Stephanie Cutter to Head Health Care “Messaging” Campaign

In case you hadn’t seen, the Post is reporting this afternoon that Stephanie Cutter – a Democrat political operative with no known health care background – is being “tasked with overseeing the White House’s health care messaging strategy…in advance of the 2010 midterm elections.”

In addition to the concerns about this type of taxpayer-funded propaganda campaign we previously outlined last week, it’s also worth noting that the article points out that Cutter “is expected to return to her consulting firm – the Cutter Media Group – at some point in the not-too-distant future.”  But wasn’t candidate Obama the one who said: “I will make it absolutely clear that working in an Obama Administration is not about serving your former employer, your future employer, or your bank account—it’s about serving your country, and that’s what comes first.”

Taxpayer-funded propaganda campaigns and a “revolving door” for political operatives in the White House – how is that change we can believe in?
