Obama Campaign Official Says Anita Dunn's Close Relationship With Firms Lobbying The Administration "Smells"

Obama Campaign Official On Campaign Adviser/Former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn's Relationship With Firms Lobbying The Administration: "It Smells."

"White House and campaign officials privately are voicing chagrin and surprise over the extent of presidential confidante Anita Dunn's extensive consulting work for firms lobbying the administration on policies and regulations at the very time she is a key reelection adviser. 'It smells,' said one Obama campaign official. He asked for anonymity, as did at least three other White House and campaign aides, as well as one close personal friend of the president who responded to disclosures by The New York Times."
