She really is. She had that condescending, arrogant, elitist, sneering look about her, in spades.

Samantha Power loads manure on flailing farmers, literally says out loud, ‘never let a crisis go to waste’
The Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, Samantha Power, told ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” we should “never let a crisis go to waste.”
“Fertilizer shortages are real now,” Power stated, “because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer, and even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia.”
“As a result,” she continued, “we are working with countries to think about natural solutions, like manure and compost.”
“And this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway,” Power said. “So, never let a crisis go to waste, but we really do need this financial support from the Congress to be able to meet emergency food needs so we don’t see the cascading, deadly effects of Russia’s war extend into Africa and beyond.”
As BizPac Review reported in January — a full month before Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine — the soaring price of fertilizer on the global market has already caused U.S. farmers to change their planting schedules and significantly impacted those developing countries with limited access to bank loans.
“Fertilizer demand in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to dip 30% in 2022 for this reason, resulting in a reduction of 30 million metric tons of food produced, or enough to feed 100 million people, according to the International Fertilizer Development Center,” BizPac reported.
At least, implied Fox News contributor Ben Domenech, Power is a “glass-half-full” kind of person.
“Untold numbers of the world’s poorest people will die because of the coming food shortages,” Domenech tweeted, “but Biden USAID Administrator @SamanthaJPower urges you to find the bright side.”
