This role used to be played by Linda Douglass, who has been an unequivocal disaster as a spinmeister for the Obama Administration. The fact that Anita Dunn is actually doing no better (perhaps worse) than Douglass, might provide fuel to the argument that the problem is not with people like Douglass or Dunn but with the president whose case they're tasked with making.
There is a whiney tone to Anita Dunn, for sure but perhaps she wouldn't be needed if Obama would actually respond to the very legitimate questions posed by talk radio, conservative blogs, and people like Glenn Beck instead of ignoring them.
I find it interesting that CNN has been airing panels and interviews in which it serves as the neutral bystander when the Fox News Channel is the topic. I guess if you're not going to carry programming that challenges the president, the next best thing is to talk about the network that does.
