Obama Foreign Policy Adviser Calls Clinton a 'Monster'

Obama just depresses me. I know he won't care about women. Power just voices what Obama's campaign says in private. I'm a lifelong democrat and if Obama wins I would see no reason to vote because his nomination would mean women don't count.

Well what would Othello do? Not trust his wife? Hum does that transfer gender to campaign fodder? I haven't been watching the deification of Obama as after a few speeches in Iowa of puffery rhetoric and Oprah's tent revival complete with coloquial renditions I spared myself the political opera. What would suit the Republicans more than the Dems running a candidate with scant experience against Mc Cain? How Rovian to split the ticket and bring out the misogynist vote. Will the American public be fooled again? Holy Moly more twists and turns than a three penny opera. Go Hillary, my god let's get something done! Political posturing with hearts and flowers is great for the movies but in reality experience counts wake up and vote for Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton never intimates that she's not a monster; she'll never deny that. Hillary just called Barack Obama's hand and he folded. Barack might have called Hillary's bluff; so Hillary, are you in fact saying that you're not a monster? Monster in this sense: inhumanly cruel or wicked person. Barack chose to lose a staffer instead. Let Hillary gloat and strut, let her also deny that she’s not in fact an inhumanly cruel or wicked person

I don't know if this is worse than Obama calling both the Clintons liars. He also refers to Hillary as divisive and had certainly suggested that they are both crooks and cannot be trusted.

Hillary runs an ad on a general question on who would the American people rather answer a phone call at the white house at 3:00 a.m. in the morning in time of crisis, and they cry foul, even though, Obama camp plagiarized the same ad content and actually mention Hillary's name in his ad about the same subject in rebuttal.

The more the media (NBC, MSNBC, Newsweek, CNN, FOX, & NPR) beat up on Hillary, the more we love her. The media will not succeed telling us who to vote for in this election.

I don't care if Ms. Power is fired or resigns or stays on the Obama campaign, but her comment is instructive; she could hardly blurt out that kind of language if the idea was not current in her milieu, although she may have been naive enough to think, momentarily, it was OK to say it in public. The monster concept, if not the word, is built into Obama’s speeches, his supporters’ screeds on the internet, and the hostile media coverage of the campaign: An ambitious woman who refuses to step gracefully aside when Prince Charming appears is a monster. Must be. There is no other possibility. Once you get that part, all of the rest, from foreign-policy experts to bloggers to Drudge, makes perfect sense. Check the above comments. It’s all there.

I read these comments and wonder who in the world the Obama supporters are trying to "win over" with their childish tirades. Certainly not any HRC supporters (about 13 million so far). I have stated before that we have heard such rants for years and still think she is the best choice.
Possibly, the rants are merely to appease their own frustration over the fact that their candidate has ceased "to progress" and now is regressing. Don't give up the hope! Hope and about 5 dollars will buy you a gallon of milk.

But she is a monster! Hiderbeast; the most terrifying 'women' on gods green earth. Just listen to that hideous cackle, it bloody gives me nightmares it does.
When I see on her on the old TV box it almost makes me wish I lived in some Muslim country, somewhere like Iran. At least then they would make her put a towel over her head.
In fact that’s a great idea! Barack Hussein Obama for president!

Oh...Please I confuse now...
The slogan has gone : Hope and Change.
Should I take my vote back?
I told you so...

Thinking Working Mom: Thanks for the most honest statement I've seen on this board, especially the opening "Full Disclosure. " Do we get the same from the National Correspondent? His posts are running at least 12-1 pro-McCain and we still haven't seen a single piece on a) McCain and the fawning press (and I'm not talking about Obama, I'm talking about Sedona); McCain's reversal on torture; McCain's flip-flops on the Iraq war (100 years, 50 years, a few years, or real soon), or the realistic costs of any of the McCain proposals. What would the press response have been if Obama sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran in repsonse to a foreign policy question? This week, one of McCain's foreign policy advisors stated that the December intelligence report on Iran (probably the most comprehensive intelligence piece in recent history) was "sketchy".

Yes, it was a dumb political move for an Obama staff member to mouth off. But does that compare to a presidential candidate singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" in response to a foreign policy question?" It would be a disasterous foreign policy move to engage in yet another war in the middle east by attacking Iran. Which is more important? A dumb off-the-record statement by Samantha Powers, or another war? Do you want to send your kid to fight in Iran?

There are endless things to admire and like about McCain. But that doesn't mean that he deserves a free ride to the White House - and that's what the MSM is giving him.

Oh it is a well manipulated and orchestrated ploy by the Obama campaign. She is going to be forced to resign just to prove the point that Obama doesn't tolerate negative campaigning. It's all too familiar but I am sure it will get all the attention it deserves, more publicity for Obama's camp.

If I say that the sky is blue, should I be required to quit my job?

Power spoke the truth, and more power to her for saying it. Maybe she shouldn't had called her a monster but HRC is indeed ruthless and willing to do anything to win the nomination. Any discreet person can see that.

Rialb58, you saying that isn't so about Obama? Injecting the race card in the campaign, the deadliest of political sins in America via his wife towards Bill Clinton telling the truth on Obama's Iraq war stances (plural, not that one speech, but all actions since)and his campaign by the leaked memo on how to turn Hillary's MLK statement into a racial remark just before SC?

Those grounds alone show just how low Obama will go, from stacking caucus's and using strong arm techniques in them to lossing every major state where the people vote as they should!

Sorry, I listen to what candidates say and Obama clearly stated in 2004 that he has no EXPERIENCE what so ever to run for President and he has since proven he hasn't! My how a persons own words come to haunt them huh!

Which, as Tina Fey so well explained: they get things done.

John I am a Democrat, and I certainly do not hold to the belief or threats made by supposed Independants who are:
Non-commital to anything!
Use threat tactics to move their agenda along!
Disguise themselves as such an run back to the Republican Party anyhow come election time!

I also do not care if the candidate is white, black, red, green or yellow, what I care about is what the candidates say, their records of achieving what they say and their performances which provides their experience to hold a certain office!

This being the office of the President, there is no way on earth I would support someone who:

claims to attract Independants and Republicans when his record on elections shows otherwise!

claims to be a uniter, yet he did nothing his first 6 yrs as a State Senator and only did things or had his name added to Bills for appearance sake his final year before going after a US Senate seat!

claims to be one thing, yet his actions prove he is not!

claims to be transparent, yet has to have teeth pulled before providing more! Even Alexrod stated they will decide in time if they will release more documents on the Rezko and the house dealings, that transparency!

Stump speeches followed by inaction on a persons part simply says words are empty!

Clinton never stumped on transparency, Obama did, yet he hides and throws accusations towards his opponents as to his values on the stump, sorry don't fly in do as I say and not as I do!

There is no way I will join the movement like that when as every cult in history has proven that the Cult leader is no messiah, only a self serving profiteer!

This lady just stepped down,now the jerk that cslled Qbama Ken Starr is he stepping down did he say he was sorry NO>>> NO>>>> two different sets of rules you Clintons make me sick and if she is on the ballot we WILL have another republican in the White House.

Disclosure: I am a Hillary supporter. I also find Obama interesting, but not ready for prime time. I like what's going on in our Party right now. People are starting to think critically about the candidates. Until Ohio, (not counting NY), the Democratic rank and file weren't showing up in enough numbers to offset the newbies: made up mostly of young people, most likely college students (where Obama has built enormously on what Dean and MoveOn started 4 years ago), and independents. The rank and file, mostly hard working folks with families, and a lot of young women who don't have the baggage "feminism" seems to evoke in so many,have been outnumbered in the primaries, mostly in cauceses. The suffrage movement was a civil rights movement,giving women the right to vote, to have a voice, and the feminism that evolved from the 1960's, just as my generation of young women went off into the world of college, jobs, activism, marriage,children, careers, was continulally advocated just by virtue of the choices we were making: the right of women to have equal opportunity in education and equal pay for equal work. Obama documents his journey in his books and his story is also compelling and his purposeful life is to be commended. Let's just all pay attention and participate, and let the contest proceed. We need to get back the White House; over the next few months, we will see our 2 contenders continue to battle it out, and millions of more votes will be cast in States that have not spoken yet. I may be convinced, but I'm not the voter in Mississipi or the voter in Forida or Michigan, either. If Obama is smart, he'll stop trying to wring superdelegate votes and whining about delegate counts, and enter the arena. He can wash his hands afterwards, which the last few weeks have shown he is perfectly capable of. Politics is a rough game, so is the presidency.

No- Referring to Samantha Power as she has been defined as one of Obama's foreign policy advisers. That is what this thread is about- her hateful comments about the people of Ohio and Senator Clinton- or did you not have time to read it? It must be tough being a paid blogger of Obama's and spewing so much hatred. Hope and Change- hope and change -hope and change- what a joke.

Well, well, well, looky what we have here: politics as usual?! Say one thing, do another. Lead by example? You are only as good as your advisors. Ever hear of "top down" management? Obviously the Obama team is talking out of both sides of their mouths and if we listen closely, the deafening sound of hypocrisy is obvious. Transparent government? Only what I want you to see. Give me a break! Obama you have some explaining to do on a number of issues, not the least of which is why you can't control your own staff. The "we have run out of time", or "I was busy" or "that was a boneheaded move" doesn't cut it! Not with the press and not with the American people. If you are going to run for President on the platform of “change you can believe in” or "new politics", then you’d better do it. Actions do speak louder than words.

Go Hillary! A proven, tested, vetted leader ready to go to work for us on day one!

So when is this Obama aide going to be fired?" OH YEAH! that's right, Obama doesn't fire anyone who fouls on his team, just like Bush!! Hillary has held every last one of her aides accountable for this kind of thing, Obama has shown every time on the other hand what he would do as President, protect his cronies and never fire them and hold them accountable!! just like Bush does!! Voting for Barrack Obama is a HUGE mistake! Hillary Clinton has the integrity to lead honestly and fairly as this one of many examples once again proves.

Clear Choice....from your post I cannot tell if you are a Hillary supporter seriously stating that you don't care about Independent voters or you are a McCain supporter who would welcome me. Based on your Obama rant I suspect you support Hillary. Let me just say that Clinton will not win the election without attracting moderate Republicans and Independents like myself in Southern and Midwestern states. Take a look at the red/blue state maps of the last two elections and that is exactly how it will play out in the next election if Hillary is nominated.
