Kumbayah, My Lord

Samantha Power is back in. You’ll remember her as the Harvard prof/Obama advisor who was forced to resign after she called Hillary a “monster,” one of the earlier examples of Obamian gutlessness, when an apology would have sufficed. Back from Coventry, out of the oubliette or whatever closet she was shoved in, Power’s now working on the Obama transition team preparing the way for Hill’s ascendance to State. Washington Post:

Power is listed on Obama’s transition Web site as part of the team reviewing national security agencies. Her duties, according to the site, will be to “ensure that senior appointees have the information necessary to complete the confirmation process, lead their departments, and begin implementing signature policy initiatives immediately after they are sworn in.”

In short, she is part of a team that is likely to work directly with Clinton, a potentially awkward situation for the two women. Obama is expected to officially announce Clinton as his choice for secretary of state after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Transition officials declined to comment. A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to an e-mail sent yesterday evening. Power has been on the list of review team officials since mid-November; the Associated Press first called attention to her presence on the list yesterday.

But people close to the transition suggested too much was made of Power’s comment at the time, and said that she has made moves to bury the hatchet with Clinton and that the senator accepted those efforts.

If so, that could pave the way for Power to reemerge as a key adviser for the new president after being barred for months from appearing on television as a foreign policy surrogate for Obama.

Power, who is close to Obama, resigned March 7 after being quoted in the Scotsman newspaper saying that Clinton “is a monster” and that “she is stooping to anything. . . . The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive.”

Kumbayah, my lord. Turns out we can all just get along. But this is not reallly about whether we can play nicely. Anyone who is concerned about the position of the United States in the world should be concerned that this woman, whose eyeballs apparently have not been gouged out, is being allowed anywhere near Foggy Bottom. Never mind her delightful, undiplomatic frankness. Samantha Power is a major Kumbayah chorus leader with incredibly bad ideas whose presence at the table bodes ill for what a lot of people have hoped could be a scorched-earth, harken-to-my-name-and-tremble Secretaryship of State, a somewhat welcome example of Obamist change.

(Nice wide-eyed, deer-in-the-headlights portrait above lifted from Harvard. Not sure what’s up with the strange frosty effect. It came that way. I think it might be pixie dust, picked up on Samantha’s last trip to Fairyland.)

Previously re Power, the genocide expert who thought preventing genocide was a cheesy excuse to stand by the Iraqi people after we took one of the great practitioners of genocide in our time. Hey, I called her a “Kumbayah chorus leader” then, too. I really need to get a new cliche for these pathetic spineless moralists.

Popping the Question

Power of Wishful Thinking

Good thing no one took her advice on Iraq. Bad news is, she now has a chance to influence policy re Iran and its Bush-imagined nuke program.

More at Four Horsemen of the Obacalypse: Obama anoints self-obsessed hippy, and helpfully points to Power’s blog, could be fruitful ground to pick over for any half-rotten potatoes to throw into future stews.

Malkin, Hillary gets the nod Monday, Bill to cough up secret donor names. Hot Air, Monsters of State.

Hey, Whiskey Fire through-clickers, that guy old enough to be drinking that? Reading clearly isn’t his strong suit, but maybe focusing is the problem. Drunk and ignorant, not a pretty site. Anyway, all incoming are welcome. Stick around, you might learn something.

   From that comfy, crowded, pre-election zone under the Obama bus…Arise ye bruised & tossed denizens of Temporary Barack Rejection(TBR) ! If the delicate Samantha thought Hill was a “Monstaw”, whatever will she have to(quietly)say about Bill Gates, killer of ‘yootful Islamist Butchers?

   Wasn’t she the moron who wants to have the Untited States forcibly disarm the Isreali Defense Force so that the Palistinians won’t have a reason to attack them?

   I guess she never asked the Isrealis what they might think of that idea or our own military who would be carrying out the order.
   (Or more then likely flat out refusing the order)

   Moves to bury the hatchet notwithstanding, Good Sam’s eyes may not have been gouged out… yet… but let’s remember, Hillary is a patient woman.

   Blame opponents when things go wrong and take credit when things go right

   I’ve confirmed by google snooping that this Harvard-Brit really
   DOES look as nutty as she appears here. Bummer.

   “Samantha Power is back in.”

   And mass-murdering despots, fanatic terrorists and those who favor ugly women are cheering worldwide.

   I figure Sam’s strategy for stopping genocide is to throw herself naked at the feet of the genocidal despots, and they’ll then stampede into heavy traffic trying to get away.
