Samantha Powers is no longer advising Barack Obama on Foreign Policy. She has been banned from being seen with Barack or any one else on Barack's team. This came about when Ms. Powersn described Mrs. Clinton. I didn't actually hear her voice to know how she was inflecting her words, she described Mrs. Clinton this way, "Hillary is a monster" soon after she received her pink slip. I have to suppose Samantha didn't say it to mean she was a giant of a person, making impressions on people that would demand respect toward her. Samantha must have meant Hillary was the scary type of Monster like the one living in your closet or under your bed.

Ms. Powers apologized faster then a Tornado can take your socks off. What is ironic about this, Smantha off the record admires Hillary and likes her. I guess it's a women thing. Samantha Powers cannot be seen with Mr. Obama nor any persons affiliated with him in public. However she can still converse with Mr. Obama in private and continue advising him on the subject of Foreign Policy. Mr. Obama with little experience, needs all the help he can muster on the subject.

This incident may have been caused by the one sided attack Hillary has brought to the table. Mr. Obama has not gone down that road and perhaps Ms. Powers was trying to level the playing field, if just a little.
