OBAMA SLAYS HIS 'MONSTER'

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.

Hillaries from the id.

Clinton supporters operatives had demanded that she be axed.

Had to fix that.

DemocRAT version of Anne Coulter?

Obama's newly picked Military adviser said a year ago in an interview in a Third Planet Report/Interview, that he, Gen. McPeak, did not support a withdrawal with time table announced! for the obvious safety reasons. He did support a withdrawal intelligently. But then who has not. McPeak wanted to stop building bases (12 mol)immediately as only what he considered monuments to the war in Iraq. McPeak wanted to shut down Abu grab prison and "plant a garden", as he saw it as bad diplomacy after The Infamous Photos were shown around the world, saying they would show up in textbooks of Arab school children and saw an everlasting negative reminder for keeping the prison open. So if Obama has picked the General as his adviser, he must be aware of the General's opinions.

Do not think this person is the only one that has called Hillary a Monster, but was dumb for public record.

General McPeak Interview Video .. which might be good for reference in addressing the war with Obama.

OBAMA SLAYS HIS 'MONSTER'

Sounds like a euphemism for something else.

That was after he choked his chicken.

"Okay Samantha, go out there and be honest and speak your mind and after I fire you for it I promise you a lucrative future after I am POTUS".

Regards,

President elect Obama.

Wouldn’t kill her to pick up a weight now and then.

Ping!

Although the NY Post article is silent on the issue, Ms. Power was known to be very much pro-Pali and anti-Israel. Her separation from the Obama camp bears no relation to her foreign policy ideas. “Osama” Obama still maintains several high-profile advisors of the same Arabist bent.

Isn’t it fun to watch liberals tear each other apart?

[varon]

I have yet to hear a denial from either Hillary or any member of her staff that she is a monster. The only rebuttal I've heard is Hillary's concern about what is being said behind closed doors about her.

So, now even talking about Hillary behind closed doors is forbidden.

Note to Samantha: Liberals generally cannot stand truth - that is where your problem lies. Hillary is a monster; and Obama’s Iraq policy is only a stupid, unachievable promise. Become a Conservative - we deal with reality much better.

Thanks JS, and good point.

[Zero Sum]

She should be fired for such a comment. It’s an insult to monsters.

"H-how could she compare us to that witch?"

[redstateconfidential]

DAMN! (I thought the same thing!)

[TexanToTheCore]

The pictures were done with A class makeup artists. She isn’t that good looking. Just tall and skinny.

[Nonstatist]

Just tall and skinny.

Better than fat and short.

Baby’s got neck.

Baby Moma's got neck, too.

Those are Vogue photos? She’s reasonably attractive in a Caroline Kennedy kind of way, but I think she could be much more attractive in different shots. Her mouth is tense, and she’s a little thin, and the photographer obviously did nothing to help her relax. There’s nothing wrong with her, but the expressions are bad, and the clothing does not flatter her.
