Samantha Power. (Update: Fuck.) (Updated further, With x-tra Rancor)

While I understand Obama may have to fire her, if he does so he will have lost a potentially phenomenal adviser.

And yet Kenneth Pollack -- who has enough blood on his hands to fill McCarren Pool twice over -- remains employed by the Senator Clinton.

...This is depressing. Whomever takes her place will almost assuredly be far less interesting.

...Oh please shut up, won't you? What SP said was stupid, not "the truth".

...Indeed.
If Hillary really thinks Obama hasn't yet passed the commander-in-chief threshold, then presumably she'd want him to be surrounded by the best foreign policy advisers he can find--both for the good of her party (should he be the nominee) and her country (should he be president). Or is she such a delicate flower that she'd prefer he be denied the benefit of an extremely competent foreign policy adviser because that adviser once called her a nasty name?

...Read this and this, too. Obama really fucked the pooch. I hope that, if elected, he regrets this spineless capitulation.

If Clinton can have an Obama adviser fired at will, is it safe to assume she is also tasked with hiring SP's replacement?
