Obama adviser resigns, called Clinton ‘monster’
Power told newspaper rival candidate stooping to low tactics
LONDON - A Barack Obama adviser resigned Friday after calling rival Hillary
Rodham Clinton "a monster."
Samantha Power, an unpaid foreign policy adviser and Harvard professor,
announced her resignation in a statement provided by the Obama campaign in
which she expressed "deep regret."
"Last Monday, I made inexcusable remarks that are at marked variance from my
oft-stated admiration for Senator Clinton and from the spirit, tenor, and
purpose of the Obama campaign," she said. "And I extend my deepest apologies
to Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and the remarkable team I have worked with
over these long 14 months."
Power's interview Monday was published Friday in a Scottish newspaper, even
though she tried to keep it from appearing in print.
"She is a monster, too — that is off the record — she is stooping to
anything," The Scotsman quoted her as saying.
As U.S. news media picked up on the remark, Power issued a statement of
apology and the campaign said Obama decried the characterization.
The Clinton campaign held a conference call with several of the former first
lady's congressional supporters calling for Power to be fired.
"Senator Obama has called for change, and a new kind of politics," said New
York Rep. Gregory Meeks. "This is the worst kind of politics."
Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson noted that those involved in the Clinton
campaign had been removed when they spoke of Obama's teenage drug use or
helped spread the false rumor that the Illinois senator is a Muslim.
He defended his own comparison of Obama to independent prosecutor Kenneth
Starr, saying he'd been responding to "attacks" from the Obama campaign
regarding Clinton's tax returns and real estate transactions. That, he said,
was a clear reference to Whitewater and so it was appropriate to bring up
Starr in that context.
