slammed Fox News Resigns

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 12:44 PM

WASHINGTON -- The White House on Tuesday shook up its communications team, with Anita Dunn stepping down and an aide taking over President Barack Obama's vaunted messaging machine.

Dan Pfeiffer will become White House communications director, and Dunn will be an outside adviser to Obama's White House, officials said. They expect the full transition to take place before the end of the year.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel decisions that had not yet been announced.

Dunn, a seasoned political operative, advised Obama's presidential bid and helped shape its outreach efforts to female voters. She initially refused to move to the White House, saying she wanted to spend time with her family. But when the White House's first communications director, Ellen Moran, stepped down to take a job at the Commerce Department, Dunn came aboard on an interim basis.

Since moving to the West Wing, she has been a fierce defender for the administration, a top target of conservative commentators and led a fight with Fox News.

"The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," Dunn said last month. "And it is not ideological. . . what I think is fair to say about Fox, and the way we view it, is that it is more of a wing of the Republican Party."

Pfeiffer is similarly aggressive in his defense of Obama, a position he occupied during the campaign. He rose from traveling press secretary to the communications director for the campaign and later transition. A loyal Democratic communications operative, Pfeiffer previously worked for Vice President Al Gore, former Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.

Obama and other administration officials initially considered Pfeiffer for the top communications job but instead brought Moran and Dunn into a communications and press operation that is otherwise heavy on males.

The personnel changes were first reported on The Washington Post's Web site.

Scapegoats! Yea, the machine is striking out at the pawns because Obama's approval rating is going down in flames.

They will never admit it's the unpopular and outrageous policies they are implementing and the bills they are passing.

They all need to be arrested for going against the Constitution and Oath of Office they all swore to uphold.

After that is done, we can then go after the last few administrations and
cabinet members that are still around all the way down to the janitors. They are all in this together they all belong in jail. Liars and crooks the whole pack of them..
