She did admirable work in damage control of Bill Clinton’s image.

She had been the Communications Director for Senator Ted Kennedy since the beginning of 2001 to 2003 when she was selected as Communications Director for John Kerry campaign. She was severely criticized for her stern and surly personality during the campaign, and held responsible for Kerry’s defeat. On the contrary, Kerry praised her work, and considered her criticism as unfair. After this, Cutter resumed her work with Ted Kennedy.

She was appointed and designated as Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama in June 2008 for general election campaign for the Presidential election. Cutter and Michelle Obama worked in tandem, and are considered instrumental for augmenting Obama’s popularity with the public.
