Anita Dunn

Married to President Obama's personal attorney, Robert Bauer, a partner at Perkins Coie who has been the general counsel of Obama for America since January, 2007. They reside in Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 2008, Newsweek named Dunn and Bauer the new "power couple" in Washington, D.C.


She is now the White House Communications Director.

So what, you say?

For starters, her number one "philosopher" for advice and leadership is Chinese dictator Mao Zedong, the author of the little "Red Book", a dictator that is reported to have slaughtered millions of his own countrymen who disagreed with his policies.

On June 5, 2009, Dunn delivered a speech to a group of high school students in which she stated "... two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Zedong and Mother Teresa...".

That by itself, should be more than enough to disqualify her for any position in the American government, official or otherwise.

Mao was an avowed enemy of America and our way of life.



Mao's socio-political programs, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, are blamed for causing severe famine and damage to the culture, society and economy of China. Mao's policies and political purges from 1949-1975 are widely believed to have caused the deaths of tens of millions of people. Since Deng Xiaoping assumed power in 1978, many Maoist policies have been abandoned in favour of economic reforms.

Anyone who admires Mao and his tactics - now abandoned by the Chinese themselves - should not be allowed a voice in our government. They are, to put it politely, politically naive.

In response to criticism over her Mao remark, she said "The use of the phrase 'favorite political philosophers' was intended as irony".

You betcha...Just like this post is in reality a demonstration of total support for her and her buddy Mao.

For years, she did not have the power - nor the ability - to do more than speak at places like high school graduations. But now? Now she, and others like her in the Obama White house, are in the drivers seat. They ARE in charge.

But what the heck... They're the new "power couple" in Washington today. D.C.

Gotta be great... For them.

But keep in mind... Dunn, like so many other Obama appointees, has the desired "mindset" that Obama needs for his "fundamental change" he intends to bring to America.
