Will Samantha Power have a place in an Obama administration?
Let's hope so.

What happened in the primaries should stay in the primaries.

7. I would think she would be included.
In context, I didn't see anything wrong with what she said back then either. It was more a statement about that campaign than it was Hillary as a person. Me, I would have said Penn & Wolfson were the monsters.

8. The primary is behind us.
I'd like not to hash out these Hillary-Obama campaign fights. It's not worth it.

Samantha Power is a brilliant woman. She belongs in an Obama administration.

9. Thanks for bringing this up, I hope so too
Samantha Power is really "change we can believe in"..Not Madeleine Albright and the other leftover Clinton folks.
Wouldn't it be great to have Naomi Klein or Antonia Juhasz in positions in an Economy Task Force?

Rahm Emmanuel doesn't seem like a such a good choice to me. I think he is one of the proponents of NAFTA, and is a rabid supporter of Israel in everything they do. Since Obama has promised to make Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel, I can't see how they can help with the Palestinian question.

Samantha can think out of the box in these matters...

10. I hope so.
Her expertise in Human Rights and genocide would balance out Emanuel's hawkishness.

11. I've been trying to think of
her name but keep remembering what happened and I hear she's really good at what she does.

I hope she gets a job with Obama now that the damn dust has settled.
