Samantha Power, Who Called Clinton a 'Monster,' Headed to White House?

Hillary Clinton’s new colleague is an old foe.
Anonymous sources tell the Associated Press that President Barack Obama will soon pick Pulitzer prize-winning professor Samantha Power as the senior director for multilateral affairs at the National Security Council, a position that would put her in close proximity to Clinton. So why is this a big deal? Because Power stepped down from Obama’s campaign last year after calling Clinton a monster. Said Power to The Scotsman, "In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio’s the only place they can win. She is a monster, too — that is off the record — she is stooping to anything." Power later apologized for the remark and resigned.
The women have reportedly "buried the hatchet" and were even spotted chatting at a State Department event last week. No one knows what they were saying, but we’re sure it was all diplomatic!
