The dream act. When you only get 27 wasnt that of the latino vote in the last president ial election i dont think you want to go into this one by starting out with a declaration of war against the latino community. Now Mitch Mcconnell in the last day up in hershey, pennsylvania basically from what weve heard told the House Republicans were not going to do that in the senate. Were not going to go there because we dont think thats a smart move for the party. I think they have to deliver on issues that are important to the American People and get off the just anything obamas for is wrong. Get off the basically the chamber of commerce, if you will and you think for the 1 is good and deliver on some things like immigration reform. I would suggest maybe even climate change, tax reform trade issues. Not far left issue, but things where they can come together. Amy weve seen this dynamic play out very prominently inside republican circles since the rise of the tea party. Theyve been trying to h
Its an opportunity to learn about innovation thats happening in the marketplace and how that will impact my job at the fcc. I look at new televisions i think what is that going to do for television standard. When i think about head phones, what is it going to do for raf and things like that. Satellite products and video products, its whats the impact on so many different items we have before us or items that may come before us and i get to learn a number of different products that may come to market at some point that may not involve us today that might involve us in the future so its an opportunity to learn.

But being active, unless you are actually speaking no one will hear what you have to say. In less than 60 seconds, last question. I am a student at the Honors College at miamidade, im aware the press secretary must be a credible source that during a press conference, the question is asked and there is no answer, how does the press secretary answer the question by keeping his credible source . That is an easy question you say i dont know and i will have to do research and get back to you. Any other answer if they are trying to make something up or make up something it is pointless to try to spin the press that way. Ive been asked this question a different way, what you do when you have to lie to the press . I have never in my life lied to the press and it never would. Your credibility is everything and the trust you develop is everything. Sometimes i know the answer. And you cannot tell them. I say that is not sitting i can share with you right now. Just be honest, straightforward and t
I try to know exactly the type of information you are sharing at that time. I did all the economic talk. I was relatively i was old to be a Deputy White House press secretary, and i dont know that i knew at the time the amount of energy it was going to take to do it. I dont know if i would have done it. When i went to the white house from treasury in 2006, i was 40 years old which is really, really old to be a deputy in the white house, certainly in the White House Press office because the hours are insane and the work load is pretty crazy. What time would you go in the morning . Did you come in for senior staff around 7 00 . Well, before i would wake up at 4 00 and dana, especially, when she was the Principal Deputy and then press secretary she and i were on email with each other at 4 30, 4 45 in the morning every day. I would have four a and b sections of newspapers read before i even got to the white house at 5 30 in the morning. I would pull up to starbucks on pennsylvania avenue t
Inside the west wing. Kind of an eyewitness account of what it is really like for the policies being made and the communication messages being shape. Im pleased to have you welcomed this morning i needed done anita dunn. She was with obama campaign. Then she was a Communications Director inside the white house starting in 2009 when president obama took office. Tony i covered at the white house just before his term. He was with the last years of the george w. Bush administrations. Both are still very influential, strategic thinkers working on the outside on issues in policy. They are still terribly engaged in what is going on in washington. I want each of you to start quickly not just telling us what youre jobless, what in your background made you suitable . Anita, start with you. Thank you for being here. I was an intern in the white house. I got bitten by the bug and never looked back in terms of my career. Im a huge believer in programs that bring people to washington and give them a
