Infamous Clinton Campaign Strategist Now Owns Firm Behind Obama Foundation’s Messaging

By  Brent Scher, Nov 20, 2015 Freebeacon

A public relations firm tasked with molding President Barack Obama’s legacy through the Barack Obama Foundation is owned by a man who attacked Obama for his “lack of American roots” and wrote that the-then senator was “not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values.”

SKDKnickerbocker was hired by the Obama Foundation to handle marketing and communications. The firm was purchased last month by a private-equity firm controlled by Mark Penn, who was the chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 campaign.

Penn’s ownership of SKDK is not keeping Obama loyalists away. The most recent person from Obama’s inner-circle to join SKDK is Amy Brundage, who has been with Obama since 2007 and was most recently his deputy communications director.

She will work on the firm’s Obama Foundation account, which is managed by Anita Dunn, the former White House communications director.

Many in the Clinton inner circle of loyalists believe that there would not be an Obama Foundation if it were not for the failed campaign strategy crafted by Penn for Hillary Clinton that led to her 2008 defeat.
