Ms. Power suddenly realized that wishing Mr. Ignatieff well in his political endeavours, as she did in the initial interview, could be perceived as Mr. Obama hoping Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government falls. Ms. Power is no longer an Obama adviser, but is still seen as close to him.
