Who is Samantha Power?

Harvard professor Power

"We f***** up in Ohio," she admitted. "In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win.

"She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything," Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark.

Ms Power said of the Clinton campaign: "Here, it looks like desperation. I hope it looks like desperation there, too.

"You just look at her and think, 'Ergh'. But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive."

Samantha Power gave this quote to The Scotsman during the 2008 Democrat presidential primary campaign.  Power quickly apologized and resigned from the Obama team.  And yet, Power now holds the title of "senior director of multilateral affairs" for the president's National Security Council and is thought likely to soon replace Clinton as Secretary of State.  This would be a nightmare for Americans and for freedom loving people around the globe.  

Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, was our first Secretary of State.  Hillary Clinton is certainly no Thomas Jefferson.  But it will get worse. 

Power is considered to be the architect of Obama's war in Libya.  While Power's is not yet a household name,  Stanley Kurtz is on target when he points out that Obama and Power share the goal of  "an ever-broadening regime of redistributive transnational governance".  Go to Lonely Conservative for more on the Kurtz analysis, and Power's radical background.
