Actual Transcript <\/strong>of Anita Dunn, Obama’s White House Communications Director, giving a speech to high school students in June 2009:<\/p>\n

A lot of you have great deal of ability. A lot of you work hard. Put them together and that answers the why not question. There is usually not a good reason. And then the 3rd lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers<\/strong>. Mao Tse-tung<\/strong> and Mother Teresa, not often couple with each other, but the two people that I turn to most<\/strong> to basically deliver a simple point which is you\u2019re going to make choices, you\u2019re going to challenge, you\u2019re going to say why not. You\u2019re going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. But here\u2019s the deal, these are your choices, they\u2019re no one else\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In 1947, when Mao Tse-tung was being challenged within his own party, on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side and people said how can you win, how can you do this, how can you do this against all odds against you, and Mao Tse-tung said \u201cYou fight your war and I\u2019ll fight mine.\u201d Think about that for a second, you don\u2019t have to accept the definition of how to do things and you don\u2019t have to follow other people\u2019s choices in the past. Okay. It is about your choices in your path, you fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You figure out what is right for you. You don\u2019t let external definition how good you are internally. You fight your own war. You let them fight their\u2019s. Everybody has their own path.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anita Dunn was speaking at the graduation ceremony for St. Andrews Episcopal School (Potomac, MD) It was held at The Washington National Cathedral. When speaking to a high school graduating class a member of Obama\u2019s inner circle praises Mao, within \u2018Washington National Cathedral\u2019 no less. This is sacrilegious, outrageous, and downright evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
