WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House official says President Barack Obama will name former aide Samantha Power as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Power will replace Susan Rice, who will take over as Obama's national security adviser. The official says Obama will announce both appointments from the White House Wednesday afternoon.
Power is a longtime Obama adviser who worked on his 2008 presidential campaign and ran the human rights office in the White House.

Obama Advisor Samantha Power Calls for Invasion of Israel
Uploaded on Mar 1, 2011
In 2002 Samantha Power made the above statement, calling for a U.S. military invasion of Israel.
In January 2009 President Obama appointed Samantha Power to the National Security Council, as director for multilateral affairs.
A transcript of the above interview is below:
INTERVIEWER: “Let me give you a thought experiment here, and it is the following: without addressing the Palestine — Israel problem, let’s say you were an advisor to the President of the United States, how would you respond to current events there? Would you advise him to put a structure in place to monitor that situation, at least if one party or another [starts] looking like they might be moving toward genocide?”
POWER: “What we don’t need is some kind of early warning mechanism there, what we need is a willingness to put something on the line in helping the situation. Putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing — or investing, I think, more than sacrificing — billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a mammoth protection force, not of the old Rwanda kind, but a meaningful military presence. Because it seems to me at this stage (and this is true of actual genocides as well, and not just major human rights abuses, which were seen there), you have to go in as if you’re serious, you have to put something on the line.
Unfortunately, imposition of a solution on unwilling parties is dreadful. It’s a terrible thing to do, it’s fundamentally undemocratic. But, sadly, we don’t just have a democracy here either, we have a liberal democracy. There are certain sets of principles that guide our policy, or that are meant to, anyway. It’s essential that some set of principles becomes the benchmark, rather than a deference to [leaders] who are fundamentally politically destined to destroy the lives of their own people. And by that I mean what Tom Freidman has called “Sharafat.” I do think in that sense, both political leaders have been dreadfully irresponsible. And, unfortunately, it does require external intervention.”

wife of Cass Sunstein
Like Bauer and Dunn, Ayers and Dohrn, et al, these are another couple of barking moonbat liberals being elevated into positions where they can do real damage to our nation and our allies. Samantha’s views on Israel actually qualify her to be al Qaeda’s first UN ambassador.
Once these slugs burrown into the host can we ever be rid of them ....
Idiot lib-dem socialist b*tch belongs at Mother Earth News, not US Gov’t.
Samantha Power is married to Cass Sunnstein. That is all.
Mrs. Cass Sunstein.
More Israel haters.
from wiki:On July 4, 2008, Power married law professor Cass Sunstein, whom she met while working on the Obama campaign.[12] On April 24, 2009, she gave birth to their first child, Declan Power Sunstein.[13] On June 1, 2012 they had a daughter, Rían Power Sunstein.
The communistic incestuousness of this Administration never disappoints.

Word around town is that she seems more like Mrs Elena Kagan these days...if ya catch my drift.
They will be successful for a time... about 7 years.
