Obama's communications director associated with 2004 bin Laden/Dean ad that criticized Dean's

[candice]

lack of military and foreign policy experience. I wonder if Robert Gibbs has found that his current employer (Obama) exceeds Dean's experience?

"Despite often lofty rhetoric that Obama plans to bring the nation a "new kind of politics," Sen. Barack Obama has surrounded himself with operatives skilled in the old-school art of the political backstab."


Excerpts from the Chicago Tribune:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/obama/chi-obama_0622jun22,1,3650688.story

"Obama's communications director and one of his closest advisers was once employed by a group that ran a television ad shortly before the 2004 Iowa caucuses that used a picture of bin Laden to criticize Dean's foreign policy credentials at a point when Dean was the Democratic front-runner."

"At the time, Robert Gibbs was working with a shadowy group called Americans for Jobs, Health Care & Progressive Values. The so-called 527 political group paid for the ad but refused to disclose in a timely manner who was financing the effort because federal law did not require it to do so."
