Former Obama Aid, Samantha Power to be appointed to Foreign Policy Job; at the White House

Yes, you read that correctly…:

Samantha Power, the Harvard University professor who earned notoriety for calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a “monster” while working to elect Barack Obama president, will take a senior foreign policy job at the White House, The Associated Press has learned.

Officials familiar with the decision say Obama has tapped Power to be senior director for multilateral affairs at the National Security Council, a job that will require close contact and potential travel with Clinton, who is now secretary of state. NSC staffers often accompany the secretary of state on foreign trips.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Power’s position, as well as that of other senior NSC positions, have not yet been announced. One official said the announcements would be made in the near future.

White House officials would not provide details of Power’s new role.

It should be noted that this woman is very highly Anti-Israel, and pro-Palestinian. Not to mention, she is a immigrant from Ireland. Could not Obama find a natural-Born American citizen to do the job?  Oh, Wait, my bad; The Democratic Party is the party of immigrants, especially the illegal kind. Not to mention the fact that the Democratic Party is the party of terrorist appeasers. So, this just goes with the territory.

Jonah Goldberg is a fucking dolt

I’m looking over at “The Corner” and I see this little nugget of Goldie reacting to line in “The One’s” Speech:

No, “they” didn’t. Slaves certainly didn’t endure the lash of the  of the whip out of a sense of service and sacrifice for us. That is one of the reasons slavery is so evil; it isn’t voluntary. Suffice it to say that if that line had come out of a different man’s mouth it would not be nearly so well-received. Nor did those immigrants make their sacrifices for “us.” They made them for themselves, for their own pursuit of happiness, for their families.

Which proves to me, that White Conservatives, (Well, except for me, because I grew up in the inner city) just do not understand black culture, at all.

Jonah, I know this might be hard for you to believe, but Obama was NOT referring to General America, you idiot; he was referring to BLACK AMERICA!

It’s no wonder that Conservatives in general, not to mention the Republican Party as a whole; are so damned out of touch with the rest of America.
