Oh, the sweet irony

[question everything]

Samantha Power, who had to quit the Obama campaign for calling Hillary "a monster" is now a member of State Department transition team and will have to help Hillary get into her new position.

1. she doesn't "have" to do it

if it was up to Hillary she probably wouldn't be doing it.

but it's Obama's decision .

[joshcryer]

2. I know, it's great. Obama truly is compelling people to work together.

It's amazing, really. Had *anyone* predicted this many people would have laughed the idea out of the room.

[Deja Q]

15. Seconded.

A shame, but you're absolutely right.

(On edit - to clarify: a shame that others would laugh it out of the room...)

3. I have a feeling Hillary is VERY easy to get along with..

....and I'll bet that she and Samantha do just fine!

16. I LOVE that picture!

That is very cool!

[Forkboy]

4. I suspect Hillary is far less bothered by the comment than many of her supporters.

[joshcryer]

6. I suspect Samantha Power's willingness to work for Obama only barely overcame her hatred for Hillary

Which is why I think it is remarkable that Obama could persuade her to do it at all. Damn we got ourselves a great President here.

11. What's that sig line pic about?

:shrug:

[question everything]

12. Sigh. If there is a fight, I hope it is between

two adults. Of course, if Huffington gets in the picture..

[Renew Deal]

13. Nah, Samantha made a mistake.

But she loves Hillary. Shit happens.

[ecstatic]

14. She's a grownup. She can handle it nt
