Anita Dunn stepping down

[MsDoodahs]

breaking just now...

She will be leaving at month's end.

Does this have anything to do with Glenn Beck pointing a spotlight in her direction?

[paulitics]

She can't implement her Marxist ideas, by coming out of the closet. Obama needs to be more careful in selecting less frothing at the mouth communists - he should only select stealth communists.

Lesson learned.

[ravedown]

wow- i thought becks case against her was a little weak but whattya know? personally, i figure that if you win the presidency, you can basically appoint whoever you want, thats part of your team and if people have a problem with it- don't re-elect the dude.
these attacks on appointees mid-term is a little concerning, especially in how beck will likely take credit for it

[Cdn_for_liberty]

Van Jones? Gone
Anita Dunn? Gone
Valerie Jarrett is next?

[thasre]

Allegedly her position was only temporary anyway and she was planning on stepping down soon no matter what.

Sounds like a crock of shit to me, but that's the official story.

[catdd]

Another one bites the dust.

[MsDoodahs]

Sounds like a crock of shit to me, but that's the official story.

True to form, then. lol...

[Dieseler]

If I remember right, her husband is taking a White House job. He works for the Seattle law firm that was tasked to run around putting out all of the birth certificate law suit fires.
Keep an ear out for more on that.

You haven't followed national politics to long have you?

[Cowlesy]

Van Jones? Gone
Anita Dunn? Gone
Valerie Jarrett is next?

They aren't gone.

Van Jones will most certainly resurface, and Anita Dunn is still a "White House Consultant"

[RevolutionSD]

People leaving their posts in government is meaningless, because there's always another authoritarian sociopath ready to take their place.

Now if Obama steps down and gives a speech about how he couldn't live with himself, violating the non-aggression principle on a daily basis, I'll retract what I said. :)

[Deborah K]

The affect Obama expected these people to have on the public has backfired. hehe Glenn Beck deserves credit for this as he has been railing on these people for months. Say what you will about him, I see him as the 'gateway drug' for the newly awakened. He makes my job that much easier when swaying people into the freedom movement.

White House Communications Director

A veteran political operative, Dunn, as interim White House Communications Director (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Communications_Director), took the lead in the Obama administration's struggle with the Fox News Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-5) On Sunday, October 11, 2009, she appeared on CNN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN)'s Reliable Sources and was asked to clarify a statement she made to Time Magazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Magazine) regarding Fox News, "it's opinion journalism masquerading as news."[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-6) She responded by saying, "if you were a Fox News viewer in the fall election, what you would have seen would have been that the biggest stories and biggest threats facing America were a guy named Bill Ayers and something called ACORN. The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party."[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-White_House_Escalates-7) Continuing to discuss Fox News, she added, "And it's not ideological. Obviously, there are many commentators who have conservative, liberal, centrist, and everybody understands that. But I think what is fair to say about FOX and certainly the way we view it is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party."[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-reliable_sources-8)

On June 5, 2009, Dunn delivered a speech to students at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School of Potomac, Maryland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potomac,_Maryland), in which she stated that Mao Zedong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong) was one of her "favorite political philosophers".[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-9) Four days after Dunn had appeared on CNN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN)'s Reliable Sources (i.e., October 15, 2009), Fox News Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel) host Glenn Beck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck) aired a clip on his show of that speech[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-10)[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-MM-11) criticizing her for that statement. In response to the criticism, Dunn said "The use of the phrase 'favorite political philosophers' was intended as irony..."[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-12). She also stated that "the Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater)."[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-13)
It was reported on November 10, 2009, that Dunn will step down by the end of November and be replaced by her deputy Dan Pfeiffer.[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Dunn#cite_note-14)

So, admittedly Mao tse tung is one of her favorite philosophers whom she "often turn[s] to" (I watched that clip), and we're supposed to believe it was tongue-in-cheek. uh...yeah..right...

[Carole]

Beck told us she would be leaving shortly and her hubby has that new job with O's administration. I forget what he will be doing. :eek:

Glenn Beck has not lead to 1 more iota of freedom, and unfortunately leads people astray with his pro-war and anti-freedom message.

The video clearly shows her tongue was not only not in her cheek, it was rarely in her mouth. Most of the time it was flopping around outside of her mouth like some lizard.

Yeah, she obviously had a bad case of cotton mouth.

[HOLLYWOOD]

The Damn Executive Branch has these Delusional people... NeoCONS are one thing, but these Bad Acid Trip Liberals and their ideologies are Way Out there.

Never have I seen so many Democrats Talk so much faster than they think. Obviously uncapabile of Critical Thinking.
