Barack Obama’s unstable anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power has resigned from the Obama campaign, after calling Hillary Clinton “a monster.”

I suspect the resignation was “suggested.”

WASHINGTON—Samantha Power resigned as a foreign policy advisor to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) after she called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) a “monster” in an interview with The Scotsman newspaper.

Power was in London for a book tour and to headline fundraisers for Obama. Power was an ardent and passionate supporter of Obama who took almost a year off from her job as a professor at Harvard University to work in Obama’s Senate office. She has been deeply involved in policy, youth outreach—she is a popular campus speaker—and fund-raising for Obama. She was due in Chicago on March 16 to headline a fund-raising event for Obama.

You see, when I was a kid I used to save up for a month, so I could get an R&B album and, the same day, the completed works of Anton Webern. Maybe that means something. Maybe that tells you something about my music. -- Excerpt from the book "Rock and Other Four Letter Words", copyright 1968.
