There is a difference in characterizing someone a monster and stating that she will stoop to anything - these are not truth and she has no basis for making those statements. Her goal was clearly to defame Senator Clinton, who has the most positive image abroad.

Characterising Obama as Ken Starr is an accurate characterization. He pushes and pushes so he can detract from himself. Instead of answer the questions voters have about what he means by "change," what is his relationship with Rezko, what really happened in Canada and don't the Rezko and Canada fiascos show poor judgement, he goes on the offensive and attacks Senator Clinton. The reason he lost Ohio and Texas has nothing to do with what Senator Clinton did, but with what he did not do. The minute he takes responsiblities for his losses, the sooner he'll recover. Wha, wha, wha, wha - that's Obama's anthem and that of his supporters who cannot tell you, specifically, why they support him except for some pie in the sky notion that change will just occur and that experience is not necessary to run our country.

I'm an Obama supporter, but if he does make a decisive stand soon, he should quit. He is playing into the trap Hillary has set. Before he would call camp Clinton every they played old politics. Now he's letting her control every news day. Hillary lost the elections & can only win thru playing media perception. If he's not smart enough to handle this, then maybe she should be the nominee.
Also, How do we get rid of Howard Dean?

Gee, I wonder if Penn and Wolfson shouldn't consider the same move.
And while they're at it, take that weasel Lanny Davis with 'em. How can anyone not smell the sleaze and stench in that Clinton campaign? Karl Rove must be in all of their wet dreams or they in his.

She's a monter!

Well, isn't she a monster? I can't wait til Laura Bush decides to run for President in 2012!

While I understand the need for the "resignation" I fully agree with her comments.

Apparently being a professor at Harvard doesn't mean you are intelligent. C'mon Obama get your mojo back!

CNN please update the public on NAFTA-gate and the Peter Paul issue.

This is all plan by Obama to show how clean he is ….first prompt your people to go negative and than say you regret it…who is hypocrite here….

Hillary is pushing the whole country to the back of the bus. Don't let this happen.

Hey Samantha Power, listen to yourself and look in the mirror, and realize how this is the pot calling the kettle black… even though Senator Clinton may be more of monster…

Everything Power said is true and I admire her for saying it. Hillary knows she is going to lose to OBAMA, so she is trying to ensure that McCain wins in Novermber so that she can try again in 2012. She will stoop to any level to get back into the whitehouse and that is the truth and the whole truth. I fail to understand why her supporters can't see that.

In Europe we call this 'keeping up appearances'.

By the way, a monster is not necessarily a negative term, is it?

So the weight of this moderate name-calling lies with the listener.
Apparently Hillary is a bit jumpy and needs all the help (?) she can get.

it was inexcusable and it is good that she left. I support Hilary and I voted for her but IF she didn't get the nomination then I will still Vote Democrat therefore at the end of this road why divide ourselves that much…………………yes we would all like OUR candidate to Win but only one will stand alone and we must stand behind that person NO MATTER WHO IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,
TEXAS DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!

Well, isn't she a monster? I can't wait til Laura Bush decided to run for President in 2012!

She should not have resigned! They ARE monsters and know it.

Well, she is a monster. After all, the boogey man is going to neglect your kid at 3:00AM in the morning. Cmon! Those are monster tactics. I will never support Hillary Clinton.

1) First, this Harvard professor makes publicly such a stupid remark.
There are more polite, certainly not laudatory, names for what
Hillary represents

2) Then OBAMA does the correct by firing (= "resigning") her, not only
because he promised to do so with persons which do so, but
because her lack of intelligence.
I would not beem so polite, a plain firing would have set an
warning for other)

3) To put the point on the "ies", she has the hypocrisy to state that she
admire" Hillary. How a person like this gets a professorship at
Harvard ? Affirmative action ?

4) Both Hillary and Obama compete in hiring the most inadequate
advisers !

TOM

Funny to see all the Hillarymaniacs out and happy for a change, enjoy it while it lasts. It would be nice as well if you can answer what exactly makes Mrs. Clinton experienced and ready to run this country?

If she was not prepared to run this campaign (she led by over 20 points on all polls as late as November 07) and go beyond Super Tuesday, how will she be ready on day 1?

As far as I can tell, being a lawyer for Wall-mart and an expert on dirty negative politics does not qualify you to lead a nation. She has had every single advantage from the start date to take this nomination easily: name recognition, support of insiders, money from lobbyists, and yet ineptitude has been commander in chief of her campaign.

Among her illustrious supporters we find no other than Mr. Rush Limbaugh, who can sense (as the majority of Republicans can sense now) that her nomination would be the GOP’s best shot and continuing their power grip on American society and politics.

Honestly, how badly do you want to lose to John MaCain? I use to have a high opinion of the Clintons, but it is clear now that they care only about power and self opportunity. If going negative is what it takes to keep them out of the White House, a place they probably believes is theirs by birth right, so be it, enough of this nonsense, asking Power to kick off because the Clinton’s were “offended” is weak, this is not going to help Obama, he is going to be eaten by the Monster.

The belly of the snake always follows the head. Go Hillary, go.

I hope this will open the eyes of the American people to see the level of integrity and professionalism tthat Sen. Obama holds himself and his campaign to. The "other" candidate will allow her communications director to compare her opponent to Kenneth Starr out of desperation and do nothing about it.

Actions speak louder than words Hillary supporters. Obama didn't have to fire Power because she resigned, get your facts straight. Why doesn't your campaign get rid of Wolfson, he threw some negative name calling at Obama. Oh that's right, Hillary is supposed to be the nominee according the the press and Washington. Good thing there's the internet and people who have a voice.

Obama is much too good a man to be elected President in this
PATHETIC country that my father and three uncles died for and I
fought for. It was a truly great country then. We vetrans feel the greatest
enemy is with in our country now. A country that chooses liars
and tyrants and cowards to cheat us, steal from us, murder millions
of innocent civilians then tap dance on their memories. We torture
openly, all propaganda is spewed on our young through willing
TV networks and internet. We cannot even bring trators to trial.
The Constitution and rule of Law is made fun of by The famous
AWOL President and Vice President, who has been mysteriously
AWOL for months. Terrorists may be a threat but they are nothing
compared to this REPUBLICAN WAR FOR OIL KILLING MACHINE.

As usual, the Obama campaign has moved swiftly and used good judgement to solve a problem. Now lets get back to focusing on whom in the Clinton campaign was responsible for NAFTAGate -

CNN, it is your responsibility to dig deeper into the role the Clinton campaign played in talking to the Canadians and then spinning it KiKi style to slander Obama. This tactic allowed them to win Ohio.

They continue to plant un-truths (just prior to each primary) and take no responsibility when the truth comes out.

Do some investigative reporting.

Last night I was watching 360 with Anderson Cooper. One of the commentators made a comment that was very disturbing to me; he said that, the people are not voting for Mr. Obama anymore. My response to him is, yes the people are voting for Mr. Obama, the weather was not on his side. I believe some funny things are taking place in the Clinton campaign, but I know the truth will be revealed. Hillary you will cry like a baby as you always do.

The majority of the $55 million raised by Obama should be declared Illegal ! These monies come from Blacks on Welfare; thus the U.S. Gov. is paying for Obama's Pursuit !

Maybe this will set a tone for both camps that personal attacks will not be tolerated. After all, we are all Demcrats and will need to be unified against the Republicans in November.

what in the world was this nitwit woman thinking?

It's all in the game called politics. Just as you can't wade in the water without getting wet, you can't play in political mud and with out getting dirty. The same thing happened to Clinton staffers in New Hampshire,
remember? In politics TRUTH is RELATIVE to the one you support.

that is a road too high that obama is tempting to walk on and if this is a sign for things to come in his government then dare i say, we can believe again!

Sounds like the EgObama people are saying one thing to some and something else to others. Sounds kinda like the NAFTA/Canada deal.

It amazes me how ANY Democrat can walk the way the keep shooting themselves in the foot. What a bunch of losers.

Duh! Of course Wolfson won't resign. There is one set of rules for the elite of the Democratic party (e.g. Gore being an energy hog in his home and with his gigantic carbon footprint with his travels), and another set of rules for the rest of us. Figure it out everyone…the Democratic party is the less democratic than the Republican party. The Democrats are getting set to make the whole "hanging chad" issue between Bush and Gore seem like a Sunday tea party compared to the way Clinton is going to subvert the system to her own benefit to get Florida and Michigan counted. OK, kids, now is this all clear? Democratic Elites follow Rule Set A, Everyone Else follow Rule Set B.

Hillary Clinton is NOT TRUSTWORTHY and this should be the focus of the attack on her; she is claiming experience as a leader but she is hidding her experience as first lady in the white house by not cooperating in releasing her records; she is campaning as a pro-blue collar while she delaying the release of her tax returns that will show that most of her fortune comes from lobbyists running with her on the campaign trail and while her White House records will show that she was pro-NAFTA until the beginning of this campaign; she is claiming to be a victim while she is the agressor with her campaign of lies, mistatements and fear.

It is time for Obama to step down, it is obvious he is a fad, like the hula hoop.

Hillary Clinton has the expertise, knowledge and intellect to run the USA.

For years Bill Clinton has disrespected and betrayed his wife by his actions. Now we are to believe him when he campaigns for her. Truly his actions have spoken louder than his words.

Doesn't anyone else notice the irony of this?

I just heard that the Archivist blocked the release of the Clinton Pardons!

SHE SHOULD NOT LEAVE — HILLARY CANNOT RUN HER OWN CAMP!

I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT OBAMA IS LETTING THIS WOMAN GO — HE SHOULD STAND UP FOR HER!

I think this is a wise decision , because Obama is an honest man and his campaign is built upon respect and honesty.
So we do not want any distraction from our goal to reach the white house.
thanks

What's good for the goose should be good for the gander…Hillary, you need to ask Wolfson to resign

Yesterday Rezko trial opening statement used Sen. Obama name twice.
Rezko trial will bring lot of good stuff for Obama and he will resign.

Clinton's turn! When is Wolfson going to resign?

Here, you see the biggest distinction between Hillary and Obama.

Obama stands by his principles. Hillary has no principles.

Do you want the next President of the United States to have principles?

She shouldn't resign. If Hillary wanted civility she should've remained civil. That "Monster" comment isn't anywhere near the lies she's thrown at Sen. Obama-but at least the "Monster" comment is accurate. Why did CNN take money from the Clinton campaign and advertise for her campaign? Anyone notice her advertisement on the page? I thought news organizations were suppose to remain impartial? Hmmmm Anyway, if Hillary keeps playing the Republican game she will lose…even if she gets the nomination over Obama, she will lose to Sen. McCain. She knows this…It's all about the game-not the party-or America for that matter. Sad. And I was just becoming interested in politics…

Now Obama should follow her lead and quit that weird church that praises Lois Farakhan. Come on Obama quit that church instead of defending it !

I think the lady stated her opinion. Freedom of speech. Others may have the same opinion and just have not stated them.
As for the repubs- - In my opinion they are all morons- - following like sheep to the slaughter. You want four more years of bush? How's your tax cut? Hope it pays for 1 tank of gas! Better brush up on your chinese, they own us.

My god people…

..have we become so petty as to have some resign because they said something a 1st grader would say?

Soldiers and Saliors DIED to give us & protect our 1st Amendment. "PC" has run amuck and is disrespecting those service men who died to give us this right.

I'll exercise my 1st Amendment Right - Hillary is a MONSTER

Monster is too good for her. The C word is the only one that fits.

For all those nieve folks out there, in politics "resign" means she got fired. Senator Obama made the right decision.

oh then the want to cry over what Hillarys people said.
They lost last week and ever since then they have cryed over every little thing.Obama needs to grow up and be a man not cry baby.

What a stupid idiot this woman proved herself to be!! Very unprofessional!!

this is why barack is the better candidate. he simply surrounds himself with people that he can trust to make good decisions. she made a mistake and took the blame for it.

Why should she leave when 40% of the country is on record agreeing with her?

Immature adviser to an immature candidate. Do you think they dont speak this way away from the microphones? Obviously they do and its catching up to them…

Now that's REAL change we can believe in, ha ha!

Obama is playing the good guy role and letting those who surround him dish the dirt so he can keep up his appearance as being a "different" kind of politician. He isn't fooling anyone except for those desperate, poor sould who are looking for a savior. How sad.

HILLARY '08! YES WE WILL!!!

I really don't think she did the right thing. She should have stayed on, met with the press, and explained over and over and over why her statements were ACCURATE.

Oh well. I hope the good guy doesn't finish last.

TO: Samantha Power —
FROM: The Chagriner
RE: Proposal

Will you marry me?

We don't need any more haters in politics.Obama should fire his wife too,since she hates America.

The wrath of a women - but it takes one to know one

Are people realy splitting hairs over whether she resigned or was fired?Really?!?I am fine with people making criticisms…but that is ridiculous…He probably let her resign in or so that she could save face..that is how high industry and politics works people…please know your systems before you pick something so trivial to critique…I think this shows how serious Obama is about a postitive spirit…and Jim, Obama is pointing out weaknesses…not going negative…I have yet to hear a personal attack from him…so keep wishing for something to hit him on..this isnt it….

Now if only Obama will resign !

Hillary lovers here, "HAHA you stooped to our level."

Hillary isn't a monster, some of the schrill should pad feminists who lover her so much are.

It is too late. The cat is out of the bag. NO one is going to forget her horrible comments.

Show some spine! Geez, everytime Hillary asks you to emasculate yourself you jump right to it. You caved on Farakhan's endorsement, you caved on this, when will learn to stand up and say, "That's her opinion and I don't necessarily disagree." John McCain and Hillary Clinton are both willing to stick by their guns when the pressure is on, are you?

Ken Starr and Monster are two different characters. If someone try to make a similar case about Wolfson's remark and expect him to resign then they have google a bit more and find out who Ken Starr is.

It goes to show the mentality of the Obama campaign from the top down. I’m sure Samantha Power doesn’t fall far from the Obama tree.

This self-righteous idiot Powers has a professorship at Harvard and a Pulitzer Prize? Talk about affirmative action in practice. How dumb do you have to be to make statements such as hers in the midst of a tight campaign? What a moron.

The Obama campaign is always quick on the ball when it comes to these things, they respond fast and they get results.

This brings back the morale authority America needs to hold in the face of the World community. When Presidential candidates find it only the decent and the fair minded ones rise as world example tthen only normality in a world triumphs through the American democratic example.

So much for the empowerment of women from the Clinton camp. It's a really shame. We need strong smart women like Ms. Power in politics, she made a mistake in a moment of frustration and appologized to Sen Clinton and Obama. I don't understand why Sen. Clinton did not accept her appology.

Too bad, this was the only person telling the truth.
This is getting way too out of control!
Hillary just let go, put your Country first for a change.

I've been trying to find a place large enough where all of us Hillary Haters can throw a rally/party/convention.

Unfortunately, Canada is already occupied.

Now, Hillary should fired most her staff.

OBAMA TOLD HER TO CALL CLINTON A MONSTER.

GO HILLARY!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!

Power Scary

All you Hillary bashers will live to rue the day. Obama is a Chicago politician, and you ain't seen nothin' yet!

why is obama campaign allowing the clinton to set the tone of this campaign. every one is running with what ever hillary says. I consider
hillary clinton a divider , she is not playing fair so i think the obama campaign need to take page out of her book and go negative. you (obama) said that "i might be skinny but i am a fighter, well show your us that your are fighter. a devoted fan no matter what happens

Pleaase! Hillary and her staff are the biggest hypocrites I ever witnessed. They,ve been slinging dirt since the inception of this competition and all of a sudden their opponents have to také drastic steps when the truth is stated…off the record might I add? If she wins this primary she will NOT get my vote!

Some how or another I get the feeling that neither one of these two candidates take responsibility for their own actions. it's always someone elses fault. I got it it's a trait shared by all the losers in this country. Did I say losers, I meant Socialists Democrats.

He is a good man yes he is

Honestly whats the big deal, her statement was true, I agree she's pretty much acting like a monster. She basically wants people to bow down to her, she thinks that she can do whatever she wants. Changing rules, praising McCain, and oh yeah whining about everything from stolen caucus packets to getting the first question in a debate. Lets not forget how Hillary didnt completely denounce the comments or support of a supporter who said Obama's problem is that he's Black. Hillary is a the biggest whiner I've ever seen and always plays up to the double standard! She will do anything to win this election and thats moving more towards a fact everyday.

Com'on CNN,
post at least one of mine comments, they are all good

Read, what she said to Telegraph today before resignation: " I’d do anything he asked me to do. It’s not about working for the next President of the United States, it’s Obama. If he ran General Motors I’d be working for him and I don’t care about cars."

That's obsession, as all of you BO supporters obsessed with this guy.

I am glad he got rid of this overgrown groupie. She was obsessed with him, could not survive his loses, got all hysterical and lost control in what she was saying. Good deal!

Gary in CT: he did not have to fire her; she was not a paid staff member but an advisor.

Too bad; her comments were completely true. Monster and beyond.

This was his top foreign policy advisor… great can you imagine her calling Musharraf or Kim Jong-il a "monster" or looking at them and decrying "yuck!!" ? yeah that would go over well… sounds really diplomatic … They shouldnt have waited for her to resign they shoulda kicked her out right away…

Go Hillary! Go Girl!

He should have kept his word from Dec and actually taken a stance on something and fired her. Again he waffles and has her resign. He is such a weak candidate.

My 10-year-old neice told me she ahd a dream that Hillary grew 3 more heads…

Hillary is a monster. She's mean. This woman shouldn't have resigned. Everyone is thinking it anyways. I've never seen anyone as outrageous as Hillary and Bill Clinton. They are lower than low. I have been a very faithful democrat, but it will be extremely hard to vote for Hillary if she someone lies and schemes her way to the nomination. We need someone ethical in the White House, and there Hillary is at the bottom of the barrel as far as ethics are concerned.

Though Clinton is a Monster, I'm glad the Obama campaign took care of this. They are far more respectful and honorable in dealing with their opponent in this campaign than the disgusting Clintons. Let's see, FEAR MONGERS, HATE MONGERS, LIARS, HYPOCRITES, ELECTION FRUAD FELONS (see Paul Vs Clinton comming to a courthouse near you!). But a MONSTER!? how uncalled for.

Ms Power did the right thing. Mr. Wolfson…. we're WAITING!!!!!!!

I dont think "monster" is that bad.

I've said much worse.

A dictionary is needed Mercedes…Ken Star is a person…monster is a word — notice the different initial capitalization in the spelling?

I have a question.
Obama says he will speak with all countries, and provide a better vision on how to deal with friends and foe.

I see his advisers spoke with Canada.
Did anyone notice the result.
He lost Ohio and Texas,

I see his advisers spoke with the Scotts.
Did anyone notice the results.
His adviser has to resign over her comments.

NEW POLITICS. Change is in the air.

Yes we can Yes we can
Go Hillary

It is turning out to be that the Obama campaing is just the same ole, same ole.

Powers got it right! Billary will lie, cheat, deceive… She is a no good piece of garbage that will stop at nothing to fulfill her self gratification. What a shame, that one lousy piece of crap of a woman, can dash the hopes, dreams and aspirations of millions of working Americans. I pray for the day that something bad happens to her!!!

The entire Clinton campaign team needs to be fired including Hillary herself.

And so the rot begins.

CNN See the blog about Clinton from Trish. It goes to show how corrupt the Republican party is. I think that Hillary is very aware of this and what they are capable of. Does she care NO and they are right as a Obama supporter I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR CLINTON. I have seven children who will also be so disappointed if this happens they will also avoid the election. Poor Obama he has probably no idea how much corruption he is up against. He is for the people unlike the ambitious Hillary. She is all about winning at any cost.

Trish- you're obviously a Republican. Perhaps you should go voice your venom/opinion on Fox news!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!

OK, case closed. Now where is the apology and resignation from Wolfson about his comments and comparison of Obama to Starr? Surely the Clintons think he is a monster and probably call him worse names 'off the record'.

And I haven't forgot about those tax returns…

People on Clinton's side have resigned as well for saying things.
Don't let the clintons' turn this into something negative against Obama.But I'm sure CNN will do just that.
Don't let them fool you,they're just like FOX News.
She's gone so that's that.But the Clinton's will spin this as a pity party for her when we all know,even her supporters that she's gone negative many more times,and so has wolfson.

I don't know what Americans believe politics will be like if Obama reaches the White House. How can America's most educated also be America's most ignorant. Obama will not be able to accomplish anything without the nit and gritty. Think about the way you treat your children, will they do anything for you if you don't do anything for them? You can have as great of an oratory skill as you want, but your children are not going to fall for it. It's part of life. You have to give something to get something and sometimes, it is not honorable and sometimes it is dirty. I'd rather have a warrior than a bard in the white house.

On another note to this story, I think it's completely uncalled for. She sounds like a prepubescent child calling people monsters. She should be fired not for her comment, but because she can not handle a political campaign.

McCain and Huckabee compete honorably because it's not really a competition when Huckabee can not win.

Ignorance is bliss. Go Obama. Reality. Go Hillary.

Hey Trish, what about you dont pour your dirty words from your big mouth to nice peson. Watch yourself

Yeah…we want a democrate running this country again….

Obama should have fired her…where is his "leadership" on this??? HIs lack of action speaks clearly!

Unfortunate for her to go out this way. Right thing to do Obama camp!
Practice what you preach. And you did just that!

Now to that wolf in wolf`s clothing, Sir Howard "Kenneth Starr" Wolfson!!!!!!!
The Clinton camp have taken themselves down the gutter this time out!

Worse epithets than "monster" come to my mind for both Hillary and Bill Clinton. She has no business calling for the resignation of anyone on Obama's staff. Obama, paraphrasing Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" which Hillary Clinton is extremely familar with, I advise you to stand by your staff. They and sensible Americans will get you to the White House.

Power did soil his campaign. Hillary would have done the same to her people. You all know it. Let's move on. America, do you want a work horse in office, and I might add 2 work horses and notible humanitarian, or… work in progress leader? An eloquent speaker does not have the cridentials to run our great country. Wake up America,

Billary is a bipolar bully! No, Billary you are NOT intitled to the nomination! It is all about HER and not the voters or the country. She WILL loose to McCain and we will have another 4 years of a crusty out of touch ,old man and his war mogering. She sees Barack's potential and support so she figures this is another man's coat talis she can ride to meet HER agenda, the White House. She could claim her intitlement of the nomination and seal the deal with Barack as running mate. What an arrogant witch! She IS SCARY (cackle cackle)

Ms. Power speaks of Darfur, Rwanda, and the evils of genocide but then calls Hillary Clinton a monster? Wouldn’t one call people guilty of genocide monsters? With all the scholarly words, Ms. Power is muddled in her thinking about what is good and what is bad.

She should resign after making that comment. I wonder if the advisor that made the NAFTA statement to Canada will be fired also.

Why haven't they coverd THE TRUE STORY BEHIND NAFTA IN CANADA?????? It was Billary who really went to canda and said those thing to them not OBAMA! That came out in CANADA NEWS 3/06/2008. Is news media in the mob gang with the Clintons. Shut up and anybody that as question them.

I heard Samantha Power speak with great respect and admiration for Senator Clinton just a few weeks ago. It's remarkable that these regrettable negative comments off the record are getting such play, given how many mean-spirited lines and lies have come from the Clinton campaign about Obama. But I guess we can't expect Bill to offer his resignation from his wife's campaign.

That is a good move for Obama. This will tell people how obama does his own things.He mean what he says and he says what he means.Hillary is follow my word but not my action.

CNN OH! how you try to continue to show negativity towards the Obama campain. Let's see you cover the positive side of his campain. I am tired of you making Hillary look as though she is some kind o saint. Samantha is right she is a monster waiting in the mist. You just wait and see. She is trying to get into the white house first.

It's sad that she has to resign for basically telling it the way it is. Hillary has become a self serving monster. This is politics and it looks better for Obama that she is not part of the campaign.

This is a campaign of integrity. Period. Clinton cannot hold a candle to Obama and his supporters.

Too little, too late in my opinion. The damage is already done. Your camp is looking more petty and desperate with each day. When you lose Penn, you need to call it quits. The hype is over.

But Clinton is a MONSTER that will do or say ANYTHING to win…

She resigned. Obama did not fire her.

I do not think she should resign. The Clinton campaign wants her to because they know it will be a big loss for the Obama campaign. What she said was true and it was not a dirty name like it could have been.

Regardless who is a monster or who is a liar….
Anyone who posting comments, please make sure Caps Lock key is off. Show yourself as professional or you can pretend to be one.

Remeber, this an election, any candidate try to attack each other in many ways including personal attacks.

Regardlless who you are supporting for…. do more research before you post comment, use your brain….. unless you are a 5 year-old kid learning to comment…

This is free country, free speaks, free voices, and free opinion.
I do respect your opinion and it is up to you to respect mine.

Why did she resign for saying Hillary is a monster? That's the truth I personally can't stand Hillary because how she has ran her campaign. Why didn't the Hispanic activist resign in Texas after saying Obama had a downfall and that was because he was black. I truly will vote REPUBLICAN if Hillary gets this nomination. She's the only one that ran negative ads throughout this entire campaign now SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON.

Clinton IS a monster.

Professor Powers' comments might have been outlandish. However, I think that the next few months will continue uncovering Senator Clinton's ugly personality - now she's trying to have the Michigan and Florida voting count during the convention (because it now suits her), even though she had previously supported the party's decision about early primaries in those states.

Hillary's behavior continues to be unbelievable. It seems that only money (from her lobbying friends) has helped prop her up (and if she's elected, I fear that these groups will become stronger than ever)!

You people are off-base. HIllary is much more prepared than Obama to be the President and the media/you are so biased. See the stories that favor Obama make the first page and along with those that do not favor Hillary.

An observation from a Republican.

Glad to hear that this woman has resigned from the Obama campaign just as Sheheen did from the Clinton campaign. It's very telling that the Obama campaing talks about hope and postive messages and then there's something like this. John McCain wins in November.

This is why I love this man……Hillary could never have the character or integrity to do anything honorable because she's to busy endorsing McCain or trying to get on his ticket.

Trish, how could you have such venum? calling the senator a monster? these candidates are patriots and good people that have done a lot of good for the country and for others… I believe that having differences in opinions and debate is healthy but to call people names is unacceptable. perhaps your education or skew view of facts makes you react this way, it is sad… in the end this is an election about ideas that are good for the country! I'm glad this adviser resign and I think is depressing that the candidates have to go through this, but it is a part of the process.

What's the big deal? It's time someone called HRC out!

Obama '08!

And the Carl Rove and Ken Starr comments remain on the record?

I think she just told the true. Hillary is deplorable.

…by the way, she was NOT a PAID staffer - therefore it would be a bit har for Obama to actually fire her.

Your turn, Wolfson!

Was she renounced and rejected by the new politics of Hope?
Sounds like she's old school, guess she didn't "keep hope alive".
*itch is the new Black!
HILLARY 2008!

Power told the truth. Nobody wants to hear the truth unless they are the ones telling it. Wolfson must go too!! Obama you are going to have to get into the trenches with them if you entend to win. You can spend the millions with nothing to show for it. Nice guys to finish last. Remember Bush Mccain.

As a life long Democrat, 55 years old, I am sick at heart watching the Clinton's once again do damage to my party for their on selfish political gain. Have we not given enough to them and suffered enough because of them! For the sake of our party I implore Sen. Clinton to prove to me that she has the best interests of the party and the american people on her mind by with-drawing from the campaign now so we can prepare to beat McCain in November.

But she is a monster!!!

Wow, tossed his girl under the bus kind of quick. Shouldn't he have met with her without any preconceived ideas, gotten her side of the story and then checked with the world community before acting. This type of swift decisive unilateral action is what he seems to abhor .

She called a duck a duck. It was a slip up of her actual feelings. I admire Power for taking responsibility of her slip up. I don't think she should resign over it but.

Remember when Newt Gingrich's mom wispered in Connie Chung's ear? It was about Hillary too, wasn't it?

I suppose some people might think it's an admirable trait. If she does become president, I really really doubt other world leaders will admire it.

There's really nothing to apologize for in speaking the truth. The truth does hurt though.

you all are in the same party? heh……..

Senator Obama doesn't want to go negative like the Clinton campaign is more than will to. But that does not mean the media should not report on happenings like Rezko, "I haven't been really proud", and the Canadian NAFTA ordeal that turned out to be falsely focused on Obama rather than Clinton costing Obama votes in Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island. So where is the coverage of the Peter Paul election fraud case being successfully delayed until November after the elections will be over? This is a media responsibility to put it out there.

Look it up, PETERPAUL.COM. If the media won't report on it do your own research. This is just one of many cases the media should be reporting but chooses not to for whatever reasons. Clinton more than willing to throw the kitchen sink with the garbage disposal fully functioning. Obama does not want to bring up negative issues like this against Senator Clinton. Therefore, she has taken full advantage of it claiming to be the victim while attacking at the same time.

She just said what we all think anyway…

Monster is a nice term for our ex-first lady. I can think of a few others, but can't mention them here. I have watched over the last two weeks how the battle for the democratic nod is coming down to the established (big money corporate Bill Clinton owes) Democrats to the people's Democrat. The bvattle is proven by the amount of press Hillary has gotten over Barack over all the major networks in the last couple weeks and by the discussion of the Fl/Mich. debate. Also look at how long it is taking the caucus in Texas to come up with an otcome, please! All I know is that if Hillary comes out on top after her tricks and lies, John McCain will get my vote. Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

why apologize??? this monster has 2 heads, doesn't that qualify. it is like "35 years of experience" when clinton has 7 years of decision making ability—married to someone does not make them that person. If Jack Welch had a wife of 35 years could she run a company??? think not

The Clinton campaign is calling for the resignation of an Obama advisors - what a joke. Her advisors have equated the honorable Senator Obama to President Bush, and other republicans she feel did "worng" to her and Bill in the White House.
Hillary is crooked, corrupt, manipulative, back stabbing, and a poor example to little girls everywhere.
I would never want my daughter to see Hillary as an example of what is right.
She and Bill have done so much wrong. And here America is, welcoming their filth back.
Remember how we got President Bush in the first place.
We wanted a better image for America.
President Bush may have failed us with the war and the economy but, he is still a commited husband and father, and a loyal friend,
Not that I am a Bush supporter because I am not.
I just want to remind America of the things we said no to in 2000.

Its no worst then calling obama a terrorist and questioning his religion.

It would be terribly unfair to Obama to allow Florida or Michigan votes to count. Especially after they closed the doors early in those states they campaign preventing those people not to vote.

Instead of going after this woman for calling Hillary a monster… we should ask ourselves is Hillary behaving like a monster. No one in the mainstream media is reporting on how Hillary played the people of Ohio… It was someone from her campaign that called Canada and lied about it. This is dirty politics at its best!
Not only will I not vote for her, but I will also break away from the Democratic Party if she succeeds at steeling the nomination. I think Senator Obama and all his supporters should do the same… Let’s just run on the independent ticket. If they want a three man race all the way to the white house, so be it!!

This is a loss to the campaign. I hope she will continue to advise in an unofficial capacity. She is so brilliant, but this blunder was too big. Until this incident, the Obama campaign has attacked Clinton and challenged her on her positions, her record, and her lack of transparency- all valid and none personal. The Clinton campaign has repeatedly questioned his faith, his intellect, his trustworthiness, and has insulted his supporters by calling us cult members and teenagers who are too naive or uninformed to form a valid, rational opinion. All personal, all negative, all baseless. Let's end dirty Washington politics and move toward real change. Reform can't happen with Washington insiders in charge. It has to come from the bottom up. Obama can lead the way.

All of you are is what is wrong with are country… we fail to see the big picture and do not like to compromise… thats why we have such a high divorce rate!!!

I guess none of you really want to win the White House and turn our economy around and fix our country… you would rather bash each other and fight about nothing… while houses and jobs are being lost… gas is about to go to $4 a gallon…

This stuff is getting out of control… CNN continue to moderate all of this negative stuff!!!

Calling her a monster is an insult to monsters.

It appears clear by these posts who the real monsters are. You people need therapy.

Obama kept no promise. He still doesn't have the kahoonas to fire people that are doing him wrong in his campaign…how will he stand up to the people who are NOT supporting him if he is president? His inability to get rid of bad people in his campaign feels a little too much like Bush and his cronies…

Good move by the Obama campaign, but her comments were a bit overblown. She was discussing Clinton's effort to go negative with their "kitchen sink" smear campaign, and I think that is worth criticizing. Clinton's carpetbombing strategy is going to backfire on her (and possibly the Democratic Party since she's doing McCain's work for him). I don't know how you respond to this if you're Obama. If you try to keep and honest campaing going, you'll be accused of being soft. If you get in the mud with her, then you're "politics as usual". Good luck candidates…

Some of these people are too young to be advising anyone. Clinton has never been rude and is aware of comments that should never be made in public or even private-abit of sour grapes on Obama's side?

Actually Power is guilty of libel for calling her a monster because that is labeling her. Wolfson hasn't labeled Obama, Kenneth Starr. he said that his tactics are similar to those of Kenneth Starr if you read his statement carefully instead of believing in the spin the media puts on things. This was in response to Obama's attack on Hillary for her tax returns which is what Kenneth Starr did even though thewere available before years ago but has since gone into archives in the White House.

MONSTER MONSTER MONSTER! Aw, did you get your feelings hurt Sen. Clinton?

How quickly you Obama supporters forget that CLINTON asked for the Resignation of one of HER staffers when he attacked Obama personally.

Please don't go all high and mighty…..this is a race Neither candidate will will….it will go to the Superdelegates.

its also time for Hillary monster to quit, resign, she spoke so negative about Obama now I wonder why Bill Clinton had to have an affair outside his marriage, Hillary if you want to serve people join charity organizations, you're not fit for President, it's time for change and you belong to the past politics.

OBAMA 08

For all of the Hillary HATERS you know that if someone from Hillary's camp called Obama a monster you would be whining, after all that is what you do best. As for Obama he says he going negative because he can't debate her on the issues and his perfect person who is right on everything act is falling apart.

That's what happens when you raise your voice against the Billary machine. It's a free country, or is it ?

I truly believe that these Obama supporters do not have a clue. I can't believe that people actually listen to the BS that he preachers and people actually buy into what he is saying. It's like a cult. Hillary can far better run this country than Obama. How un-American it would be to elect someone like him to run the United States of America - what a disgrace to our country if he becomes our next president!

So she resigned…. big deal. As an unpaid advisor, she can stay at it in the background, all while Obama's campaign looks lily-white. It's called politics, folks, and the big O knows how to play with the best of them or he wouldn't be where he is, especially coming out of Illinois where dirty politics is an art form.

Let me make sure I understant this. She calls Hillary MONSTER. And now the press goes crazy!!!! Hillary is a Monster. Obama do not lay down to jokers!!!!! Bring her back. Man you have to start standing up for your staff and self. Do not be a punk.

“Obama will not reply upon some plan that he's crafted as a presidential candidate or a U.S. senator."

Who said that?

Now if only "Obama" will resign !!!!!

GO HILLARY 2008-2016

Don't you think that she was an advisor because she thinks the same way Obama thinks, wake up people, he just says he's a different kind of politician, yeah right! If you people are comfortable with Louis Farrekan, and Obama's other friend Rezko, a Syrian crook, your nuts.

This is an outrage. What? You can't say anything about poor pitiful me Hillary? Hillary sure can dish it out but once again watch it? Don't say anything about her. If this poor pitiful me continues I will never vote for a woman again Dem. or Republican. This is disgusting.

LOL - this Obama campaign does everything they can to please everybody. How is this going to work in the White House when he has to make a decision that will anger some people?

It had to be done. As an Obama supporter, Ms. Power's remark was unofficial and uncalled for. Even if Hillary may come across as a "monster" to her, as an educated and intelligent person, Ms. Powers should have known better. You see, Hillary-supporters, when you break rules (official and sometimes unofficial) there are consequences.

Ms. Powers tried to re-tract and apologized for her comments, but still was penalized. Florida and Michigan broke DNC rules and what are the consequences of their actions? Interesting enough, I have not heard Gov. of Florida or the Gov. of Michigan apologize for screwing up their primaries and disenfranchising there state voters.

I thought Obama was going to stay positive. He is your typical politician. There will be no CHANGE voting for him just the same old politics!

it was inappropriate to conduct herself in such a manner and thus the only way to reconcile her behavior was to resign. It was the best thing to do all around… however… since I'm not working for the campaign… Hillary IS a monster . It seems like she is working more for her name and connections, then she is for the American people. She said she was destined to become president… isn't that what kings and queens thought?

If you look at the comments so far, it just shows how the Obama supporters think. They are all like this "monster" lady. They will stop at nothing to attack Hillary. And Obama asked the press to dig up more dirt on Hillary so he wouldn't have to do it. America does not need people like Obama's and we definitely don't need him and Rezko and Farrakhan, etc.

Hillary is the only decent candidate in the democratic race. Let's just make her the nominee and get on with it. Go Hillary!

Read, what she said to Telegraph today before resignation: " I’d do anything he asked me to do. It’s not about working for the next President of the United States, it’s Obama. If he ran General Motors I’d be working for him and I don’t care about cars."

That's obsession, as all of you BO supporters obsessed with this guy.

I am glad he got rid of this overgrown groupie. She was obsessed with him, could not survive his loses, got all hysterical and lost control in what she was saying. Good deal!

Not to point out the obvious, but the sitting president *is* a Republican.

I do believe she did the right thing to resign and spare the Obama campaign the distraction that has resulted from her comments. There are many people, however, who not only find her comments to be a true reflection of how she feels but are also in agreement with the charachterization that Hillary is indeed a monster and would rather see the destruction of the Democratic party in her bid for power than a concession to Barack in a race she clearly will not win. Hillary's lust for power continues to frighten me and I am certainly prepared to vote McCain to prevent her from getting her power hungry hands on the white house.

Well, lets see Clintons come up to the plate! Fire the person who sent the photo of Obama to Druge. Fire the person that said it was Obama staff that spoke to Canada about NAFTA and it was a Clinton staffer, fire the person that made Obamas face darker on her website, fire the person who compared them to Ken Starr a name they contend is a sware word.ect ect ect. The box obama is in ,is that people say fight back, then when he does everyone stumps on him because it does not fit his message! He can't win for losing. A very sad day indeed when we trash the messenger of HOPE AND INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!

Excellent and respectable on her part. She did what apparently your campaign didn't "decide" to do on their own.

Funny, Hillary complains that there aren't enough women in politics …

However, the brains (ie. attack dogs) of her campaign are all men and she uses Bill's experience and connections as her own.

A smarter thing would have been for Hillary to accept her apology and ask that she stay because she more women are needed in politics.

Hillary has such a big ego, she will not let another women steal her spotlight. Maybe she's afraid that Power is Bill's type.

So if Obama is so "honest" and so "upstanding" then why are the details of his involvement with Rezko so cloudy? Seems like he just can't remember how his involvment evolved or what any of the details are!! Wow….double standards about people. Your knight in shining armor has some rust!!!! Squeak squeak!!

Hillary Clinton is a MONSTER and Liar. At one time I had a great deal of respect for her, but now NONE. If she become the democratic nominee, I and many of the life long democrats will not be voting in the upcoming election. PERIOD!!!

Obama couldn't fire her because she wasn't an employee. She was a volunteer. His campaign has taken the high road, once again. Something I'd like to see other campaigns do. We need to stop rewarding negative campaigning.

Obama's supports are the rudest, nastiest people I have EVER met. How can a man that is supposed to inspire hope and unity has instead inspired the most bitterest, nastiest, rudest, polarizing people. I used to think about voting for Obama in the general if he was the nominee, but his nasty supporters have really turned me off. McCain will be my choice now if Hillary is not the nominee.

I keep hearing in the press that a lot of people with lower education are the people that are voting for the clintons, but just because you didn't go to collage shouldn't mean that you are blind and deaf. Open your eyes and ears people, before it's to late.
kathy

I guess her calling Hillary a monster and that she'll stoop to anything is an innacurate description of Hillary…

Please. The woman was telling the truth!

Obama 08

I must say Samantha, you really do have the gift of understatement.

I agree with Power's comment she shouldn't resign over that, because she was telling the truth, that woman is power hungry who would do anything to it, yes Hillary is monster, ahah fire me!!! I use to have lots of respect for the Clintons, but not any more, because Hillary shows no respect for her fellow mate, she should take a look in the mirror, she will see the monster in her.

Let's get real she was asked to resign to save face for the BO camp. Regardless of which candidate you support let's remember these are politics and she had to leave. In my opinion, the Kenneth Starr remark was not a personal attack it was a comparison that is different from calling someone a monster. It was bad judgement on Samantha's part for allowing her emotions to take control; in these types of situations you have to keep your personal feelings out of the picture which is not demonstrated in some of these comments. A united party is not constantly bashing each other for their choice of candidate, nor bashing the candidates because they all have their flaws.

Obama has taken the high ground for most of this campaign. It may cost him the election, which is terrible.

Good, I am glad that she resigned. That was stupid! These kind of comments are what is going to keep us from winning in November. It cant go negative unless its about strictly politics and no personal attacks. Both candidates are heads over anyone the Republican party can offer. I am not saying that Hillary is a perfect person but neither is Obama. We should have respect for them and not allow them to be personally attacked by our own side. The republicans will do enough of that later.

Since she was an advisor , not a paid worker. Is she really fired or hidden in the background? Chicago style of politics!
