Remember Anita Dunn? She's hard to forget. Obama's former communications director, she's the one went on the offensive against Fox News and declared herself a proud admirer of Mao Tse-tung. (The president really knows how to pick his staff.) Now comes word that Dunn is headed for Great Britain...to advise Conservative Party leader David Cameron.It's a bizarre move on her part. As Politico pointed out, American political advisors are usually very careful about going to work across the pond. In contrast, Democrat strategist and Hillary Clinton ally Robert Shrum has been working for Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Instead, Dunn has signed on with Brown's most bitter rival and harsh critic.
Don't get us wrong, we here at ObamaWatchNews have nothing but disdain for the incompetent Gordon Brown. But nevertheless, he is the leader of Britain right now, which is supposed to be America's strongest ally. Allowing Dunn to be a hired gun for the Conservatives is just another example of Obama undermining our relationship with the Brits. Maybe when she's over there, Dunn can search for the bust of Winston Churchill that the president removed from the Oval Office and shipped back.
One final lesson here: Anita Dunn is an unprincipled hack. David Cameron may be to the left of American Republicans, but he's certainly more conservative than Barack Obama (and Mao). Looks like Anita Dunn isn't just a radical. She's also a political mercenary for hire.
