Samantha Power, an unpaid foreign policy adviser and Harvard professor, announced her resignation in a statement provided by the Obama campaign in which she expressed "deep regret."This most recent incident not only confirms the lack of discipline in the Obama campaign, it points to the inclination of the candidate to hire in his own image (academics, lawyers), a potential weakness that I’ve noted before.
Barack Obama’s supporters look like America—if skin color is the criterion. But beneath the skin---the relations between people, and attitudes toward work, God, and country---there are a lot of people who haven’t yet joined this piper’s parade.
Will Senator Obama hunker down and hit back against the Clinton attack machine or will he continue his “new politics” meme and remain above the fray? It’s a tough choice. On the other hand, this should be a snap for a guy who knew all along what to do about Iraq and terrorism. © 2008 Stephen Yuen
