Top Obama advisor: Hillary’s a “monster”

[Samantha] Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from Mr Obama.

“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.

“Interestingly, the people in her innermost circle seem to not mind her; I think they really love her.”…

“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.”

She’ll have some fun with this tomorrow as an example of Obama’s fresh, new, “healing” tone. As for that horrible idea to play to Obama’s strength by holding a do-over caucus in Michigan in lieu of a primary, the monster has at last bared her fangs. And not just her, either. Over to you, Dean-o.

Update: Speaking of monsters, I’ve used the “King Kong clinging to the Empire State Building” analogy for our gal at least twice before. Let this make three. She’s going to fall, it’s just a matter of when:
We know that Hillary is unlikely to quit. This will leave it up to the superdelegates to figure out how to settle on a nominee. With 205 already committed to Obama, he would need another 200 uncommitted superdelegates to get to the magic number of 2025 delegates needed to nominate. But that’s only under my crazy pro-Hillary projections. More likely, Obama would need about 50-100 of the approximately 500 uncommitted superdelegates, which shouldn’t be too difficult.

and more comments

A subtle point with regard to media conventions:

If you want to talk off the record, you have to say “off the record” FIRST.

If you try to back up, and ask the reporter to consider your comments to be “off the record,” it’s up to the reporter (whether they’re in the tank for your candidate or not, basically)

So Sam Powers has:
1 - advocated the invasion of Israel
2 - advocated ethnic cleansing in Iraq
3 - called Hillary Clinton a “monster”

Which do you think will cause the most outrage in Democrats?

If you answered “3, but only if they are Hillary supporters, otherwise they don’t care” you win a prize!

Bonus Question: if Senator Obama’s camp can call Hillary a “monster,” what sort of words can Senator Clinton’s team now use on Barack?

ok, this one i really liked..

The Illinois senator took the offensive against Mrs Clinton, targeting her claims that she is more experienced in handling foreign policy. “Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no,” he said. “She made a series of arguments on why she should be a superior candidate. I think it’s important to examine that argument.”

Here’s the problem for The MITES (Messiah In The Empty Suit): The more he puts forward that argument, the more he’s saying that these things matter.

What a dumba$$.

some yummy threads at DU, actual cut and pastes

Is Keith Olbermann on the payroll of the Obama campaign?

Now I know why Ann Coulter supports Hillary

I’M SICK OF THIS MI & FL SH*T

Should Hillary Clinton be kicked out of the Democratic Party?

MONSTER!!!

KO just said it was actually clinton’s party that contacted the canadian govt:

Can we at least all agree that the word BITCH is out of bounds?

The ticket will be Clinton-Obama, get used to it, Hillary is going to destroy the hope peddler

JUST REMEMBER THAT REZKO WAS FINANCE DIRECTOR for OBAMAS DEMOCRATIC US SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN CMTE.

Keith O: Is Hillary a Lieberman Democrat?

Poor Hillary, everyone is against her!!

Clinton knows she cant win, wants McCain to win so she can swoop in in 4 years.

Maybe you want to rethink Obama before it’s too late…

Obama supporters- what is wrong with you?

HILLARY CLINTON IS A MORAN!!!

Cluster Bomb Clinton

You all are F’n Nuts!!!!

Who is the “monster” and who is the disaster?

Hussein Barack’s proposed Foreign Policy:

1 - Hussein Barack has opposed listing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.

2 - Hussein Barack proposed a bargain with Syria’s rulers.

3 - Hussein Barack is prepared to ignore two UN Security Council resolutions that require Iran to stop its uranium-enrichment program as a precondition for talks at the highest level.

4 - Hussein Barack has campaigned for a formal congressional move to prevent Bush from taking any military action against Tehran.

You idiots who are attacking Hillary ans wishing her defeat are working against America and siding with Islamic terrorism.

Go cheer for that Muslim who will hug terrorists in the Black House.

People lost their mind.

Either of these two could start an international incident by an offhand remark. I can’t imagine how the country would be safer with a president who was liable to start a war with a slip of the tongue, but was unwilling to fight a war when our lives depend on it

the media spin that The BarackStar! is directing a "perfectly managed campaign" is even unraveling.  he can't even  control his underlings.

pretty poor performance for a messiah.

so this Samantha Power woman has now either been fired or left of her own accord after making the 'monster' comments.


it will be interesting to see how Obama handles this or if the press completely forgets about it.

cause Hilary sure wont

the official word is that she quit.  but "quitting" can be either voluntary or involuntary.

And yet Bush is an idiot? At least he followed the UN resolutions before invading Iraq. With those two in office we won't have to wait for the next war to start.

Whoever wins the Democratic nomination, it is going to really tears them apart, no matter what. Last year, they said the Democrats would have a clear nomination and winner of the November election, while the Republicans would be split and lose the November election. Looks like the opposite has happened.
