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 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,
