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!

Trish wrote:

"The Repulicans WILL TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE in 2009."

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!

Ha! Ha! Finally, Obama's camp is coming undone. Stressed are we??? Just imagine what would happen if they had to face McCain. Some (Obama and his camp) are simply not ready for the job. Rhetoric about HOPE and CHANGE will not do the job. It has been an eye opener for Obama to face up the REAL issues concerning leadership. He cannot even control his own people, what makes anybody think he can lead the U.S.

CLINTON 2008!!!

Samantha – sorry to see you go.

You made the right decision AND you said the right thing! So, don't fret too much. We all agree with what you said. But I think it was a good decision – differentiates the Obama campaign (where decent people like you take responsibility without fear) from the Billary campaign (a bunch of attack dogs with no principles whatsoever).

Good job!

She IS a monster.

I VOTED FOR OBAMA , IF SHE WINS I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN, BECAUSE SHE'S PLAYING NASTY. AND GOD DOESN'T LIKE NASTY.

She's a monster! We don't have anything to back the claim up but she's a monster! Could we be a little bit more melodramatic? Gimme a break.

But Clinton IS a monster.

The imploding has begun.

Mean comments are not "truth." I applaud Samantha Power for owning up to her comments, and accepting responsibility for them. That is how people should act, unlike so many politicians across the spectrum.

Hey, folks, this is the old "divide and conquer" gambit, i.e., getting the Democrats to fight among themselves.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE MEDIA MOGULS DRIVING THESE STORIES!!!!!!!!!

Calling Hillary Clinton a monster is an insult to monsters everywhere!!!

congrats obama, whether she resigned or was asked to, it was the right thing to do, I would suggest she also resign as a proffessor, I would'nt consider her competent to be teaching young students and offerring that kind of immaturity, unfortunately this is the same immaturity we see on the blogs by his supporters, lets try to clean it up, and follow obamas lead.

I have to agree, Hillary and Bill are two faced liars. Bill got away with doing indiscretions while in office where other Democrats and Republicans resigned for doing similar things. Ms Clinton doesn't have the experience she says and is claiming Bill experience as hers. Yes, she was the PRESIDENT when Bill was in office. He did what she said.

Seems to me there is some double standard in all this as Hillary's folks seem to be getting away with apologies, while Obama's folks resign?
While the Republicans are busy with image building, the Dems are still busy fighting each other, "kitchen sink" and all.
All this does no good for the Party, and Hillary should have shown greater responsibility than to go for a "scorched earth" with the red phone ad.
Is this kind of resort to mud slinging what Hillary's "experience" is all about?

Hillary's campaign is sending out an email saying - "Stand up to attack politics! Show Obama there is a price to pay". (of course the way you stand up is to give her more money to run attack ads).

Truth is... she said the comments "OFF RECORD". The writer used it as an opportunity to advance himself and sell some NEWSPAPERS.

Media... they are a MONSTER!

A Monster – the truth hurts sometimes, but its got to come out.

It sure seems like most of the people that support Obama support negative comments. Birds of a feather flock together.

Help me understand this. The Clintons can imply Obama is a lying Muslim (the picture) who is in cahoots with a criminal (Rezko), but they are outraged when Hillary is called a monster?! Now who's guzzling Kool Aid?

If the shoe fits, Hillary.

after reading some of these i think any one would be ashamed to admit they belonged to the democratic party. god help us if you do get control of the white house.

To those who accuse of Obama of going negative in his campaign. Have you NOT paid attention to Hillary's campaign so far? It's nothing but negative towards Barrack. She goes as far as commenting on her and McCain's experience and insulting Barack's. Supporting a Republican over fellow Democrat to win?! I used to be on the fence between Clinton and Barack but she's proven that winning for her is more important than the big picture (which is a win for the Democrats). Playing dirty only hurts the party in the end.

Agreeing with Carlo on this one. Hillary never has to take responsibility for what she says: Oh, the joy of priviledge. Gee, I'm glad I'm a white woman and don't have to worry about being responsible or polite. Great model for our daughters–not!

Finally a person that takes full responsibility for her own comments.
Good!
Hillary is not a monster. She is just another old politician playing the same Machiavelli rule of "the end justify the means".
That is why we no longer support her politics even if we agree with her overall ideas. These type of Clinton approach were everything goes cause many people to perceive them as monsters or evil, but lets remember they are just politicians with 35 years of bad habits.
We can not keep encouraging this type of negative politics.
This campaign against Obama is mainly based on what other people said and not on his own positions. As we know these are Clinton politic tactics trying to distract us of the real message for change.
Time for the Clintons to move over.

This is just Political retoric. The media loves it.

She wouldn't have been let go unless she was wrong!

Ask Hillary Clinton about Rwanda and what the Clinton administration did for this country. Hillary Clinton does not mention this in her foreign policy experience. Hillary Clinton was part of the Clinton Administration during Rwanda and the out come impacted human lives forever.

Hillary Clinton is a monster, she's doing reprehensible damage to the democratic party. Someone in the democratic party needs to take leadership and coalesce around a candidate before this race gets too ugly. It seems as though Hillary is running because she feels a sense of entitlement, not really because she actually cares about people.

Well, when you're the leader of a new kind of politics you have to uphold that appearance. Obama knew the state of American politics and he still chose to tie his hand behind his back and I commend him for that, but...the minute he unties his arm (when he goes negative) he is going to ruin his new kind of politics appeal, especially when you add the Rezko and NAFTA issues into the mix.

I wonder...was this attempt not to go negative a ploy to keep his tainted past from being an issue?

Yes she is a MONSTER!! What's wrong with telling the truth?! She has been much more then just a monster!! She has lots of nerves running for president with all the nasty secrets Billary has in their lives!! I wish someone could bring everything out and I know that after that she would not consider running again!! Get real Billary!!

i just like to say if obama become the nominie of our party then i will join republican party obama and his supporters realy scare me to death they act and talk likea criminal mafia oraganization

Read, what she said to Telegragh 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 you BO supporter, obsessed with this guy.

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

Other way around, what will happen? Obama supporters?

Trish, Think-FL –stop for a moment and ask yourself the ultimate question before you rant again-if Hillary is the nominee against McCain-would you really prefer McCain to Hillary? No guarantees who will be the nominee-but try to think rather than emote-is your purity more important than winning?

See now skeletons are tumbling down the cupboard.It is not an isolated incident.It shows the nature of the campaign and the mind set of people who run it.Gone are the lofty idealism,the holier than thou attitude and preaching from the pulpit.If you scrach deeper you may be surprised to find the true color.Democrats are in for a shock and then it will be too late to undo the damage.Wake up,you are in a stupor.

Seems like there is a difference in saying that Obama is behaving LIKE Kenneth Starr. BIG DIFFERENCE people. Wake up. Learn to argue. AND, Obama had nothing to do with the girl leaving. It was HER decision. SHE has integrity, not him.

When will Howard Wolfson, hate monger, be excused? Oh forgive me, Hillary can do anything she wants.

Shows the difference in calibre between Obama and Clinton camps. When an advisor makes a truthful comment from the Obama camp but it falls below expected standards the advisor resigns. In the Clinton camp they get applauded!

Roll on November and Obama v's McCain.

By the way have CNN taken into account on their delegate counter the 'finalised results from California yet? Clinton 203 and Obama 167.

Ok – now let's get the Clinton camp to respond in like. But you know they will not.
Another interesting tid-bit, when that information came out from the Canadian Gov't last week about Obama's staff NAFTA comments, look at who was visiting Bill Clinton at his home – a female conservative member of the Canadian Parliment.

A lot of us would love it if both Obama and Clinton themselves would admit they are both evil and back out. !!!

Samantha Power's comment is not comparable to Wolfson's. It was part of a long anti-Hillary tirade. Comparing someone to a politician is not evil. Comparing someone to Starr or McCain (which Obama has done) or even Bush is not the same as flat out calling someone a monster, because even in their most negative portrayals of Bush, that guy everyon loves to hate, no one came even close to calling him a monster.

So think through your anti-Hillary hatred and give credit to the Obama campaign because for once they have moved quickly to curtail yet another mistake by a deviant member of the campaign. They can't fire Michelle, but that Goolsbee guy should be fired too.

To Trish,

Monster Yeah sure.....But these monsters got America to the top in the 90's. Thease two are shrewd smart and intellingent .They will do anything to get things done right for America.

We desperately need such people, not honourable men like bush, mccain and huckabee.. These honourable men are too nice but will do a lousy job. Mark my words.

Obama comes thru!!!!

Now let's see Howard Wolfson resign for his remarks!!!

VOTE OBAMA '08

He is a true gentleman. I would rather he lose and keep his dignity than stoop to her level. He has never mentioned a hundred things he could about her, because he wants it to be about the issues and not them personally. Keep you head up Sen. Obama, many of us will support you win or lose.

Mark 8:36 says it better than I ever could. "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"

"Repulicans will take back the White House"? Trish are you feeling ok? In case you have been asleep for the past 8 miserable years, we are currently under the dictatorship of a "mosterous" rebublican. And alot of good that monkey-boy, W, has done huh? If McCain had a brain cell left, he would put as much distance between himself and Bush as possible. Getting endorsed by Bush was the undoing of his campaign. So do the Clinton-Obama coin toss, that's the only decision left in this election, lady.

why is NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE NAFTA AND THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN IM AT A LOSS HERE IM GONNA REGISTER AS AN INDEPNDENT TODAY....

Why don't candidates just come out and tell us when they fire someone? Barack Obama has made it plain that he will not personally attack Sen. Clinton. So if one of his staffers breaks the rule, he should just tell us that this is unacceptable and that he is removing the staffer from his team. When you screw up this badly, you get fired. Allowing Powers to "resign" does not disguise the fact that she was canned.

And good for you, Sen. Obama! You told us that such nastiness wouldn't be tolerated and you are a man of your word.

Say, Trish, we know why Rush Limbaugh and some GOP officials are encouraging you to vote for Hillary Clinton. They KNOW that John McCain cannot defeat Obama, but he can defeat clinton. So, rather than go head-to-head with Obama, they are trying to stack the deck by interfering in the Demcrat's process. Meanwhile they close most of their primaries, so that independants and Democrats cannot vote for their candidate. It's just the kind of slimey, underhanded and immoral behavior we've come to expect from the Grand Out-of-touch Party.

They did the right thing. Too bad you'd never see such grace from the Clinton machine.
Yet another example of good judgment.

Honorable Obama '08

So...she had to resign for speaking the truth.

However, Hillary who is running for the highest office in the USA can still be a candidate after

a. breaking campaign rules in Florida and Michigan
b. demeaning Senator Obama and his supporters with asenine
comments
c. disregarding the people who voted for her in the smaller states
d. not formally denouncing or rejecting her husbands comments that
reaked of racist overtones (she only regreted it )

How come she doesn't resign from the race. She is acting like a monster because she is not being handed the nomination on a silver platter. She is not getting her way. She has divided the party beyond repair. I don't think even Jesus Christ could lead me to vote for her. Forgive her yes...vote for her ....NO.

its all politics she said MONSTER so Obama will let her go so he could play the victim card come on people think out the box, ok with Obama the country will be worst than Bush you mark my word on that.

Powers is gone. But I agree with what she said about Clinton. The way Clinton campaigned to grab power is below the american standard. Will Wolfson resign for defaming Obama? Let's see.

Power greedy Hillary IS a monster. She consistently lies, cheats and will do almost anything to win. To me she is the bête noir par excellance.
Obama 08

Taxes, Remeber this- "Yes, Those without sin, cast the first stone". Mr. Wolfson from the Clintonites- "God don't like ulgy". Ken
Starr was just doing his job. I use to be a loyal Clintonite, but, in time
all will find, like I did, those stones will crush that loyality as it crushed mine.
This lady already stated that she will do anything to be the one and that surely take God word out of the picture. That frightens the living hell out of me like most of the world.

Obama has kept his word–finally a politician that you can trust.

Thank you.

The truth will set you free!

Couple of losses by Obama team and frailed nereves already. If this is bad, wait until McCain and republication start their dirty trick policies!
I thought the nation was charmed by the straight talks and no mud slinging of Obama.
Looks that nothing remains the same in heat of campaigns.

How much does this say about the weak Obama campaign. They caved to criticism of an advisor calling Hillary a "monster". Sound the PC police. The Hillary campaign called for her resignation as typical. However, Hillary's campaign proved a point. Obama would just fold in the general election. Politics is not about playing nice. There are going to be harsher words in November. If Obama gets the nomination, is he going to be strong enough to play with the the big dogs of the Republican party who will not sidestep and offend? This is a Democratic primary. Democrats are not going to very harsh against each other, no matter how much Obama wants to call Hillary a negative campaigner. This is bush league. What will Barack do when he enters the big leagues? We need a tough candidate, we need Hillary!

this woman should not have been on obama's campaign in the first place. it's surrounding himself with advisor's like this that worries me. we all know he is not experienced, but that doesn't have to matter IF you're great at knowing who to surround yourself with.

he's not. that's why without experience of his own he's not ready to become president.

this woman has made awful statements before. in 2002 she said the us should spend billions to send a military force into the middle east and force Israel to give the Palestinians what they want. Then, when she got attacked, she later tried to deal with it by calling them "weird." That's what you say if you don't want to apologize for your remarks, but also don't want to discuss them further.

Obama's hiring her in the first place shows terrible lack of judgment.

OR was she ASKED to leave????

CNN – CLINTON NEWS NETWORK..

CNN DOESNT GIVE FAIR COVERAGE...2 POSTS FOR THE MONSTER COMMENT, ONLY ONE FOR KEN STARR?

CNN HAS ENDORSED HILLARY CLINTON, AND ITS OBVIOUS...

HOWARD WOLFSON NEEDS TO GO!!

Wow, the truth hurts. Hillary is ruthless and calculating, actually not bad qualities for a wannabe president. Her whole campaign has been about survival at all costs, considering they did not foresee this Obama wave, and this huge fight for the DNC nomination. She has ONLY been negative, putting down Obama at any opportunity, and inherently saying that John Mccain is more qualified at this point, how low will Hillary stoop? Regardless of what anyone says, the nasty overtones, and negative politricks have been created by Hillary and Hillary alone. She should take a look at the GOP race, and see how poiticians run a campaign with grace and dignity.

Funny how when she stoops to low brow politics she's a survivor and a fighter, when he does something even slightly similar Obama's the negative one. Hillary is the ultimate spin doctor, and NO ONE has more skeletons in their closet than the Clintons. America needs change people, and Hillary is not it. She wins the DNC nomination and I will be voting for Mccain, at least he has integrity.

This can turn into a good thing for Obama. Obama can claim "I stayed positive" and that Wolfson "is going negative again"

BTW CNN can you please report how Obama has won Texas. I know SNL scared you into thinking you can't say good things about Obama or Hillary will mock you. But stop being such a big P and actually report the important news.

She didn't apologize to the people of Ohio for calling them "obsessed" Did she mean they are of evil spirits? Does her statement show the opinion the Obama team has of the american working people?

Mercedes, I recommend you for Power's open position. You are so right about Wolfson, but we'll have to be patience, Hillary will create her own demise, it's just a matter of time. There's still a lot of time left and the "trump" card hasn't been dealt and Hillary will be dealt the losing hand with no more "A"'s to play.

I respect Samantha Power's choice. Let your conscience be your guide.

Hillary '08

Name calling and personal attacks, that are irrelevant are not acceptable. To make a contrast between somone being called Ken Star and a monster and put the two in the same bucket it's ridiculous. And there is a difference between name calling and demanding that the truth be spoken. Sooner, or later Obama and his campaing will show its true colors.

She spoke her mind and did a good thing. Avoided Obama. He could have refused her resignation, but he is a man of clean politics!

As for Clinton, she'll say anything and do anything to get a vote. That's how much she missed the white house!
She doesn't seem to even care about how her tactics may hurt the party and her country, never mind caring about hurting her opponent

So many of you posting here today are clearly blinded by hatred and venom against Hillary Clinton. As far as I can tell she has done nothing to deserve such anger. If you and your boy Obama or McCain can't take the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen. From everything I have observed so far, all of them - Obama, Clinton, and McCain - have brought a civility to the political process that has not been seen since Ken Starr, Trent Lott, Dick Cheney and George Bush infected the system with their rabies. If they are worth their salt, both Obama and Hillary with fight for the nomination with as clever and powerful a strategy as would I expect them to apply in the defense of the United States of America and our interests abroad. Since when has politics in America been "tea time?" Grow up, those of you who spew only hatred and venom. Let the politicians ply their trade.

This is good because it wasn't in the spirit of the Obama campaign. Now can CNN report more on the NAFTA-gate, why aren't we hearing more about this like we heard when it was Obama.

Who wrote this article? There are a few typos that you would think would never occur in a professional publication such as cnn.com. The quote, “With deep regret, I am resigning from my role as an advisor the Obama campaign effective today," seems to be missing a word before "the Obama". Also in the beginning of the article they incorrectly spell "advisor".

Based on not just this comment but other language she has used, it sounds like Obama is all the better off without Samantha Power. She has a filthy mouth. Obama doesn't need someone like her around, even if she was only an unpaid adviser.

PLEASE ... Everyone – stop with this rediculous behavior and get to the issues. You need a galvanized democratic campaign to have a galvanized party across the country. If you find and weed out the non-team players, hopefully you will come up with a viable team that can possibly beat the Republicans. How can each candidate call each other unable to handle the heat when there is the possiblity they may need to support each other in the end! STOP ALREADY! (P.S. I am a registered Independent and at this rate, I may have to vote for John Edwards – which is who I wanted to begin with.)

After the mudslinging and innuendo Senator Clinton has chosen to engaged in recently , the term "Monster" fits!

Hillary's antics remind me more and more of "Omarosa" of celebrity apprentice........

I read all the comments that the Clinton supporters write and I am baffled that they don't see the very undemocratic tone Senator Clinton has adopted and it really makes me wonder why they have no problem with some of the republican like tactics that there candidate has embarked on. Like senator Obama said in his speech that the world is watching what we do here and we democrats should act as such. Building each other up and fair and decent play has been the hallmark of our party and playing in the mud is so not our style!

The reaction of those who support Obama's adivsor in this "monster" comment is wonderful in that it shows the true (mean) spirit of his supporters.

Hey I think that Obamas team has played far more gentlemanly in this case. A small slip up ...NO problem...A big slip up like Clinton winning....Big Problem....So go and vote out there for Obama.

Obama cult member resigns is what is should have read. Obama is nothing more than a Jim Jones or David Koresh. Everybody who supports this man has been brainwashed very much like scientologists are brainwashed.

Well, Hillary's testimony during the Rose billing records investigation showed she is a liar. Cattle futures etc showed she a crook as well. Then there's the FBI files. "Monster" seemed a bit polite to me

That's an insult to all of the monsters out there.

Aha. Now we see the true colors of Barack Hussein Obama who promises a change but get plagiarism, tells our neighbor that he really doesn't mean it and the becoming negative just like other Washington politicians.

Change we can believe..wink wink wink.

Why resign Samantha? You said the truth; those are the feelings amongst Obama's campaign advisors about Clinton. You are great spokesperson. Obama pretends to be this angelic politician that would rid Washington of politics as usual. Lie! Lie! How can you now claimed to be against the institutions that had made you rich. Your records in Illinois speak different from your pretentious statements.

Good, now Howard the wolf should take the door as well. Hillary demands standards but keep stanzas? This is the more reason Obama or McCain(if not of the war)should and MUST be president of the United States. People we can respect to keep their words. Hillary wants to destroy her own own party in order to get nominated.

1. When Obama loses he keeps his cool when Hillary loses hell breaks loose

2. When rules are made Obama respect but when rules dont favor Hillary she whines and whines and cry

3. When Obama faulters he apologises when Hillary is caught in a mess she blames someone else( the press, right-wing conspiracy, Obama campaign,G.Bush, Republicans ..........)

4.Hillary fans get it right, Hillary will not and CANNOT be President.Another humble woman will but not egormaniac Hillary

Power is one of the most brilliant women of our generation. She has the sexiest brain ever...

It pains me to see her go; this call for Obama to fire her could have been a great platform for turning Hillary's disgustingly negative campaign strategy back at her. If only the American people could live off the mud she's slinging.

Lets hope that voters choose the candidate who takes the high road when they choose. To the comment that Obama weent negative, bull. One of advisers made an ill advised statement and is gone. How is that Obama going negative. Now how about Hillary's advisers and workers? The way she is running her campaign, it appears as if she does not get the nomination, she wants to make sure that Obama loses in November. The Clintons are real old style party boss politicians. Those who say she is a fighter are correct, and that is the problem. If she wins we will have all the partician fighting continuing in DC and nothing will get done and the blame will be thrown around.

Read the article. He did not fire her, she quit. Therefore, he didn't keep his word because he didn't fire her, she quit.

The Obama Campaign is totaly right. It's need to show all truth about the Clintons without any fear. Hillary is dirty playing all time. Just idiots and fanatics of the Clintons don't see big liars that are the Clintons. Why don't show Hillary your tax returns late? I never would vote for Clintons same if Obama for vice. Shame on you, Hillary!

Go Obama!!!!

Too bad people must resign simply for telling the truth.

I agree with Trish, "Hill-dog" is much more than a monster. With all the shady Clinton history, how on earth are we as a nation even considering putting "them" back in the White House? Amazing.

I'd like to see the Clinton Campaign play by the same rules and Wolfson resign, but that won't happen. The CC is the epitome of hypocrisy. It's disgusting what she is saying, all but endorsing McCain over Obama.

Character-qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity. All of the personality traits that Hillary Clinton does not have.

WILL YOU FIRE HOWARD WOLFSON NOW? NOPE! because you lack character. She will defend him. She will become the cowardly lion and crouch behind her husband and play victim. Why? Character.

PEOPLE SUPPORT OBAMA because of Character. This is how he handles his business. You screw up your out! That's called character.

Well, her testimony during the Rose billing records investigation showed she is a liar. Cattle futures etc showed she a crook as well. Then there's the FBI files. "Monster" seemed a bit polite to me.

It is being reported that Clinton camp called for her resignation in a conference call.

And once again, the personal strength and ethics of Barack Obama vindicate my switch from a life long Republican to Democrat. This is the type of politician I have been looking for. He sets the standard for the conduct of his campaign as he will set the standard for his administration ........... and sticks to it. No more Scooter Libby's, Brownie's, Rove's, Gonzoles', etc. How about the Clinton's? Any standards or personal ethics to be upheld there? I'm waiting.............

This is bad for Obama who must rely on advisors for military and foriegn policy knowledge since he has NONE!

Ha ha, we are loving it on this side of the aisle. I'm donating to the Organized Buisness Council and keeping this trash talk going!

Nobama cannot afford to go negative.
Whenever he does it will come back and bite him.
POWERS
If he speaks the truth, the truth will come back and bite him.
NAFTA and Canada.

He better stick to the speach he wrote in 2002 !!!!!

I bet this was orchestrated by Obama himself. Let one of his advisors put out a bogus comment about Clinton that voters will always have on their mind from now until Pennsylvania, then take a fall after the damage has been done. Wow, I wonder how much of Oprah's money she got?

So much for your clean campaign, Obama.

03-07-08 Well Sen. Obama I love your work and pray that you will win fthis election, but I don't like that you will not fight sen. Clinton back. not the same trash lie way that she does. YOU MUST ADDRESS HER when she misleads the American people because American people will not take the time to learn the truth. Please I pray that God w
ill give you the ability to fight back in a way that will be exceptibility
to God and stay true to your self. Why won;t you talk about white water or keep up that she needs to present her taxes return make them public like the other canidates. I don't get it? The adviser was right she told the truth Sen. Clinton is a Spoiled self entitle MONSTER she will do any thing to get back in the WHITE HOUSE!! sing voter Trystal Walker Black Female!!

hillary Clinton turned these elections into a despicable political game. If Clinton comes back, it will take the world back to the 90s and if McCain wins, it will be perceived as a continuation of Bush's politics. Americans abroad elected Obama because they understand it is necessary. If Obama wins, America wins.

Resign for telling the truth? Why?
Monster, Hypocrite (wanting the votes for FL/MI after agreeing in Oct not to recognize states who defied the DNC), Liar, Whiner...take your pick!

Why did she resign for speaking and telling the truth???????

Wolfson SHOULD also resign immediately for comparing Sen. Obama to Ken Starr!!!!!!

Shame on Hillary for the double standards they ALWAYS use because she thinks she is special!!!!

She is a MONSTER and a WITCH!!!!!!

Hillary and her camp should be ashamed of themselves for endorsing McCain at the same time she says that the democrats will be united. I hope the media wises up and starts telling her to drop out.

Thank you very much Ms. Power for all of your hard work during the past 14 months. You have done a remarkable job!!! Hold your head high and know that you spoke with integrity and truth - Hillary Clinton is a monster!!!

Obama '08 - the only candidate with truth and integrity within and on his team!!!

Way to go Sam Power. Kill two birds with one stone. You told the world the truth about Hillary and then you took the high road and put the ball back in Clintons court for her to get rid of her people that have been saying negative remarks about Barack. Now lets see what HIllary has to say about this since she was so quick to say that Powers should be fired.

She deserved to resign but Obama gets no credit because he did not fire her like he should have.

Contrary to what a lot of Obama fanaticals are saying, those words were unprofessional and childish and have no business is Obama's campaign of "change". Hypocracy of the highest order.

Obama should have fired her on the spot. He didn't which proves he is all rhetoric.

It is really a sad day when a brilliant and capable woman like Professor Power has to resign over something silly like this. It's America's loss that Sam Power has been shoved out by the ugly forces of this campaign.

Great idea there Trish. Do you really think another four years of Republicans is a good idea for this country. I think I know of another two-faced,liar,hypocrite, monster. Plus with mine you can ad ignorant war mongering infant. I'll give you a hint, he laughs like an idiot, can't string a sentence together and live in a big white house! Obama 08. For a politician, he's not that bad!!!

Samanta Powers made a bunch of controversial remarks on Israel. Barack made a mistake in keeping her around so long. Soon it will all come too.

Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the best candidate that America has ever known.

And the French that I hope with all his heart the victory of this great lady

Horray for Hillary! – Another Victory! GO GIRL GO

THE WAY THE WORLD IS TODAY MONSTER SEEMS LIKE A LIGHT WEIGHT WORD. COMPARED TO WHAT SHOULD COULD HAVE SAID. IT DOES AMAZE ME THAT CLINTON HAS WON OHIO. WHAT HAS SHE DONE FOR NEW YORK WHEN IT COMES TO JOBS. ACCORDDING TO TIM RUSSERT JOBS WERE LOST.

She deserved to resign by Obama gets no credit because he did not fire her like she should have.

Contrary to what a lot of Obama fanaticals are saying, those words were unprofessional and childish and have no business is Obama's campaign of "change". Hypocracy of the highest order.

Obama should have fired her on the spot. He didn't which proves he is all rhetoric.

Wolfson did not call him a monster.

The comparison to Starr was due pushing for tax returns this early. Tax date is 4/15/08 not 02/08.

Obama did not release his until April last year so why is he in such a rush this year?

Clinton's always release around mid April in you do your homework and check the facts and history.

She shouldnt have to resign. Hillary Clinton isnt a monster she's OUT RIGHT EVIL........................................Obama needs to call her out.
Clinton is dividing the house and idiots continue to support her.

Another "bone-headed" mistake from the Obamanation.

Too bad everything she said is true, you just can't say that because truth is not welcome with the Clinton.

Monster = one who deviates from normal or acceptable behavior or character

Another thought -what happened to HC's White House logs – you can be sure that if they backed up HC's bogus claim to "experience" they would have been out there long ago – - – plus where are her tax returns – from the beginning of this Clinton farce – in 1992 one word dec=scribes the pair of them: TAWDRY.

Do I have to apoligize for my actions with Larry Sinclair?

I agree with Think-FL's comments. As a newspaper reporter, I covered the Clintons while they were in Arkansas. I have continued to watch them closely. My impression - they will do whatever it takes, with no respect for the truth, their friends, their party, or the good of their state or country.

On a personal level, I think they are sick people who need help. They are more pitiful than monstrous. Many Democrats would just like to see them out of politics, which is a source of strength for Obama.

Let's fall behind a better leader. We have to end the Clinton/Bush brand of politics in America. OBAMA 08

Obama supporters do not be so full of hate and let monsters out of your systems.Desperates.

seems like there is a lot of negatuvuty and oldpolitics comingfrom obama's suppourters on this thread

Now it's Wolfson's turn to do the honorable thing and resign.

"Why wasn't she fired?" Don't be silly. Do you think she was not asked to step down? The Obama campaign recognizes that her contributions have been enormous. She messed up, but they allowed her to leave with dignity. That's what good and reasonble people do. They acknowledge the contributons as well as the mistakes and treat people- well- like people. This was handled as it should be. Senator Clinton could learn something about treating all people-even those who disagree with you- with respect.

Thank you Obama camp for doing what is right. Barack Obama is a man of his word, unlike Bush who continues to deny his administration has done anything wrong, pardoned Scooter Libby, ignored that Uncle Cheney had secret energy meetings and has yet to denounce or reject the idea that the Iraq war was completely wrong.

It is really great to see a potential presidential candidate stick to his campaign's message. Thank you Barack Obama!

Go Obama '08

Wow! Listen to these people!

"Hillary Clinton IS A MONSTER! Actually she's a TWO FACED, LIAR, HYPOCRITE MONSTER! So, just calling her MONSTER is TOO NICE.

Look at how she treated her opponent from the start, yelling & screaming, belittling, lying about NAFTA so she could win in OHIO, crying, telling people she'd rather side with McCain than Obama, and democrats have the nerve to accuse Republicans as nasty."

I don't think that the Clinton haters can even hear themselves anymore. This is why I won't have any trouble supporting Hillary if she is the eventual nominee. She wasn't my first choice. But the Republicans have simply succumbed to an astonishing form of mental illness that makes them incapable of rational thought.

Wonderfully insightful!
Maybe now all you Obama fanatics can see the campaign for what its always been.
Long on Style....
Short on Substance....
Grandiose in Oratory...
Devoid of Depth.....
Contemptuous of anyone except the all important SELF......

A little HUMILITY would have gone a long way.....would have.
Anyway......
Better TOO LATE THAN NEVER.

Yep, another shining example of our society of hypocracy, where those who actually tell the truth are punished.

The Obama campaign and the Obama supporters are not hope mongers, they're hate mongers. You can see it on this blog and on their blog. All they do is go negative.

Why is personal attack from Clinton's camp is acceptable (which Hillary herself did many times in this campaign) , and a comment from UNPAID adviser from Obama's campaign is such a big deal?
By the way, I actually totally agree with Power's comments.

I am a Republican and wouldn't vote for H. Clinton if someone put a gun to my head and tried to force me to and I wouldn't likely vote for Obama either. But she is not a monster or even that bad a person.

That said, MUCH worse has been said of H. Clinton and much worse will be said about her in the coming months. I understand the need to reprimand someone for what was a thoughtless comment, but to have her leave is just silly. The comment wasn't anything compared to what I hear the woman called daily and I live in NYC!

They should not have canned her.

Wolfson didn't call Obama or anybody on his campaign staff any four letter words or anything like that. He made a comparison, but Power angrily screamed by stating that Obama lost Ohio because of Hillary. It was voters decision, and I am glad that they decided to pick Hillary. Wolfson is a good man, and should not resign. Please stop pouring dirt on Hillary and her campaign staff. Thank you.

Look at her. Who looks more like a monster? Look at those hatred. She looks like Mr. O's grandma in Kenya who was not happy with the Tue's result (it was reported yesterday). The same look as Mr. O.

I thought "off the record" meant it's off the record and isn't authorised for print....I guess that doesn't apply to Scotland...but regardless of that, the rethoric of fear the Clinton campaign is so cosy with is something you don't need a tenure at Harvard to be repelled by. The lady is right and not by far alone in her judgment. If I remember correctly, Carl Bernstein put it that Hillary has an inconvinient relationship with the truth. The man knew what he was talking about:)

Go OBAMA 08!

To clarify: The "Howard Dean Attack Machine" is the Republican machine that will be attacking Howard Dean for resisting counting the "votes" in Florida and Michigan.

Now, Clinton should do the honorable thing and have Howard Wolfson resign. Fair is fair right?

Now that this story is closed, can we please focuse on the fact that Hillary Clinton still refuses to release her tax returns (documents that will show the fortune she got from lobbyists) and that she still does'nt cooperate to release her White House records (documents that will show that most of her experience as first lady comes from meetings with lobbyists in the white house and eating cookies and drinking tea while visiting other countries).

However, it is true that Hillary Clintons and her pundits are political monsters who will stop to anything to win. Now Hillary Clintons and her pundits should resign for comparing Barack Obama to Ken Starr, for lying, for misleading, etc.

Obama is an honorable man. It is now clear that he doesn't tolerate indecency in his campaign, and will not tolerate it in his administration.

Hillary's staffers run wild and put down Obama at every turn. I wonder if HRC will stand on the same principles as Barack.

The problem with Americans nowadays is that, having gone for so long (how many years now with the Bush/Clinton dynasties?) through sleazy, win-at-all-costs politics, they cannot recognize honest, decent politicians even when they see one. I think that's what is happening now. Obama's new refreshing style is so foreign to them, so much that they consider him a FOREIGN. The fact that so many eager women being so caught up in this first-woman-president-ever fever and willing to nominate one AT ALL COSTS including breaking up the Democratic Party (that's what Hillary's price is, unfortunately). If the difference between the two camps highlighted by this resigning incident is not recognizable by Clinton supporters, nothing will. Obama just needs to be as dirty as Clinton. But does he have the will and guts to do that?

If you really want to know what kind of person Hillary Clinton is...

GOOGLE "HILLARY RAPE DEFENSE LAWYER"...

This is how she has treated her opponents... from day 1.

WHO CARES???? SHE'LL BE CALLED MUCH WORSE IF SHE WINS THE ELECTION AND DESERVE EVERY WORD OF IT. IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT GET AWAY FROM THE FIRE HILLARY. HOW JUVENILE!!!!

SAMANTHA POWER FOR PRESIDENT!

This is the difference between the candidates. Obama disciplines those who play dirty and negative..Clinton rewards them

I would seriously love to hear how Obama supporters justify the bittnerness and nastiness coming out of the Obama campaign - if he is supposed to change politics and be a new politician of hope, shouldn't his campaign hold itself to a high standard, or any standard. At least find a Harvard professor who does not drop the f-bomb in the international press.

Lots of newbie mistakes from the Obama camp. And get real- comparing a comment about Ken Starr with a monster?!!! This advisor was waaaay out of line. Between this and NAFTAgate, it seems that Obama can't control his advisors (or, as many of us have suspected, is it that "advisors" have been controlling Obama all along- just like good ole George W)...

Why is the "empress has no clothes on" moment politically unacceptable? In the dictionary, a "monster" is defined as an evil person who invokes horror or disgust. For a lot of us, that describes Mrs. Clinton for sure. No one should have to apologize for speaking the truth.

I can't believe I was stupid enough to have backed Hillary at one time. But, NO MORE! She IS a monster and I renounce and reject her! So will other democrats who wanted to proudly elect a president that would clean up after the Bush mess.

I would urge the so called "superdelegates" to renounce and reject Hillary as soon as possible before she completely ruins the chances for a democrat to be elected president in 2008.
Women should unite against Hillary Monster Clinton before she ruins the future chances of decent women in politics.

We must elect a president that will let us all be proud of our nation once again. We desperately need to get out of the gutter and we can't get there with Hillary who would rather support McCain. Her monster-like power trip needs to end.

I proudly support Barack Obama for President. He is the way out of the mess of the Clinton-Bush-McCain era.

Powers did the honorable thing, calling a candidate a "monster" and cussing during an interview is not how any top campaign official should conduct his or her self.

This ugliness is getting old. Senator Clinton is a strong and viable candidate and the unsavory comments on this page can only lead to further bad blood within the Democratic party.

Barack is always 1 large step above Hillary when it comes to ethics. This is so shocking ... not!

Samantha Power used to teach Politics at Harvard's Kennedy School. She's a very knowledgeable person about politics. It's unfortunate that she had to resign after calling Hillary Clinton a "Monster". I don't see anything wrong with that statement at all.

If Obama really wanted to make a statement he would have fired her in stead of letting her resign. He's weak and doesn't know how to play politics. I can lonly imagine if he were elected how poorly he would fare against the likes of Chavez or Putin.

I can only imagine 4 years of obama government , riddle with hipocrisy misguided loyalty to a man with no qualifications to becoming the next president of the US. To read the obama followers’ notes is scary. It’s like looking in to a fundamentalist church of kind.

The obama campaign has been showing its true colors. They are the ones showing the signs of desperation. Is this what we expect from obama’s presidency. At the first sign of adversity they show signs of desperation. It’s clear that obama and his followers are not on this for the best of the country, but to please their ego.

If you want a church go open one. You have no place trying to run the country.

CNN please do post my comment

If the Obama team behaves like idiots what do you expect of the supporters. Like father like buggers. Stick to the issues kids and play nice.

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.

The American Choice continues to be Hillary Clinton ! Neither Robt. Gibbs, Samantha Powers nor Obama come CLOSE to Hillary's Professionalism. Try that, with a little "Shorting Bread" y con Saliva !
You Bush Wackers!

Sen. Clinton has completely lost the little respect that I once had for her. There is no way on Earth that she would win the general election, but yet she continues on like a spoiled brat that has been denied candy before dinner. She is proving to the world that she is a liar, a hypocrite, selfish, power hungry, double standard having, person with no integrity at all. Powers has resigned for telling the truth, Hillary should drop out for all of the lies that she has put out about Obama.

My God, people.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I don't need to tear down HRC like this to prove it; that's the tone of their campaign, not ours. Allow HRC and her supporters to attempt to tear down Sen. Obama for her to win, we don't need to tear her down, we will build ours up.

Conservative talk radio is entertainment, not journalism. Those of you who quote it here as though it is fact are being duped. They make you believe them because they say the rest of the press lies. What a good way to get ratings. I don't care who you vote for, but look at those shows as you would a Jerry Springer episode. Interesting, but not based in realtiy.

Now lets see if Wolfson "resigns". He won't, trust me. Hillary is NEVER accountable for her actions, isn't that right CNN?

I second that!!

At least Obama is worthy of his word and I have not found a dishonest thing against him yet.

All Hillary's dishonest things are coming back to bite her in the -!

Hillary needs to follow her complaints and ravings! Hypocrite she is!

Is Obama campaign based on hate and negative feelings? Why do you spread this hate? It was a BIG mistake for a Harvard professor and a FOREIGN POLICY adviser to Sen. Obama to call his rival as a monster. Her comment hurts Obama campaign. Judgement for a president is important and finding a normal foreign policy adviser is also a judgement. Obama failed in this judgement. It's good to fail now as a candidate, not later as a President.

Resigning is the only honorable thing she's done in the campaign. However, I still feel that Obama should have fired her.

Thank God im not working for the Obama Campaign, I Wouldve been "asked to resign" day 1

GO OBAMA!

She is a monster. We dont need his campaign saying it. We as supporters and voters are thinking it and saying it. So take this advice, if you work for the campaign dont worry. What you are thinking dont say anything. We will say it for you! But Clinton to ask Obama to have her step down is just stupid. Her campaign puts so much stuff out there about Obama but hide it. At least she wasn't hiding it.

Obama does need to keep taking the high road since the main difference in the two candidates is method, not substance. The problem is that even questions from Obama concerning Clinton are deemed by her (and her campaign) as negative. Has Hillary C. become "She who must not be questioned" ?

Hillary Clinton IS a MONSTER. It's so sad that she would have to be the female who could possibly make history in this race. I'm disappointed that Ms. Power had to resign for telling the truth, although I do respect her decision to step down, not wanting to impart a negative light on Mr. Obama's campaign.

Your Dumb!!!! Typical Women Republican!

Obama, I will vote for you over and over again.
You are a decent guy. You did not disgrace your staff and did not waiver on your promise...I wish there were more of you in politics

I'm glad this is past Obama now. This will allow him to stay on message and continue to critisize Clinton for her failings.

Uh, folks, Powers was a "volunteer" and thus can't be fired.

The call for Hillary's tax records is nothing but a fishing expedition, ergo the comparison to K Starr if valid. Hillary's put up with this stuff for decades; the microscopes suddenly on Barack and he ain't looking so hot.. The campaign of "change" and "new ideas" is suddenly looking like the campaign of Mr Meltdown.

I love hillary! Lets see, if you needed surgery, would you prefer to go to a surgeon with experience or to one that is young, charismatic but inexperienced? Well, this country is in great need of surgery and Hillary is the only experienced candidate that can perform such task.

Hillary 2009.

Hillary haters... CHILL OUT! you sound frustrated and crazy.

While her words came back to hurt her this is not a nice game – on either side.
That is how it has been and that is how it will always be.
No candidate or their staff is going to change that factor and survive in the world of politics.
Not unless the whole game changes and regardless of Senator Obama's promises of change – well they are empty promises.

Damage control Mr. Obama...is this a new type of politics? or Wahsington politics? hmmmmmmm

"monster" comment is real close to being dead on

Billary it is now up to you to ask for the WOLF to resign right NOW. CNN (Clinton News Network) needs to make this a big issue and put pressure on the billary camp to do something right for the first time in her campaighn.

Have either she or Obama apologized to Ohio, for implying that they are moronic people who can't think? That would be nice to.

Obama continues to take the high road while Hillary continues to drag those helpless numbers of people who are so desperate to return to some sort of prosperity, they would vote for a Republican like her.

She said what a lot of voters are thinking. Hillary's advisors and paid staff are guilty of much worse.

I notice he didn't fire her like he said he would do if anyone on his staff did this crap. Typical lying politician.

How could she stay.

Hillary Clinton makes me think of Segolene Royal in our country.
Ambitious, too much to be honest.
And when it serves, using the fact to be a woman :weeping and scheming!Sometimes a bit hysterical.
So far from Angela Merkel, always calm and dignified.A real Leader.
Good luck Amercans!

I really can't stand The Clinton... Hilary who is chelsea real dad...Webster Hubbell maybe?/?

To those who comment that Obama's CAMPAIGN went negative, please go back to the article and read it. It says that Samantha Powers was an ADVISOR, not a PAID STAFFER. There is a big difference.

Barack Obama cannot be held responsible for the comments made by an advisor speaking in another country. He had no control over what came out of her mouth when she opened it. She alone holds responsibilty for what she said. She resigned, as she should of.

Case closed, end of story.

Hillary Clinton should run such a clean campaign, but that would be expecting way too much of a Clinton.

While I can understand that it is PC for her to resign – lets face it she was saying what a large percentage of the US population already knows about HC – and has had it reinforced by BC and HC over the last couple of weeks.

Hiliary Clinton IS A MONSTER!

WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND OPINION?
HILLARY HAS TURNED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO THE THIRD REICH (HILTERS GOVERNMENT) NOBODY CAN SPEAK THEIR MINDS WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING VERBALLY ATTACKED...

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY, HILLARY NEEDS TO BE KICKED OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.... SHES DEFINES EVERYTHING UNDEMOCRATIC

SHE IS A MONSTER

HILLARY CLINTON IS A MONSTER.

She wants to seat Michigan's delegates when Obama wasn't even on the ballot? She trumpeted news that Obama told Canada he wouldn't really revisit NAFTA, when it was she that did that, not Obama? She said she loses caucuses because they're over-run by radicals, that winning "red" states doesn't matter, and that Obama only won Georgia and Louisiana because he's black like Jesse Jackson? She whines constantly that she isn't treated fairly, harping that Saturday Night Live says so? Truth, justice, ethics and integrity seem to mean nothing to Hillary. I think the Obama campaign has shown amazing restraint.

LET'S FACE IT, SHE'S A MONSTER

There is no doubt that if the Clinton campaign keeps this up they may win the nomination, but the many Obama supporters will not only NOT vote for her in the fall, but many will vote for McCain in November. The Democrats will once again yank defeat out of the jaws of victory.

I feel sorry for her. I am sure she was a good person. Do you think Hillary will do the same? No way don't count on it, because she is.....

You start to wonder about Senator Obama's judgment in choosing people for his staff who make such comments to foreign press or governments.

This is in response to "GOOD" that wondered why Obama didn't fire her instead of her quitting. OMG! OBVIOUSLY she KNEW that she would be fired anyway because she KNOWS Obama's integrity. If the Clintons fired (or let them quit) all of their staff that put slanderous statement and pictures against Obama - NO ONE would be working for them! They have NO INTEGRITY – and their staff knows it!

What has happened to civility in this country? People feel it's okay to call other people dispicable names in public and that's it's okay to do so. This goes beyond just politics... it happens every day all over this country. People– for God's sake, try to treat others with a little decency and respect. What goes around comes around. How would YOU feel if people were calling you names or spreading lies about you in public? This is a sad state of affairs for our entire population in the U.S. Don't think this post if directed just at the Obama/Clinton issue above... it's about civility across our country. Is this how you want your children to grow up– thinking it's okay to treat others with absolutely no decency whatsoever. Anymore, it seems actions speak pretty poorly of the U. S.

This is probably the best thing. He needs to stay positive, they are doing politics the old way. Obama is all about change.

if it would not get out, she would not have to resign. She is a Harvard person...what is wrong with all those harvardians? Arrogant, nasty, using bad words, calling names.....Harvard should be ashamed of having people like these on board.

People tend to overuse strong words -then it does not have the impact.

Some people like Ken Starr. Now Powers needs to resign from Harvard. Her verbal attacts on a Presidential candidate are abhorent and reflect poorly on Harvard. She can't promote civility in international relations and then abandon them when it is convenient. It is discouraging that these are the people Obama surrounds himself with. He's just like Bush.

It is usually a courtesy to allow the campaign employee the option to step out of the arena before outright "firing." Of course this is something the Clinton side of the picture does not recognize; as they do not recognize truth versus false, right from wrong, or moral versus blatently immoral.

What a contrast there is in the professional attitude shown by this young lady; the "talking heads" could take some advise or mirror this behavior; let's face it America, is there going to be respect for Mrs. Clinton, should she finish as the Democratic Partys candidate, let alone, God Forbid, that she would be elected to the highest position of state....President? I think not.

Would the Secret Service "take a bullet for her?" I also think not, there has to be respect for the person before one risks their life for them.
A very sad situation here. What cost is enough, Hillary, for you to be the "Queen?"

It's a shame, but it had to be done. I hope she'll re-join the Obama administration after he wins in November.

THANK YOU BARACK. I KNOW THAT IT IS DIFFICULT AT TIMES TO LET STAFFERS/ADVISORS GO, EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE SPIRIT, IF NOT THE FACT OF A STATEMENT. HOWEVER, I APPLAUD OBAMA FOR DOING ALL THAT HE CAN TO KEEP HIS CAMPAIGN ON THE HIGH ROAD. HE IS SHOWING US THAT EVEN HE MUST SACRIFICE THOSE HE ADMIRES FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE PARTY. THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP AND BEING A "REAL" MAN, NOT A WANNA BE.

BARACK THE VOTE IN '08

HILLARY IS A SELFISH, CORRUPT OLD SCHOOL STYLE POLITICIAN. SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

OUT OUT BRIEF CANDLE!

HOORAY FOR OBAMA, A MAN OF TRUE INTEGRITY.

This takes sensativity too far in this country! Who cares if you say something mean, are you gonna call your mommy? Clinton must grow up!

I've caucus for Obama, even donated $500.00 to his campaign, because I thought he's the new deal. I was wrong!

I blame Senator Obama for this, no wonder majority of his supporters are nasty towards Hillary; his own foreign policy adviser is just as nasty as his supporters.

I choose Obama over Hillary last February 5, in spite of the fact I don't know much about him. It was my 16 years old son who convinced me to caucus for him. I've read so many blogs all over the internet, what I've read made me remorseful. The statement of Samantha Power have just confirmed my suspicion Obama is the wrong person.

My apologies to all Obama supporters, your nastiness disgust me, I will make amends in general election.

A sad day. Power is a brilliant person and she was only stating what most of the country believes anyway (Republicans and most Obama-supporters). If Hillary gets the nomination, I'm not voting in the General Election. Her campaign just disgusts me.

Samantha Power is a brilliant woman and I wish her the best. I believe she made the right decision, and I believe we can tell a lot about a campaign that keeps it's word and doesn't tolerate the politics of personal destruction.

I strongly believe the Clinton campaign should take note. In recent days, they've taken this campaign to depths that many of us have not seen in our lifetime. They have made comparisons to people that are absurd and ridiculous, they have stated on three occasions that McCain is a better candidate than Obama, and they have resorted to attempts at frightening the American people to gain votes, a tactic that worked for GWB in 2004 with disasterous results for all of us.

I commend Senator Obama for taking the high road on this one and for setting a tone for us all. It is a very sad day in this country when Hillary Clinton decides that if she can't win this nomination, she will destroy her opponent in the process. She has caused damage that will not be healed any time soon.

Clinton is a MONSTER that spreads hatred across the party. She should never be elected president. SHE WILL RUIN OUR COUNTRY the same way she ruins the party right now!!! She runs only for herself.

power actually looks like a monster

Again, Obama follows his principles and ideas with deeds. I doubt very much Hillary would have done the same with one of her top advisers. That's the big difference between the two candidates. ...........

I wish that Hillary would do us all a favor and resign. I thought that the antics of Karl Rove were the lowest but Hillary takes the prize. As a Democrat, if she is anywhere near the ticket, I will not vote for the first time in over 35 years.

I totally understand Power's frustration. When these campaigns started, I preferred Obama but had no real negative feelings about Hillary Clinton. But after the way she's run her campaign - well, I've called her a monster and worse. It's a shame that Obama will lose such a fantastic advisor. Can he bring her back in once he's won the nomination?

Apology and resignation accepted.

Now, it is time to focus on the real issue – who will be the best candidate to win the White House and lead our counry. My time, energy and money is on the "Yes We Can" candidate and not the "Yes I Can" one.

I hope America make the bold choice – Barack Obama the next President of the United States.

Actually she was a NONPAID advisor. She didn't need to be fired. But the lady is right. HRC will say stoop to anything to win. HRC is now aligning herself with McCain. I say HRC run as VP with McCain. Obama would trounce them both in November!

Obama 08'

now fire mark penn and wolfowitz for all their lies and decitful comments. She should have not been fired, what she said was true!

There couldn't be a clearer contrast of the two campaigns.

An Obama aid in an unguarded moment expressed her frustration. She immediately apologized, the campaign condemned the remark, and the aid went on to issue a formal apology the next day and resign.

The Clinton campaign repeatedly makes mud slinging and name calling a formal part of their campaign, while making empty gestures towards running a clean campaign. No apologies, only claims that "Obama deserved it" from official spokesmen.

Lets see if this get posted CNN

Obama IS A MONSTER! Actually he's a TWO FACED, LIAR, HYPOCRITE MONSTER! So, just calling him MONSTER is TOO NICE.

I have been literally on the fence between Clinton and Obama in this campaign. Honestly, I will be so relieved when Bush is out and one of these two is in that it makes relatively little difference to me. They each have admirable strengths and face genuinely daunting challenges. BUT I'm a huge Samantha Power admirer. The Clinton campaign has forced her out over an off the record remark. Minor matter to many, but one real issue is whether Obama has the details under the control and can get his vision to connect with the difficult realities. Power is a good example of someone who can provide what Obama needs plenty of. I'm on her side. After watching the Clinton campaign take Powers out, I can't help but feel less on her side and more on Obama's.

to "gary": I completely agree. He showed a lot of decency by letting her "resign", saving her the embarrasment of being fired.

Obama could have made a more respectable move buy firing her instead of her just quitting.

She IS A MONSTER

It's a shame that Power had to lose her position for saying the truth.

Can't argue with her point.

I read Rolands article. He is right when he says Obama might get knocked out. If he changes his fight plan and starts to fight Clinton's fight he will lose. Obama was able to win all of those states by not fighting Clinton's fight. He wanted to stay positive and it worked. He lost that edge when he started to go negative in Ohio with those nasty mailers. He spent a lot of money, but his message of attack was rejected because it goes against what he said he was going to do. Roland is really trying to convince the Media that they should allow Obama to fight nasty and not call him on not being consistent with his message of rage against politics as usual. I know Roland sees the light at the end of the tunnel, but Obama cannot make there if he goes negative.

I wish CNN would hire a Mexican-American analyst that supports Hillary. All of the Latinos you guys drag in there do not represent the majority of us. That was proven through out the SOUTH WEST contests. Let us have a voice and a platform. PLEASE.
STENGTH. POWER. DESTINY.
CHICANO. PEOPLE. CLINTON

Although I am on the Clinton Express, I believe that Samantha Power was guilty only of over-enthusiasm for her candidate.

I agree with Gary. She needed to go but he was kind enough to let her save some face by "resigning". Make no mistake about it. If she had not left on her own he would have publicly fired her.

I am an ardent Barack Obama supporter. All I know is that if this Hillary gets the nomination, and Obama doesn't run as an independent, then I will NOT hesitate to vote Mccain as President come November.

Talk about media double standard! Why didn't Cliton's advisor resign for his comment on Obama? Clinton is the one who play dirty politics, and never hold herself accountable!! Why can she just tell us what she is good for in stead of playing negative attack on Obama!

Will Hillary release Wolfson for his "Starr" comparison? If not, it will truly show Hillary's hypocrisy.

Now that she has resigned Obama supporters are calling for the Clinton camp to apologize for saying that Obama was engaging in Ken Starr like tactics. There is however a couple of differences:

1. Obama has been the one saying all along that he will run a different type of campaign, would not engage in name-calling, and would avoid personal attacks.

2. The comparison to Ken Starr was based on Obama talking about "land deals" and "personal finances" which were part of what Ken Starr was hounding the Clintons about.

3. The comment about Clinton was made about Hillary overall and was personal and was also an insult to the voters of Ohio while the Ken Starr reference was about a set of behaviors and actions and not about Obama as a whole.

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...

Although an unfortunate utterance. An apology would have been sufficient. It is primarily as a result of the behavior of Senator Clinton and her campaign staff and volunteers that the campaign has taken this nasty turn. I wonder if she even remembers saying repeatedly at a recent debate that she is "honored" to be in this campaign with Barak Obama. So let's get back to being honorable.

"Why wasn't she fired by Obama?"

First, you can't fired someone who was never hired as a paid staffer.

Secondly, Hillary didn't "fire" her husband after the racist comments he made.

Last but not least, WAY 2 GO OBAMA!!! Good to see someone who keeps their promises. Stay on the high ground, we got your back!!!!!

Just a note, I really wish the media would stop allowing Hillary to make or change the rules. How easy we forget she just lost 11 in a row, then wins Ohio and Obama's in trouble?????? How about No.

OBAMA 08'

LOL
It looks like Obama and his campaign are just like Hillary.
Is this the change Obama talks about? Rezko, NAFTAgate, Hope he can't deliver.
It's about time the MSM brings out the negative about Obama, and the SNL bit was priceless.

obviously she was fired! when a president's cabinet member resigns does any really believe they are resigning? Of course not, it means they were fired.

For all of you who are backing Obama and believing in his politics, why are you bashing Hillary Clinton. If you truly believe in him you would not fall into the politics that you say Hillary is in by name calling and bashing her.

Good grief who is she to call for someones firing maybe wolfson should be let go as well for the Ken star remark
There she is cozying up to john McCain ...how does that look for the democratic race in the fall!

heads are going to roll up here over NAFTAgate.CBC said last night
this is very serious for the Harper gov!
The Canadian Press said that Mr. Brodie PM Stephen Harpers chief of staff did more than talk about the budget. According to the news agency, he also told a group of CTV employees that the campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York had contacted the Canadian government and told it “not to worry” about her promise to reopen the trade agreement and that reporters in the room heard him
say the Clinton Camp told them *take the political talk with a grain of salt*!!
Unfortunately CNN chose not to make a big deal out of *this* on their headlines
they certainly did make a *big deal*out of it when it came to Obama
before the Ohio and Texas primaries!
Hmmm maybe she is a monster the way she wheels and deals

Clinton IS a monster... so they can call Obama "Ken Star" Like??? The Clinton's will do ANYTHING to get elected.

Pople of the country WAKE UP!!!

We must elect Obama.

This is just Political retoric. The media loves it.

Unfortunately, the truth is the truth. Hillary Clinton is showing herself to being a women obsessed with winning at NO cost. The party will suffer beacuse of this infighting, she should just give up and let the people's choice (Barak) fight on to become the President. Clinton is part of the same washington that has created too many problems in the world!

Okay, it appears as though politicians are politicians even if they claim not to be. Tensions run high when so much is at stake and a candidate can not always control what advisors or staff will say. I think this type of stuff just goes to prove that it is not possible to create a new type of politics. Human nature is human nature, people get hurt feelings, people say inappropriate things. If Christianity hasn't been able to prevent people from sinning, I doubt if Senator Obama can.

Oh, and by the way, I think there is a difference between the Ken Starr and monster comments. Ken Starr is after all just a person who demanded documents from the Clintons. A monster and the rest of the advisor's comments about Sen. Clinton were deeply personal and low.

I'm glad that Obama is running a campaign that still believes in an ethical campaign process. Obviously his competition has no ethics but at least we have a stand up guy who believes in his message and wants the best for this nation going for the Presidency. I think it is important to note that Samantha Powers even though she may be totally correct about Senator Clinton is doing the right thing by leaving the campaign. She will be missed but real change and a valid moral and ethical fight to the nomination is something we can all be proud of. You did good a good job Samantha and it is good to know that mistakes can happen and that we can learn from them and move on.

It's a shame Ms. Power made those statements, because I had watched her on The Charlie Rose show and I was happy she was an foreign policy advisor to the Obama campaign. It's just sad.

This obama adviser reportedly "resigned". lol! Okay, ill believe that when mike vick gets the "dog owner of the year" award. Come on people, this lady was FIRED by BARACK OBAMA! ANd rightfully so.

yay! that was a stupid thing to say. guess foreign policy continues to be an ish for senator obama.

trish, you dont know how wrong you are...your talking about obama, not hillary...

She NEVER worked for him... she was a VOLUNTEER... he never PAID her. Can't you guys READ ENGLISH... I hate when people make things out to be more than it its. She obviously went too far and they don't wanna hurt Obama's "good shepherd" image. I'm sorry, but I'd rather a monster in office than a "nice" "hopeful" "change" seeking president. Do you really think Iran's or North Korea's Presidents are gonna wanna listen to some fake preacher?... HA!

Voters should be aware that if Hilary won the nomination...
This is equal two a third term of the republican...many voters will rather vote for McCain than for Clinton...

I know she is trying to have Barack on her ticket to cool down the unhappiness that people have toward her...but it would not help...

The clintons are thinking too much for themselves...it is so evident...

You have got to be kidding me. The Clintons are worse than MONSTERS.

They are now lying, stealing, cheating their way through this election and Americans again are showing how dumb they are to support this power hungry couple.

Yes folks, they are just getting started.

Hillary Clinton could never Carry Samantha Power's notebook.

I am with you Samanatha, America's loss.

Hillary is not a monster and should not have been called one. Although her comments may have been what she felt at the time, this is politics and personal opinions should be put aside. Voters need to think about what is best for this country. But, if Obama wants to win this nomination, he cannot go negative. He has built his campaign on the "new politics" and therefore if he goes negative, he throws that theory out the door.
Hillary is going to put up a good fight all the way to the convention. She is going to work to seat Florida and Michigan delagates and she is going to push to het the highest number of delagates possible in Pennsylvania and the other states. Obama cannot give up and he cannot go negative.
People believe hat this is hurting the Democratic party... nonsense!
We have the media's attention, we have voters coming out in record numbers and we are going to win the White House.
Obama stay strong and Hillary stick to your determination!
May the best candidate win...or both!!!
Cameron

Rookies.

GAME OVER.

Hillary Clinton has proven she can win the big states that are the must wins for the Dems in November.

If you can't win in Ohio, you can't win the Presidency. In Ohio, Obama outspent Hillary 3 to 1 yet still won only 5 out of 88 counties in Ohio. Those counties with large black voting blocks, the only voting group that Obama won.

Obama is unelectable. It's time for him to exit the race.

Good move. The story should not be her–it should be Obama.

Hillary is a monster, she is the worst kind, she suffers from
MRS, MILLIES SYNDROME (COLOR PURPLE)
RINGING AY BELLS

i remember her saying if you can't stand the heat than get out of the kitchen, maybe she should take her own advice go obama

The damage is all ready done... this happened over a week ago and Obama let the news story break before handling the situation... how is the democratic party going to unite??? this is getting out of control… they have both lost control over their staff because of all of the negative remarks...

How convenient that Ms. Power has resigned before Obama had the chance to actually fire her. Doesn't change the fact that his campaign has back-peddled on his promise of "change" in politics. She should have been let go the very same day.

Obama/Rezko '08: "Change without experience"

Hillary IS a monster.

Wow- I am really impressed with the politics oh hope-or is it deparation?

All this nonsense is great for the Republicans. It won't just be the Presidency they win, it will be a significany # of House and Senate seats that they win also. With the Clinton sleaze and with Obama's inability to stand by his own stated principles, this party is showing what it is worth - nothing!!

The Democratic Party is dead! Long live the New Democratic Party.

To all the Clinton supports, WE did not make OBAMA out to be an angel. WE simply accept him as his is. People are saying we think he is an angel. NO ONE ever said that, so if you are going to blog, blog about the article. HE DID KEEP HIS WORD! She is no longer working for the camaign!

How sad. She is such a brilliant woman. I think her comment was right on target. Can't believe how the Clinton campaign can justify calling for anyones resignation after the tricks they pull. All that campaign has to do is lie and deny and the MSM drops negitive stories like a hot potato.

Too bad you are all falling for the power, money and corruption backing these cable networks. It's the people who will loose in the end.

WHY IS IT HILLARY IS A MONSTER WHEN SHE DOES THE SAME THING THAT BUSH DID TO MCCAIN LAST TIME HE RAN FOR PRES. IS BEING A MONSTER JUST A FEMALE THING? WHAT A SEXIST COMMENT BY TRISH. WASN;T IT THE BUSH GANG THAT HAD CINDY MCCAIN A DRUG ADDICT, SO WHAT'S A GOOD NAME FOR KARL ROVE, I CAN THINK OF SOME THAT AREN'T PRINTABLE, THAT WOULD APPLY TO ROVE ONLY. AND BY THE WAY THE REPUBLIFASCICON'S AREN'T GOING TO WIN, OBAMA WILL. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE

will Howard Wolfson resign? no. why? because the whole clinton camp would have to resign if they were held accountable for anything they said and did, including Hillary Clinton herself.

It is politics as usual.....and if Obama thinks he is going to change POLITICS as usual in Washington in four years he is DREAMING....and in 2012....the republicans will shoot to the citizens how he taunted he was going to bring change and no change happened.......I look forward to seeing that

HILLARY ALL THE WAY HILLARY 08

HILLARY CLINTON IS A NICE, KIND, STRONG AND SMART WOMAN WHO WILL GET THE JOB DONE. SHE HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE...SHE WILL COVER ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE..SHE WILL CHANGE OUR OIL DEPENDANT COUNTRY INTO A GREENER, SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL!! OBAMA IS A LIER WHO PREACHES ABOUT HOPE AND CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN BUT NEVER CARRIES OUT THE ACTIONS!!! WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WILL DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO!! TO ME, "YES WE CAN" SOUNDS LIKE "DRINK THE COOL AID!" GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HILLARY

Why do people keep asking why Obama didn't fire her? She wasn't a paid staffer as stated above. You can't fire someone if they aren't on your payroll.

obama.. please grow up.. we know you are new here... please take some rest at home...

these young people are just getting crazy on your speeches.. i always tell them not to listen to your speeches and get attracted. still.. you know crazy America... they listen to know knowingly you are not the right guy...

Senator Obama has been a man of his word. He has kept his campaign clean and honest.

Now on the other hand I think if Samatha Powers was on Hillary camp Bill would have reward her with a good time .

"YES WE CAN"

People are crazy. There's nothing about Hillary to make people hate her with such fervor. It's something that has been built up ever since the Republicans went after her because she was trying to develop a plan for universal health care when she was First Lady and they screamed that it would amount to communism.

Ever since then, the smearing has snowballed out of control. I have asked every person who has said something really harsh to me about Hillary exactly why they would say that – and not a single person has been able to give me a real reason why they hate her so much. Not one! It's like she's just the woman you love to hate.

None of the candidates are perfect and they all have their issues, but it's way beyond making sense to call Hillary "Monster," "B**ch," or any of the other insane names that have been mentioned. She's not THAT bad.

If you disagree with one of her policies, that's fine. If you don't like her character, that's fine. Don't vote for her. But why this intense hatred?!?!?

Bush is more deserving. There is a record you can point to that shows incompitance and dishonesty. I would like to hear some more names used for him instead.

To Good:

Last time I checked, you can't fire someone who has resigned. If she resigns first (a very respectable decision on her part) then it's not his fault he didn't fire her. It's also possible that he asked her to resign which is, again, a respectable way to leave.

I think several people are right saying that the "stooping" was dead on but the "monster" was uncalled for. But you have to ask yourselves... would we have heard about it if she didn't use the word monster? My sense is that the answer is no.

Hillary's not a monster – just a politician.

Speaking of politics, expect the "Howard Dean Attack Machine" to go into full swing immediately to try to force a change in policy in Florida and Michigan. The Right will ultimately be behind this because they badly want Clinton to take the nomination.

BTW, thanks, Hillary, for betraying the Democratic Party.

A honorable thing to do from an honorable campaign. Too bad the Clinton campaign wouldn't do the same thing. This is the difference between the two candidates. I guess "experience" taints honor.

Good – "She should have been fired by Obama. Why wasn't she?"

Whoever you are "Good"...you are an idiot. How would Obama fire her if she's not even paid by Obama? That's an idiotic comment. Power's comments may not have been the best words chosen but they are the truth!

Finally, we get a glimpse of the Obama campaign under pressure.

Ms. Powers gave the voters some insight into how ugly the Obama camp can get - after all she is (or was) one of his top advisers.

It will be interesting to see what other slips come out over the next two weeks from his camp.

You cannot have it both ways kids.

well she threw the kitchen sink at obama, this past week end, i remember when in the begining, she said they were mean to her because she was ahead, and i remember her saying if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, maybe she should take her own advice and get out.

I'm sorry but,
Hilliary Clinton IS AN "Omarosa" CLONE

It doesn't matter, Clinton won't stand a chance against Mcain if she is the nominee. Isn't she tired of the White House, she was already there for eight years for goodness sake. Give someone else a chance.

I think Obama supports just don't get it, how can you compare this woman's comments to that of Howard wolfsen. Some of you guys need to wake up, the comments was total uncalled for.

Samantha Power did the decent thing after making such indecent remarks.

Go Hillary! Yes she will!

Too bad-she was spot on.

How about Wolfson go for all the ridiculous comments he's made?

There are plenty of comments and names many of us have for
Obama but we will be nice and not stoop to that level.
But I will say monster isn't even close.

When the truth is truth you can no longer hold it back and evidently the truth was so strong in her it was worth the risk.

I only see a republican in Hilliary Clinton she is no true democrat.

It was definitely a personal attack to Hillary!!! And it is not tolerant! Why such a remark could come from the month of the person who has been very well educated? Why people hold the stronger hostility to Hillary just because of her long time experience in the politics? This kind of crap "Monster" should go away!

Sally, Texas

I'm so very sorry to see an HONEST person leave his campaign. She is only expressing the sentiments of more than half of the US, democrats and republicans.

I go back and forth about who I would support in the general, but I really don't think I can, in good conscience, vote for any ticket that has Clinton on it. It would behove Obama to take head of the repulsiveness of Clinton.

She and Bill (he was a family favorite) are dispicable. How can I trust that she will look out for me and my family when she constantly talks out of all sides of her head. At least with McCain, I know what I'm getting myself into and can prepare myself to deal for four more years.

But Clinton ridiculous. I really don't think that I could support her in November, I just really don't. I'm sorry that it has come to this because I really would like to see change, but at what cost???

I'm not willing to pay the price of another Clinton. If the DNC doesn't get behind Obama soon, we may as well just quit the race now b/c McCain has it in the bag. At least he'll tell that he's going to screw you instead of smiling to your face while her husband stabbs the American people in the back.

You Hillary Haters are so sad...I have some Kool Aid for you all! Are you thirsty?

Trish, be careful what you ask for. Yes Obama is going to be next to impossible to beat but Hillary will do absolutely anything (and i do mean anything) to win. Unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant people in this country who believe her crap because an older woman should be trusted. She spouts the same lies enough that they start to sound real. Personally I would rather have McCain win over Hillary and I am a very staunch environmentalist so that is saying alot. I have absolutely zero trust in her and I think her campaign has been a bigger disgrace to this country than the voting fraud that was pulled in Florida in 2004. Ask yourself how McCain is going to hold up under the Clinton campaigns constant lies and spin. I have a feeling he will not survive it physically and would expect him to just have a melt down at the microphone. The guy does have a temper deep down and it is on slow boil right now. If he has to go up against that scarred hag it will be turned on to full boil.

What she stated was the truth – maybe Senator Clinton will get rid of her million adviser for comparing Senator Obama to Ken Starr. But she want because she not above doing, saying anything to get her way. As much as I would not desire McCain for President – if Obama loses I hope he beats her hands down.

So when is Wolfson going to resign over calling Obama just like Ken Starr for demanding Clinton release her tax records? Let's see if Clinton is made of the same stuff as Obama. I bet she isn't.

I think it is time for Obama to step aside for the good of the Democratic Party. The premise of hope, change and a new kind of politics has proven to be a falsehood.

Powers on Iraq in an interview with the BBC: he may not withdraw troops from Iraq as promised because "he will not rely on some plan that he's crafted as a presidential candidate or a U.S. Senator".

Wow – not ready for the presidency. Step aside Obama.

Who threw the first punch here? Or was it the kitchen sink? Wolfson should resign as well... "Ken Star?" I'm surprised he would bring that up, since now we can all reflect on those tumultuous years. Hmmm....

By the way, why hasn't CNN reported that it was Clinton who went to the Canadians first? Why are we only seeing negative Obama news?

How can someone at such a high level of politics be so careless to use such words (calling the opponent a monster) when talking to a reporter?

Glad they jettisoned this idiot fast.

OBAMA 08

Looks like Obama knows how this game is played afterall.

There's no reason to resign !
was she lying ??

Good,

people in political camps never get fired, they are asked to resign.

this is getting out of control... they have both lost control over their staff and all of the negative comments... DNC needs to make a decision quickly before all hope is lost in taking the White House in November!!!

What is sad is that all of the negative comments on the blogs toward each candidate... how is the democratic party going to unite??? especially when everyone states that they are going to vote for McCain if Obama wins or if Clinton wins!!!

I think she acted like many Obama supporters on these blogs. They call Sen. Hillary Clinton by any names. Obama himself is responsible for such behavior of his supporters.
He should fire her. Where is his “high road” “clean” campaign?
By the way, calling person “monster” and compare somebody actions to Ken Starr are two different things.
CNN please post.

Good job Barack...no negativity !!...Hillary will jerk herself all by herself...no help needed.

– Zulu Nation for Obama !!!!

This has been such a ridiculous story! I mean she said something to someone OFF THE RECORD and it got published! I'm sure none of us are perfect and that we all say things we don't want published! This was just irresponsible journalism from the start, and unfortunate. But I find it funny how the media is so fickle! I mean all Hillary has to do is play the victim, point to an SNL skit and pout and the media backs off! The truth of the matter is that he's a good guy and hasn't done anything controversial to deserve negative attention from the media.

As a white woman, at the start of the primaries I would have been happy with either Obama or Clinton getting the nomination. But then HIllary started losing, desperation started to rear its ugly head and she got down and dirty! After that I knew that she was the wrong woman for the job. I don't want that kind of person in the White House! Everything negative has come from Hillary and from the media. I can't wait until this circus is over and I never have to hear HRC give another speech!

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

Tanya Harding a.k.a. Hillary Clinton should fire Wolfson!

I was not involved in politics during the Bill Clinton's presidency. I believe that it is none of my buisness what consenting adults do behind closed doors. I hated when Rush Limbaugh made fun of Chelsea Clinton's looks during her akward early teen years. I never looked at the details closer than that to understand where this hate for the Clintons came from. Now, after following the recent primary process closely, I think that I understand why people hate the Clintons and why people call them cold, calculating, liars.
I hate Rovian smear politics. I can no longer listen to President Bush because I don't believe a word out of his mouth. I cannot change the channel or station quick enough when I hear GWB's voice on TV or radio. It is now getting to the point that I can no longer stand to hear Hillary's voice either. I wish that Hillary would stop the Rovian smear politics.

I applaud Ms. Powers for taking the initiative to resign. It shows how much she respects Obama and the incredibly civil campaign he has been running despite some less-than-civil moments from his opponent for the Dem. nomination.

In the previous blog post on this issue, one of Clinton's supporters (NY rep Nita Lowey) was quoted as saying, "Personal attacks are not the way to convince voters that you're capable of being president of the United States." I just find it so incredibly ironic. Was it not just last week that we had to digest "SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!!!" with a visibly out-of-control-angry Sen. Clinton waving her accusatory finger like a parent scolding a child? I don't think anyone would believe that that was NOT a personal attack.

The hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign is disgusting me to no end. All of the Clinton supporters are trying to jump on Obama's case now for being supposedly "negative," but if they can distance themselves for just a moment, I think they'll see that there's a huge difference between questioning and negativity. It's a bigger difference than "reject" and "denounce"...

Wow! Some people still have some integrity. It's very honorable for Ms. Power to admit her mistake & step down. It's too bad all campaigns don't have people with such integrity!

The "monster" comment is disturbing, but it is acceptable. Everybody knows Hillary for her win-at-all-costs tactics.

The adviser should have called Hillary a -itch because that's exactly what she is in my opinion!!!!!!!!!! She spoke the truth–even if you can't say it on the record!!!!

Howard Wolfson needs to resign for his untruthful comments. Shame on the Clinton campaign!

I don't know why she resigned for speaking the truth. And he has been called and accused of much worst than Hillary. She is a monster and you have seen she will do anything to will, even sabotage the democratic chance of winning in November.

What's next for Samantha Powers? A political commentator at CNN, Fox and MSNBC? That's where Obama butt kissers go all the time, right?

I am sorry Samantha that you had to resign but Hillary Clinton indeed is a monster, both king and queen of monsters. Everything you said is 100% right and I hope you get a chance to read my comment. She went on about Nafter in Canada when she was behind it all, infact she is the devil's twin.

Seems to be ok for Clinton people to call names, not ok for Obama people. Clinton is a monster, republicans know that, Bill knows that,and the press knows that. Seems the old spin cycle is on again, lets talk issues and not play this silly game anymore.America depends on it.

The term "monster" is on the nicer end of the spectrum of words that accurately describe Senator Clinton. Samantha Power should get a medal for finally saying it.

its a shame that someone has to lose her job just for telling the truth. If i was clinton, i would consider this a compliment, compared to what the majority of the country thinks of her. All the clintons think about is themselves and they would anything to win this election.

Now that is honorable. I wonder when Senator Clinton will start holding her campaign staff to these same standards.

Good riddance! She'll probably reappear on Obama's cabinet if he wins the election, where she'll pull another boner.

The truth is coming out about Obama and his camp. They've been negative behind the scenes for weeks and blaming Clinton for their dirty tricks.

You! Obama people, go back to school. You have so much to learn in real life. This is a big guys club. No inexperience people allowed!!
To call someone a monster based on your emotion, not the fact is unacceptable. I can't believe they let this kind of woman teach kids at Harvard. So disappointed. She should go teach at community college, instead of Harvard. So sick of Obama and his people. Sick of them!!! period.

Democrats must not make the mistake of Handing Clinton the Ticket.
Doing so is equal to telling McCain welcome to white House and depoly more troops in Iraq.

So she called for the advisor's resignation. What about being call Ken Stark. Was that advisor let go. Since when does Hillary call the shots?

Per Obama himself, she should have been FIRED.

Sad to see her go. It was an unfortunate reminder that the momentum against changing old-style politics takes every diligence. Even when you speak the truth, it must be done kindly.

sorry she has to leave. Shouldn't the delegate count be reduced from 2025 needed for the nomination to 1872? Since the delegates in MI and FL don't count. I think this should be fair.

also A-Jad spoke with Iraq and was greeted with open arms! where is the outcry from Clinton and McCain on this. after all what are our service-people dying and fighting for? what were the preconditions for that meeting and should we the American people know this?

What? WE weren't all thinking that? I give her credit for having some guts. Has anyone ever been fired for all the things that senator Obama has been falsely accused of? They only thing that the Clintons say is "we never said that" yea right.

I am sure if the candidate is a man ,Obama advisor will never use this kind of comments if the running candidate i s a woman ,yes it is aceptable, shame to the women who does this kind of remarks,

Sad that people will never again remember her for winning a Pulitzer, but calling Hill a 'monster'.

But she was right to have left. Nasty name-calling should be left to the Republican party.

.
Obama is a phony,
Obama has not been subjected to any real degree of scrutiny by the press.
Obama is showing desperate now.

Vote for Hillary !!
.
.

At least when Obama's people get out of line, there are consequences to pay, I can't say the same for Hillary's camp.

RESIGNED??? Are you kidding me? This woman should have been promoted and given a raise for calling out the Clinton monster like that. Hillary is the Beast. Can't you say it engraved on her forehead?

All hail King George. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!

nice to see exactly what Obama supporters are really like. ugh.

I can only hope that on the sad chance Obama does end up getting elected, that he really is a lot better than his supporters are proving themselves to be, or it will be a very, very sad time for our country.

NEW POLLS

Washington Post poll shows Clinton up on McCain by 6% (showing she can clearly beat McCain in the general election)

New Pennsylvania poll shows Clinton up by 15% on Obama, about a 7 point increase for Clinton

New North Carolina poll shows Obama up by 4-5% on Clinton, about a 10 point increase by Clinton

Gov. Rendall saying "White men won't vote for an African American man."
No one screamed and made him go on tour and apologized.
He did quietly apologize and life goes on...
I could not believe that Clinton Machine wanted this woman out of Obama's camp after Bill was permitted to stay several times with financial settlemens as well and their political life went on...
I have know doubt being calling a "Monster" is nothing in comparison of having an adulterous spouse publicly exposed. She can forgive this we know and should ask for the adviser to return to Obama's camp.
Both candidates and their teams along with Mr. Dean need to go to a prayer breakfast with Bishop Jakes and Pastor Dr. Schuller with no media involved.

I think the the fracture took place on super2uesday
I let hind sight prove me right or wrong.
For a primary you can't play any obvious cards
Gender, Racial, Religious, without erasing the lines.

where is the story about the canadian memo from nafta that it was the clinton campaign that said those words

The damage is done.

This woman is an idiot. This is exactly the kind of polarizing mindset that the Democratic party DOES NOT need. When this woman insults Clinton she also insults every Democrat that supports her. She embodies what's wrong with the over zealous Obama campaign.

"MONSTER" is a bad word!!. I hope every parent has thought each one of us.

People use strong words left and right without thinking of impact, consequences.
Hillary is not a monster! She did not do anything so terrible. Saddam was a monster, tyrans and terrorists are monsters, murderers are monsters, torture is monstrous........
not her. People just cannot be civilized – how frustrating these elections are.....

hillary should fire howard wolfson for calling obama ken starr, period!!!

YES.......i do agrree with her comments. 100 percent right. go samantha... Hilary does look like a ...... comments about Obama's religion... If he says he is christian ,I suppose he is telling the truth...Give me a break Hillary . You have attended chuch service with him..did't you ? Clintons will do anything to get elected...

If she resigned for that, Howard Wolfson should resign for likening Obama to Ken Starr. Why isn't this being covered at all?

I have to agree with her comment regarding Hillary. Hillary is evil and a monster.

She's also disturbed. One minute, she's proud of OBama and the next minute, with her face distorted saying "SHAME ON YOU OBAMA, SHAME ON YOU"

GOOOOO HILLARY...OBAMA ONLY GIVES FALSE HOPES...HILLARY TAKES ACTION!!!

The lady should have received a medal for correctly diagnosing the opposition! What a sideshow this has become! And these people believe they are entitled and deserving of leading America?

How refreshing. You don't see anyone from Clinton's camp resigning over the Karl Rove and Ken Starr remarks– she is equating someone from her own party to a Republican. She only cares about herself!! OBAMA 08!

Hilary IS a monster...

A liar...

A manipulator....

...Feel free to add on....

Opportunistic bottom-feeder would more accurately describe both Clintons.
Craig

Why apologize? She is behaving like a republican and using deceitful tactics, lies, hypocrisy and fear to attack an honorable man . She is showing us why Washington is so corrupt and broken and why more than ever we need Obama. Furthermore, Hiliary cannot win in a general election. Republicans hate her and after how she's been behaving, I think Democrats will turn against her as well.

This is exactly how a campaign should be run. Whether she resigned on her own or was asked to still represents the tone of people who work for Senator Obama. When crossing the line, you admit and you rectify the matter. He wants his staff to stay within a certain decorum. She did the right thing. Since I just read the case documents regarding Clinton's involvement in the Peter Paul campaign donations lawsuit I really appreciate the integrity of Mr. Obama and the integrity he wishes his staff to keep.

Time to fire Wolfson!!!!

Wow...Obama supporters are really showing their true colors. Do and say anything to support your candidate. I'm sure that Obama would be very proud of you.
So...I guess Obama has pulled one over on you. He gets to sit on stage and tell everyone that he won't go negative (which he and his camp have been doing for a very long time) and then let all of his sheep do the negative talking for him. He really has manipulated his followers very well. That's the kind of guy I don't want for Pres....very sneaky he is.
Basically if he knew what some of you say about Hillary who is a very well respected Senator from the state of New York, he would get rid of you as a supporter of his campaign.

At least Hillary isn't afraid to speak her mind. She doesn't manipulate her supporters to do it for her.

Hey - it's too bad. Hillary is a monster. I thought that her comment was spot-on.

- Sammy
Boston, MA

I cannot believe all the rude comments about Senator Clinton. In a civil society there is no room for this type of discourse. It is sad that many of these harsh and unkind comments are driven to some extend by an underlying disdain for women in our society. I believe that the authors of the comments would be outraged if such comments were directed at Senator Obama.

That's a shame...I really admire her for her research done on, and the work she has done to bring awareness to, genocides around the world. I'm sure her expertise in foreign policy will be missed by the Obama camp.

While I agree what she said was incomprehensible, people WILL agree with what she said....Hillary has proven to show by her tactics in this campaign that she will win at any cost! Why wasn't her campaign manager called out for calling Obama "Kenneth Starr"..seems to me they are saying the same thing...But at least with his comment about Barack being like Kenneth Starr, he opened a HUGE can of worms that will benefit the Obama campaign....Good Luck Hillary and do me a favor....stop crying like a baby...next thing you'll whine about is the color of the nail polish for your $50.000 manicure!!!!! Oh do me another favor...say hello to John McCain for me..you know..the one you are helping to win the presidency...yea..that one...How was your phone call to Canada....see it worked in your favor!!!!! To bad Ohio and Texas got duped!!!! but don't worry, only time will tell!!!!

Once again, the Obama campaign shows its integrity. Why don't Clinton campaign members resign after analogizing Obama to Ken Starr. I don't know anyone who thinks that Clinton should keep her tax returns private. Yet when Obama asks her to reveal them, Clinton's top aides call him Ken Starr!

Calling a political candidate a flat out "monster" w/o knowing when to use the "off the record" is different than making an analogy of someone being similar to Ken Star in tactics of about asking for tax returns.

Now, Obama supporters, you need to understand how to play political battles. This 37 year old newbee named Ms. Power knows better. It was her employee who made the NAFTA gaffe, not Clinton, which helped Clinton win Ohio.

When Obama had 11 straight victories, you did not hear anybody from their camp call Obama is MONSTER. Totally uncalled for. She knows better than that.

If you can't take the heat, get your behind out of the kitchen.

the truth hurts doesn't it hillary is acting like a monster that would do anything to get back in the white house except release her tax, and white house papers showing all that 35 years of experience she has

Poor Hillary Clinton haters – SOUR GRAPES!!!!!

I agree that Wolfson should also resign for calling the Obama camp, Ken Starr .... where is the delicadeza of the Clinton camp?

Hillary Clinton has caused a pulitzer prize woman to lose her cool, I am sick of the Clinton lying campaign, wolfson should apologize for his Kenneth Starr remark, so many good people going down behind that monster

"Good"

People are offered to tender their resignations before being fired.
Twas better to resign than be fired.

She should have gotten a raise for understating the truth. Calling Billary a monster is almost a compliment.

Wolfson and the Hillary campaign seem to be attempting tie one hand behind Barack Obama's back we wont see Wolfson resigning over his belittling shameful disingenuous personal comments about Barack Obama

This resignation restates his positive position of change to politics and reaffirms Clintons tie to old style politics.

We want somthing better than the old style look where its taken the country.

Obama 08

HILLARY AND BILL ARE WORSE THEN MONSTERS. SHE IS A WHINING CANDIATE. I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO STAY HOME IN NOV. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL STAY HOME IF SHE IS THE CANDIATE

"She should have been fired by Obama. Why wasn't she?"

Perhaps you don't have a lot of experience with these matters. In the private sector, people get fired. In politics, people resign. The distinction in this case between being fired and resigning is academic.

It amazes me that people on this site cannot just disagree with each other's political idealogy they must resort to name calling. Name calling, especially by fellow Democrats, should be stopped; after all, if you are a true Democrat, you will support the eventual candidate.

NOW SHOULD I BE PROUD OF "AMERICA", CNN YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO AMERICA ALL I SEE ON YOUR BROADCAST IS THE CLINTONS AND THAT MOUSY DAUGHTER, A GROWN WOMAN WHO IS KEPT FROM THE MEDIA, WHAT A SHAME "28 YEARS OLD, AND CAN'T SPEAK UNTIL MA SAYS SO" HA, HA

Now I know why Barack hasn't gone negative until now. When he does, the height of sophistication is outstanding.

I wish Hillary would do something for her country and GIVE UP!

Look at this mess we're in now, all for her! All because she wants to be president and couldn't gracefully admit defeat. She's not just a monster, she's disgusting!

Why should she resign for telling the truth?...and for this "experience" thing...(Hillary's)..my doctor's wife is NOT doing my vastectomy !

Obama's camp asked legitimate questions: BILLARY, RELEASE YOUR TAX RETURNS!
But he got attacked by Bill Burton!

Can the Billary campaign ask Bill Burton to resign for comparing Obama to independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr?

OBAMA IS HONEST MAN, BILLARY IS A MONSTER!

VOTE OBAMA!!!

Clinton is a monster
period

By the way. If the worst possible scenario were to play out and "the Monster" won the nomination, Barack Obama should stay as far away from running on ticket with her as possible. First of all, it is old nasty politics with a "monster" and only on VP on a losing ticket ever went on to be president. FDR I don't like those odds for Mr. Obama.

SHE DOESN"T WANT TO WORK FOR AN INDECISIVE WIMP!

Resigned, I don't think this was done on her own. Why should she, after all Clinton has protected her staff at any cost. Regardless of the unethical campaign. Surely Clinton will now pursue Samantha, to gather more dirt. I think this was a mistake. Sometimes one must get down and dirty to win. Further more Samantha's statement was very true. Everyone knows Hillary has not bottom line.

She's the same professor who wrote a few years back that the US should invade Israel to protect the Palestinians!

Those comments were unacceptable and makes me question's Obama's sincerity about bring unity and a new kind of politics. That is what his campaign is based on yet he is not living up to that. I thought he was going to be different. I am disappointed.

Another one bites the dust!
OBamaCAMP is in Disarray! You can't spin his speeches into have been doing anything for the country over the years. Get a clue.

Hillary 2008!

Samantha Power has no reason to apologize for telling the truth. A Monster is as a Monster does!

This is the right thing to do, though unfortunate. Ms Powers remark was a huge gaff, but a human one in light of the false accusations and innuendos thrown by the Clinton campaugn in recent weeks. Until this point Powers has spoken of Senator Clinton respectfully. Ms. Powers used poor judgment in letting her personal views show here, but her voice and her insights in terms of policy have been highly valuable. I hope she will continue to advise in an unofficial capacity and stay away from the press.Now, Clinton has had multiple incidents in her campaign where Senator Obama's religion has been called into question, and he has been personally and unfairly attacked. Each time she has dismissed those in her campaign who are responsible, or so she says. My question then, is, why does it continue to happen over and over? Do her own people not even listen to her?

She shouldn't have gotten to resign she should have been fired and there is a difference. Is This the Kind of people that Obama will have working around him and in his company I guess so After working along side Obama for 14 months it looks like she would have know what to said but 14 months is not a lot of experience they much be slow learners and this is one more thing to show that Obama doesn't have enough experience to even surround himself with people that can watch what they say this is two of his advisers that have said things that were not acceptable . Can we trust him to do better in the future or do we even darn to take a chance on him and his advisor's. Obama is proving every day that he has a lot to learn and he is having to do a lot of retracting for his campaign adviser and himself.

What a wonderful gesture such that mirrors the integrity and respect for running a clean campaign by Barack Obama. Let’s move from silly season expressions and allow the American people vote only on the issues and for the candidate that will better care for our lives and the future of the U.S.

All of the negativity from the Clinton campaign is uncalled for, as Senator Obama has yet to incorporate such immature tactics in his own. Though Senator Clinton is an excellent candidate, her democratic rival has again proved that he is far superior to her, not simply from an ethical standpoint but from a personal one.

Fire Wolfson....The David Duke of Clinton tactics. I don't work for Obama so fire this.

How come she didn't get fired, people ask? That's how it happens in politics, just like Clinton's former campaign manager "resigned." That's code for "you're fired," so Obama did the right thing. Now, he needs to get his advisors in line so it doesn't happen anymore. I for one am tired of the negativity in this primary race.

Hillary Supporter – but I give Obama his respect for dealing with the problem right away.

You cannot fire somebody that is not a paid employee

Why don't Hillary's "Starr" people step down? Oh yeah, her campaign is not held to the same starndards as his, how could I forget.

Good move by Obama, I hope HRC will follow the lead of doing the right thing even when it hurts

Good now that is behind us. You think That Sen Clinton will divorce Bill after his comments in So. Caroloina??? That would be the most positive thing to have come from the Clinton Campaign in weeks.

Trish makes a valid point!!!! We all know that Hillary will lose against McCain. This can't happen people!!!!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!!

Dear Obama:

What are we going to do about Florida and Michigan? I bet the republicans are just sitting back and watching how the democrats self destroy. This is not about Obama or Hillary but about the America we love. If an agreement is not reached SOON between the Obama Camp and the Hillary Camp there is a huge chance we will again loose the election in November and this time leaving millions of new voters disillusioned and disappointed. You came into this race to uplift America and you have only achieved that in part. There is much work to be done and little time. You have not been able to close the deal… why? It does not take a PHD to know that half of the party (exactly ½) prefers Hillary and that is the reality.

The first order of business now is to get a solution to the problem and define who is the candidate. You will not survive three more months of back and forth with Hillary camp and be able to beat McCain. The first order business of the next president is to fix this election mess and make some sense out it and bring it back from the dark ages. SOME REAL OVERHAUL PLEASE!!!

To the Obama and Hillary camp please chill out and help to solve the situation with Michigan and Florida disenfranchised voters because of lousy leadership. We will all benefit from it and perhaps will have an outcome before the convention and have a chance at the General election. I voted for you Obama and I have serious doubt about your leadership because you can not continue to support the disenfranchisement of voters in America today. Besides understand that there are not enough votes to clinch the nomination without Florida and Michigan

I do agree with you Obama about the consequences on decisions that piece your argument, but what about the voters? The decision to have a primary that didn't count was not the will of the voters. The voters in Florida and Michigan deserve their voice to be heard just as much as any other citizen of the U.S. Why would you want to be a candidate for our party on flawed election without at least trying to count every vote? Why risk a legal battle later on (I guarantee one if you do not move quickly)

Good come back... He is building up. She has had her 3rd comeback, Obama has had 2. How about we wait for his 3rd?Its always a charm right! Get ready Hillary, you asked for it.

How 'bout calling for Bill Clinton's removal from Hillary's campaign for many, many offensive remarks he has made about Obama? And his reference to "fairy tales"?

THANK YOU CNN FOR PUTTING UP HER PICTURE. TO ME SHE IS THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER

Listen people this is an Outrage . Here's a campaign that have
litterally skirocketed the standard of clean objective campaigning, while fending off the worse , despicable, the most disgusting , fearmongering , racebaiting , dirty smear lying garbage TACTICS from the clinton campaign and none of them resigns. This honest vertuous person thinking she was off record saying something as mild as saying Hillary is a monster – the very least any smart person would say about her – be forced to resign by the clinton camp ... this is ... this is ... I'm just furious. I'll vote to reelect GW Bush before I vote for that ... Ugh!!

AND CNN !!!! PLEASE POST THIS ONE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW NOT EVERY ONE IS BLIND STUPID AND UNEDUCATED

Ah, I don't think so, Ken Starr is a person and it's based on your judgement whether he is a good or bad person, so calling Obama Ken Starr is not the same as calling Clinton a monster, but this is indicative of those who f ollow and support Obama, hate filled, vindictive, divisive people, yet he is supposed to be a candidate of unity and change. It's a joke!!

SHE IS A MONSTER..well at least she looks like one.

Its really sad when someone has to resign over a comment that isn't that bad. Hillary Clinton is a monster, stooping to seemingly any possible level to achieve victory. Really, any person that thinks hope is bad really isn't what America needs. Our country was founded on hope and ideals, something I think she has lost sight of.

But I think its time for Obama to stop pulling punches on Clinton, if she really wants to fight lets see who's got the bigger bite. Really thats all American politics has come down to anymore, its pathetic and as a young voter I think it shouldn't be the norm. However, you can't take a punch and not fight back, thats just not a way to win against a cheap person.

This is ridiculous. The so called journalist that reported this when she said the comment was off record should be fired or resign from his paper. How will people ever respect him again. Why is this an issue? There are a lot of monsters in this campaign. andIf you look at the posts on cnn there are a lot of monsters include racists in the monster category.

Some of you people are so bias'd you sound ignorant.

Obama has also lied. Let us not forget the NAFTA debacle where it was proven one of his campaign advisors did meet with Canada even after they said he didn't.

Obama is just another politician, he may possibly be an even better one than Clinton because he is still able to bring in these supporters after his holier than thou cover has been blown.

She wasn't fire. She resigned. It was a smart move on her part to help the Obama campaign, altho the damage has already been done.

Obama has been negative for quite a while now. Let us not forget that he's been saying (Clintons will do anything to get to the white house) for months now. This is negative campaigning. I'm not defended Clinton, i'm stating the facts.

This is an instance where people are so excited, they can't understand what's going on. Calm down, take a deep breathe, and watch. You'll realize you've been missing out, and misinterpretting alot of things.

one down.. how many more to go.. i dont know.. but none to less.
1 down

Why would she resign, she's right?

of course hillary is a monster i would never vote for her if obama lose i will stay away from the polls

Let's just cool it. All of this trash talk by us just perpetuates the negativity on both sides.

These are situations that none of us can control So let's just move on.

I hate to say this but some of you people are STUPID!!!

People in high positions are ASKED to resign! They don't get fired. This allow them to leave with some degree of dignity.

Don't think for one moment she did this without Obama telling her she must.

How dumb can you be!

To call Hillary by what she is should not be inexcusable. If only half the people in the United States actually knew some of the information about Senator Clinton, including the 50 plus murders related to the Clinton's. Specifically the 10 plus homicides in arkansas over the sketchy actions of Bill Clinton in the drug trafficing through Mena, AR or the 70 million dollars that came up missing from the Arkansas State Treasury following Mr. Clinton's last term as an Arkansas congressman.

Truth is, Hillary Clinton is a hypocritical congresswoman who only gained her position through her husbands presidency and has no legitimate experience to be president. I thank Mrs. Powers for identifying Hillary for what she is.

This is not only for Samantha Power, but for MOST of the Barack supporters on these political blogs. All of you people should resign. Obama talks about closing divides and reaching out to others and everything else nice and shinny. MOST of you are the rudest and most hateful people I have ever seen. MOST of you talk the good talk about Obama but trash everyone else who see things differently than you. I just wonder what really goes on behind closed doors in the Obama camp that makes MOST of his followers act like Samantha Power and MOST of you.

I used MOST in this post which means NOT ALL! I could even extend the good hand and reconcile with MOST of you if you would start posting like Obama teaches. No rhetoric, no name calling, no bashing, just good civil conversation to spark the mind and our self-intellect.

Hillary or Hillary/Obama08 and 12!

You don't call her a monster. You just simply describe her actions and people will conclude. Monstrous!

Hey Hillary, pay attention now this is going to be new for you, it's called Integrity. Watch and learn from someone with this attribute.

Obama 08
Change we want and need.

When hillary became negative she did not use inappropriate words to describe him, she just attacked his ideas and his rethoric. Those of you that are so for Obama, do you even know what you are supporting? He does not even know what his plans are . But yet you believe his rethoric which is so filled with BS. He is typical Chicago politican! Stop putting this guy on a pedestal without checking out your facts. 3 years in the senate and he is all of suddan Brack almighty. You are sadly mistaken if you think his CHANGE bs is actually something he will follow through on!

Accountability for your actions. What a fresh response in the muddy world of politics. If you kids can't play nice, you won't play at all. Go to your room for a timeout.

Liar would have been more accurate. There is no 35 years of experience that she is bringing to office. Being the Governors’ mansion decorator followed by the White House decorator isn’t elected official experience. Conversely Obama has been working as an elected official for the last 15 years. I have wondered why they have ever let her say that she has more experience.

This is why I love Barack Obama. He sticks to his word. Seriously though, when I Wolfson going to resign?

She shouldn't have to resign for stating the truth! How rediculous! She is a woman calling out another woman for what she is, an inhuman monster!

She tells the truth and has to give up her job?.. You can see what will happen to this country of Hillary gets elected....

you shouldnt have to resign for speaking the truth.

But it's true what she said, Hillary Clinton not only is a monster, but also evil.

Why is Hillary so sensitive? How about the terms "Shame on Obama" and "OBama is a Fraud"

Both came from her mouth. What is good for the gosse is good for the gander and Hillary should also apologize.

The word Fraud is more condescending than the word Monster.

Anyone objective knows that MsPower is right. Hillary Clinton will do and say anything to win; monster might be a harsh word to use but to say "she isn't that honest and chooses to curb to truth often" doesn't have the same oomph as "monster".

Her resignation is quite unfortunate. However, some other people involved in the Obama-Clinton fray should also watch what they say. Nita Lowry, seeing as Barack Obama received 45% of the vote in Westchester County New York, should get to work doing her job supporting the people of New York and not spending so much time on the Hilary Clinton campaign.

All these bitter Obama followers crack me up.

I'm a Hillary supporter, and my take on this "monster" thing is that the apology was sufficient. People say things during the heat of an argument that should not have been said. Ms. Powers apologized, Hillary I understand accepted it, time to move on.

For all the idiot Hillary Supporters, who say Obama is going negative, can you not see that Clinton is the one who is playing negative camaign? Yesterday, in a press conference she mentioned that she and Senator Mccain have crossed the commander-in-cheif "threshold" and Obama needs to clarify about his candidacy. So for Hillary, its either her or no one else from the Democratic side. She is preferring McCain over her own party colleague. Her advisors are openly suggesting that Obama is somehow behaving like Kenn Starr. How low can they get before they realize that its over? No matter how many states she wins from now on, she will not be able to get past Obama's lead in delegates and popular vote.

People please!!! We are talking about POLITICS!!!!!!!. There has never ever been a campaign, republican or democrat, that was without mudslinging. It IS a necessary part of the political beast. If i were running for office I would certainly ensure that I had tstaff members that knew how to dig deep into my opponents past. Clinton is not a monster for doing this, shes a POLITICIAN and very good at it. Obama, on the other hand, is trying very hard to win an election based on "killing the voter, and opponent, with kindness". NOT GONNA WORK!!!!!!!! Obama, and everyone else who lays claim, can NOT change the beast. There will always be mudslinging. The BEST candidate will know how to sling it and how to receive it when it is slung back. Geez people.

I am surprised that she resigned, His campaign went negative oh Jeez welcome to the world of Clinton, this is nuts.

After all ONLY undeucated village idiots support Clintons.

What a wonderful gesture such that mirrors the integrity and respect for running a clean campaign by Barack Obama. Let’s move from silly season expressions and allow the American people to vote only on the issuers and for the candidate that will better care for our lives and the future of the U.S.

Howard Wolfson, Come on down! You are next contestant on the Bad Campaign Members Must Resign Show! Prof. Powers, thanks for your service to the Obama campaign.

I feel the difference with the 'monstor' comment and 'Kenneth Starr' comment is that the Clinton campaign was comparing Obama's actions as similar to those of Kenneth's Starr, while Obama's compaign said Clinton was a monstor.

As someone who trys to see the point from both sides...Obama's supporter, Power, was a bit more harsh.

Oh, she's lovely.

Good....she should resign. Everyone knows that you can't make random comments about a person's character without paying some sort of price.

The truth hurts – Hillary is a monster

She is a MONSTER, along with low down, back stabbing and dirty.

Now if only Obama would resign the USA would be a better place!

OBAMA's whole campaign was based on NOT GOING NEGATIVE…. now that he is going negative his true colors are going to shine. He says that his politics are refreshing and not like the way Washington has always been… politics of destruction. What does he think that just because a staffer made these comments that it didn't come from him? I have watched him from day one! Also, he has ALWAYS COPIED other politicians speeches. Go read speeches John Kerry made when he was running for president. Then compare them to some of NOBAMA's interviews when he announced his canidency! I am a political news junkie so have seen TONS of news and interviews and have never seen someone copy others ideas more so than he has.

YOU ARE TO INEXPERIENCED to lead our country in a time of war! The Republicans are going to destroy this man if god forbid he ever made it to a general election.

NO NO NO NO NOBAMA! NO YOU CAN'T NO YOU CAN'T NO YOU CAN'T ! ! !

WANT A WINNING TICKET that the Republicans won't be able to touch?

CLINTON – GENERAL WESLEY CLARK 08 ! ! !

EXPERIENCE AND STRENGTH !

WOLFSON SHOULD RESIGN NOW FOR HIS COMMENTS ABOUT KENNETH STAR!!!

It looks to me like Hillary's ENTIRE staff should be fired. While she's at it, she should have to explain, NAFTAGATE, PETER PAUL, BILL'S LIBRARY DONATIONS, HER WHITE HOUSE PAPERS, TAX RETURNS, etc. The list is too long to post.

Who is she talking about? She looks like a Monster herself.
Kim Nguyen

that was a smart move , things like this should not effect the candidate , and his chances of becoming the nominee

America is just beginning to see the "blank screen" of B. HUSSEIN O.
Let's hear less misogyny and MORE TRUTH about dirty Obama!!!!!!
Can we call him hateful names or is that too intelligent!!!

She said absolutly the truth. Feeling so sorry that she has to leave. But sometimes politic requires sacrifies from the fines man and women America has to offer.

Resign???? Looks like Obama couldn't hold up to his word and FIRE someone.....great presidential material....HA HA

she who laughs last, may get the last laugh?

It just seems like Obama's whole campaign is starting to implode. What is going on and why is he not taking charge of his campaign? I am worried that they had a slight setback on tuesday and now they're falling apart.

It is very sad that we, as a nation have been focusing on 'who said what’ in regard to the other candidate –in a personal connotation instead of focusing on the REAL issues facing our nation.

The economy is sliding into recession, jobs are leaving by the boatful, healthcare has totally been placed onto the shelf and foremost –national security has been all but been set aside!!!

While we have a current President who likes to 'Tap Dance' for reporters, seemingly ignorant to the real issues facing real Americans....

Lets focus on the specific issues and the plans that our candidates have in overcoming our very serious problems...

You know what America.. lets get together and get it together !

Quickly

We have 2 very solid candidates that have the potential to steer this country back onto the right path toward economic reform.

Yet, this election has broken down to focus on petty comments made by one side or the other –instead of focusing on the REAL and serious issues facing our great nation.

It is simply astounding that we have all come to this point...

Stop being so weak Obama. Clinton is a MONSTER and Bill is a lot of other things. She is what she is and that is a MONSTER. From now on I will call her that. To me you are letting the MONSTER run you like Chicken George. Do like MLK and stand up like a man and fight. You are causing me to wonder if you really do have the backbone for this.
Hillary is a MONSTER, MONSTER, MONSTER and a no good dirty one at that.

this is going to tear the dems apart, we will never gain the white house back, now i know why rebuplicans have been in power for so long great job dems.

I hate that America has become a place where freedom of speech is grounds for unemployment....

She should have been fired afterall it was Obama who said – "I do not want to see research that is involved in trying to tear people down personally. If I find out that somebody is doing that, they will be fired. And I have been absolutely crystal clear about this, and I have been clear about this for a very long time."

And she still hasn't apolagized to the people of Ohio.

The OBAMAS are getting NERVOUS, and started making mistakes
No good. NO GOOD. Keep your dignity.
You can't puhch below the belt........

Trish:

Take BACK the White House? Repubs are already in the White House Stupid!!!!

And the state actually lets you vote?

women ',I always said to my daugter you best friend is a man.why ,well read the coments from Mr Obama top advicer??

Trish, you don't know what you're wishing for......Clinton would be FAR harder to beat than Obama.

She should resign if this is the kind of "top foreign affairs" advisor we can expect from an Obama candidacy. She sounded like shrill female cult groupie, not an expert in foreign affairs. We live in a dangerous world. If this is an example of Obama's judgement in picking advisors we should all have second thought. He has based his campaign on his "good judgement" in opposing the Iraq War in 2002 (even though he didn't have to vote since he was only an Illinois Senator then, not a US Senator) . What does this say about his good juedgement? What does having Rezko help him buy his house say about Obama's judgement? What does belonging to a Church that gave Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam leader, a Lifetime Achievement Award in December 2007 say about Obama's good judgement?

I much rather be called a "monster" than Ken Starr...lol

Good for Obama...
and for the poster here, when something like this happens, it is generally called on the person getting released to resign so they leave with some dignity.. its just the etiquette... same thing happened with Clintons former campaign manager.

Really is Sad tho, she is a smart woman and said off the record comments that should never have been published... what she had to say however is dead on, Hillary has run a pathetic campaign... she said she wanted to focues on the issues, but that wasnt working for her... Barack won 11 straight, so she showed her true colors that she is hell bent on trying to win this nomination even at the expense of her own party and at the diminishing of her character.

Clinton supporters please wake up.. your candidate is a phony..
You dont think there are people in the clinton camp saying negative things about Obama, off the record, behind closed doors?
Please...
Its sad to see such an intelligent woman leave the Obama camp... but its the best thing for him i guess

Say No to Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton !!!

USA is not a monarchy.

Go Obama '08.

yeah...count on ohio to mess everything up...again.
At least Hilary could LEARN something: stop crying and deal with your issues!

to Obamites,

Is Ken Starr a monster?

Double-standard time again – Clinton's campaign has been making unjustified slams without accoutnability – Bush/Rove like attacks. Calling Obama's strategies Republican-like when she ran that scare-tactic ad in Texas!? That's right out of Rove's playbook. And the latest slam comparing Obama to Kenneth Starr? Huh? Is Bill the only Clinton who tires to re-write the dictionary? What is YOUR definition of "is", Hillary?

Took long enough.

I agree with the commenters above. Let us demand that Howard Wolfson resign if Clinton really thinks that the Democratic campaign should be free of negative campaigning.

Too bad it probably won't happen, though...

This is a shame ... but part of the Clinton strategy - to so test the patience of members of an intelligent campaign that they are incited to react.

This is the way school yard bullies do it ... provoke someone until they react, and then run crying to the schoolyard supervisor to accuse the other person of fighting.

We really have to get beyond this kind of thing.

Perhaps I don't though ... has anyone noticed the legal suit pending against Bill Clinton ... Paul vs. Clinton? Am I missing something, or is there simply no interest on the part of our erstwhile press?

There are a lot of conservative republicans and independents here in College Station, TX and they are just laughing at those comments because they know Hillary very well for her win-at-all-costs tactics.
It's clear that she won't stand a bit against John McCain should she be the nominee.

Howard Wolfson must be fired for calling Barack Obama, Kenn Starr.

If not, the entire world we see the hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign.

Shame on the Clinton campaign for not following their words with actions.

This is a huge blow to the campaign. Ms. Power is one of America's leading human rights advocates and an award-winning, respect journalist. Those comments were meant to be off the record; this is the sort of foolishness that will drag this election season down to the dark depths of American presidential politics that the Obama campaign seems to be trying to desperately to avoid.

Samantha represents a huge group of people who are frustrated with the way the Clinton campaign is run. She made a mistake and did the right thing in steping down. It just shows how hard change is and reminds us that like Barack Obama, we cannot lose our cool even when faced with disrespect, dishonesty, and negativity. Obama has shown his ability to remain calm, clear-headed, and respectable. These are the qualities of great presidents, an no amount of experience (or faux-experience) can ever make up for a lack of these qualities. You've either got it, or you don't, and Barack Obama is the only candidate left (D or R) that has these God-given qualities. In these times of struggle here in America and across the globe, we need the steady handed judgement of our next great president: Barack Obama.

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.

Howard Wolfson needs to go too..that guy is so annoying

I find it amazing that these advisers no matter which side Dem. or Rep. seem to be always putting their foot in their mouths. It seems to be a serious lack common sense.

Usually 'resignations' are encouraged. this is a good move by the Obama camp.

She resigned for telling the truth?

Now I'd like to see the Clinton advisers who have tried to ghettoize Obama with drug comments, who have spread false rumors about his religion and who spread the photo of Obama in Kenya that was an attempt to scare up more rumors about his religion.

Oh wait Hillary would rather lie about her campaign's dirty involvement than apologize for it. Nothing out of the Clinton campaign surprises me anymore.

Wait for the billarybots to jump all over this one, it'll be hilarious to see the hypocrisy!

All I have to say is that if the horns fit...well...

You don't have to look very far into Hillary's past to find her draconian tactics, comments, and behavior as a former first-she's no lady.

This is so ridiculous!

There is nothing wrong with people voicing their feelings and showing their true colors. I commend Barack H. Obama for surrounding himself with pit balls who aren't afraid to maul anyone who gets in Obama's way.

This is politics. Kudos to Samantha Power for being honest. All politicians should show their true colors.

Hillary R. Clinton should also embrace Ms. Power's comment. After all, she claims that she's a tough fighter. Words are just words, remember that Hillary.

Well I agree, Hillary is a Monster. I used to be a supporter of hers but I can clearly see what a smarmy, hippocritical campaign she runs. Just yesterday, Kenneth Wolfson called Obama "Kenneth Starr". Now that someone calls Hillary a monster, they cry for her head. You cant have it BOTH ways Hillary. Obama's camp should call for the resignation of Wolfson. I know that Obama is trying to run a clean campaign but Hillary is trying REALLY hard to drag him down into the mud with her. She hurls mud at him and then cries that someone made her hands dirty!

Don't worry kids – if he's successful, she will have a place on his White House Staff, along with all of the other kids being potty trained at our expense.

Obama Supporters – stop your whining and look at just how GREEN (and I don't mean pro-environment) Mr. Obama and his staff really are.

Open your minds and support Hillary. Call upon Barack to be her VP – the utlimate power ticket and the only thing that makes sense.

To Clinton Suporters:

How EXACTLY do you feel about your candidate in a Democratic Primary calling her fellow party member less suitable to run the country then OUR Republican opponent???

You are just scratching the surface. I can't believe that the American public can be so easily led by the nose when it comes to Hillary. I used to be a military man and I wouldn't trust her for a second with our nations security. Most presidents that turn out to be good leaders have the help of a crack staff that they can rely on. She can't even keep her goons in check in a presidential campaign! She really needs to have her feet held to the fire on this and the MSM seems so squeamish when it comes down to "VETTING" her. I have a friend in town that is a big GOP supporter and I told him to save me a huge McCain sign for my lawn just in case she wins the nomination.

Wow. I just really don't know what to say anymore.

I'm a bit apprehensive about the obvious divide the Democratic Party is having. I think we are past fixing it. 3 months ago I thought November was in the bag for us; but, I'm not so sure anymore. Obama supporters are just too die-hard, while this Clinton supporter feels too uneasy with Obama.

I think it's going to take a lot to fix America and bring it up to par again. I feel Obama is just too green. And McCain, well McCain, is just left enough for me.

I think it may be in the best interest for everyone to calm down and try to look at it in each candidates perspectives. The negative comments need to be watered down.

Sad world when someone has to resign for telling the truth.

Noooooooo! She shouldn't have left. That's just what the Clintons wanted. Usually, it's someone on the Clinton side getting the axe. You can follow the trail of rolling heads back to Hillary's camp. This is another example of how Hillary is forcing Obama to get down in the mud with her. Obama should not stand for it. If I were him, I would not accept Samantha Powers' resignation. That would be a great way to shock Hillary and the political world.

Why is Samantha Power resigning? She told the truth. Hillary Clinton is a monster and her husband is Dr. Frankenstein.
