March 8, 2008 -- A top foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama resigned yesterday after calling Hillary Rodham Clinton "a monster."
Samantha Power, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Harvard prof who posed last summer for a glamorous pictorial in Vogue, came under fire after firing off the insult. She further embarrassed Obama by saying his plan to withdraw from Iraq could become inoperative if he wins the White House.

“a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Harvard prof”
Need we say anything else?
The Clintons are really creepy people. Remember when Bill was president and he was viewing a mummy and it was claimed to be the body of a 14 year old girl. Bill said something to the effect “that’s a good looking mummy, if I wasn’t a married man I would ask that mummy for a date.” The rejection of these two from the national scene, by their own Democratic party, is worth the price of admission.
Seen Maria Shriver lately?
So what if she called Hillary a "monster." She IS a monster. She could have called her a lot worse.
Does Obama think Hillary is going to get nicer as the days and weeks go by? Or that HIllary will play by the rules? Fat chance.
Obama needs to get on the offensive and stay there. Otherwise, Hillary will succeed at painting Obama as an uppity black boy who should know his place when the lady of the house tells him to speak quieter.
HAHAHAHAHA

Monster Moment:
“Last Monday, I made inexcusable remarks that are at marked variance from my oft-stated admiration for Senator Clinton and from the spirit, tenor, and purpose of the Obama campaign. And I extend my deepest apologies to Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and the remarkable team I have worked with over these long 14 months.”
Interesting reactions coming from the Obama supporters (for the most part)on the Monster Moment:
Good for Samantha Power, it’s a sentiment felt by half of the Democratic electorate, and 90% of the Republican electorate, and it’s why she’s a terribly flawed candidate. And for her defenders, it is her own damn fault, and it’s no right wing conspiracy, or left wing conspiracy, it’s merely empirical observation. Compared to what Clinton surrogates have said and implied about Obama, only stopping short of using the N-word, this campaign is slowly descending into the what you would expect from a Clinton election,...says one, I assume, Obama supporter.
Power had a definite following by those that have gaged her qualifications. Ah..is it ok to be impressed with the overall accomplishments of this Ex-Obama girl?
She looks like Arnold’s wifemaria Shriver...a KENNEDY.
She may deserve it, they're a couple of nothings.
He "ideas" from my prior post are childlike, imo. I read it when it first came out, but as I recall her book on genocide was outstanding. So she suggests America should militarily solve the Israeli-palestinian conflict. We could defeat them both, the idea we should is absurd. I don't know what else she's had to say on the topic, but to me this is an early 30s academic, a pretty smart academic, expounding on a topic of interest. Sounding like a fool.
Fast forward to a Presidential candidate, who hires this foolish academic as a top foreign policy advisor.
That concerns me.
Then fires her for correcting describing Hillary.
At least she didn't call Hillary a witch, bringing religious tolerance into the equation.
I've no problems with Ms Power,
Is she sitting on a soap box?
Exactly!
Samantha Power: “I must apologize for calling Hillary a ‘monster’..... that was totally inaccurate and uncalled for. What I meant to say is that there are good reasons she is known as...... the HILDEBEAST!”
Needs some work on the brows...
They just normally look like this:
“She got them Applebottom jeans/Boots with the fir...”
That's not a reporterette, it's a man, baby!
This was truly heart breaking! This woman is a vicious anti American anti Semite who replaced Brizinski (sp) who just wanted the state of Israel dissolved. having her advise abracadabra would have been sooooooooo much fun.
She has man-hands.
Obama should sign on Charlize Theron as his new Secretary-of-State in waiting....... the ideas would be the usual nutty leftist b.s. but at least she’d look hot in the newswire photos!! Only danger is that there are actually some people who might vote for him because of Charlize..... including Bill Clinton!!
They fired the last Dem with a brain?
