Obama Adviser Resigns

By NEDRA PICKLER

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Barack Obama adviser has resigned after calling rival Hillary Rodham Clinton “a monster.”

A campaign official told The Associated Press Friday that Samantha Power’s resignation is effective immediately.

Power told The Scotsman that Clinton is a “monster” who will stoop to anything to win. She tried to make the remark off the record, but the Scottish newspaper printed it anyway. She apologized in a statement and the campaign decried the remark.

Power is a foreign policy adviser to Obama and a Pulitzer Prize winner.

When asked about similar statements made by surrogates of the Clinton campaign, Howard Wolfson responded “there is a difference.”  I guess the difference is that this time it is the Obama campaign being accused as oppose to the Clinton campaign.  There are different rules for the Clinton campaign.  What were we thinking??  See story
