Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te Paenga-whāwhā 2008, i panuitia ko Dunn, nāna i uru atu ki te pakanga a Obama i te Hui-tanguru, hei kaiwhakahaere o ngā mahi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, kaupapa here me ngā mahi rangahau mō
Obama mo Amerika, i reira i mau ia i te taitara Kaitohutohu Matua, a ko ia tetahi o nga kaihanga whakatau nui o te kaupapa a Obama. I whakaatuhia ia hei tetahi o nga kaitohutohu matua e wha (me David Axelrod, David Plouffe, me Robert Gibbs) i roto i te uiui "60 Minutes" i whakahaerehia i muri i te korero toa a te Perehitini-whakapono a Obama i te Noema 4, 2008, i Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois. I whakaahuatia ia, i roto i te uiuinga "60 Minutes", hei, "he tangata hou e whakahaere ana i nga korero, rangahau me nga kaupapa here". I te wa o te whakawhitinga perehitini o te 2008-09, i whakangungu a Dunn i te Kaitiaki Panui o te White House a Robert Gibbs.
