Woman Who Called Hillary A “Monster” Is Working For Obama Again

Nice to know that her firing was just symbolic.

Samantha Power, the foreign-policy scholar who was banished from the Obama campaign for referring to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as a “monster” during the Democratic primaries, is working on President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team studying State Department personnel, operations and policy.

That’s potentially a little awkward because Clinton is scheduled to be designated Obama’s secretary of state early next week.

I didn’t really have much of a take on Powers’ firing in the first place, but it seems to me that Obama’s guilty of a bit of dishonesty here.  During his campaign he told voters with his actions that Powers’ comments were an offense worthy of firing.  With her re-hire, he shows us his gesture was symbolic and aimed at misleading the public.

In short, not the sort of thing a hope ‘n change candidate is supposed to do.
