Clinton Basher Working on State Department Transition Team

Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 9:27 AM

Remember Samantha Power? She was one of the up and coming foreign policy thinkers for Barack Obama until she told the BBC his withdrawal plan wouldn't work and described Hillary Clinton a "monster" to a Scottish newspaper.

As a result Obama aced her from his team, but now she's back! And, she's is in very unlikely place considering the "monster" that could be soon be Secretary of State. That's right. Obama has tapped Powers to be one of the 14 people to help smooth the transition in the State Department between the Bush and Obama administration.

How do you think Clinton feels about this one?!?! Clinton hasn't been given the job yet, but the Clinton and Obama camps have hinted an announcement could come sometime after Thanksgiving.

Clinton used the monster comment to raise money during the Democratic primary by sending an email to supporters that said "there is a price to this kind of political attacks."

Triangled Obama
Obama's defense cabinet. This is a British Parliament. Dual presidency. Hillary Clinton will "step-over" the little man Obama. She will form alliances with Gates and the rest and triagle the little Obama.

timzank, No they will kill your young,
not their own. We should be so lucky that they would kill their own. They are content to kill millions of innocent babies year after year as a sacrifice to their unHoly religion of secularism.

Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows
It should be painfully obvious to even the most idealistic young dems, that these people would kill their young to obtain and/or keep power. Whatever Samantha said during the primary is of little consequence now.

excellent!
the vile Samantha Power was one of the reasons I didn't vote for Obama. but I think it'd be poetic justice if she found herself at State with her boss being "the monster" Hillary. don't hold your breath on that Christmas bonus, Sam!

why?
I know it's a good idea for daddy to punish you by making you do things you don't like.. but she's lost her job and he's not her father. It's crazy to me to think that the leftist illuminati doesn't oust her from the country via that statement.

What is this?
Who CARES what Hillary Clinton thinks? She didn't just turn into a statesman within the last few weeks. She is the power hungry ideologue she has always been. And what's up with the sudden relief that Obama is nominating former Clinton retreads. Are these people suddenly NOT what they were during Clinton's term? The ones who saw no problem with tech companies that never turned a profit being bought and sold for millions more than their ledgers could justify (until THAT bubble collapsed too). The policies that led to the mortgage crisis were put into place by these people for Christ's sake It looks like our side continues to make the same mistakes over and over and over. Hugh Hewitt seems to have a problem with enemy identification-just like Pres. Bush
