From the BBC:

“The Scotsman newspaper quoted Ms Power as saying: “She is a monster, too - that is off the record - she is stooping to anything.”

Obama Adviser Samantha Power Resigns, but it’s too early in the morning to process politics. Before my first cup of coffee, I thought in terms of spin:

Sam Power is a Pulitzer Prize winner - certainly she knows nothing is off the record — especially juicy quotes — and this episode of her resigning is a highly calculated move. It shows Obama taking the moral high ground and forcing anyone in his camp who slings mud to resign, showing him as the moral candidate and better choice as leader.
And me pointing this out as a strategic move not done for morals, but politics, would mean that I’m for Clinton. But since I’m actually for Obama, and that this whole post seems to actually vilify Obama for his duplicity, it’s real purpose is making more Obama fans rush to his aid and defend him. But really, I hope Obama is a little duplicitous because it’s a cut throat world and we need our leader to have some cunning.

See isn’t politics fun?

Now that I’m having my coffee and have had a moment to discuss this with one of the Synthesis office’s sages, I of course realize that I’m too dumb for politics, or maybe not dumb enough for politics, and that I should just drink my coffee and find out what cool bands from Norway will be playing SXSW in Austin next week.

“We fucked up in Ohio. In Ohio they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio’s the only place they can win. She’s a monster too - that’s off the record - she is stooping to anything.” –Obama aide Samantha Power

An unfortunate remark from a woman promoting her book to the Scotsman. Ms. Power has since resigned and the comment stands as a black eye amidst a rough week for the Obama campaign. But let’s get down to brass tax: Is Hillary Clinton really a monster? I think not.

I have it on good authority that Hillary Clinton is closely related to the cyborg, specifically Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. And really, the writing is on the wall; manic facial expressions, bulldog front, pitiless emotions and a lust to kill. Combine these traits with her seemingly indestructible nature, and you’ve got yourself a T-800 series Terminator. This of course should come as no surprise, as a T-800 is already the governor of California.

None of this, though, is good news for the Obama camp. It’s not easy fighting off any cyborg, let alone one with a hankering for politics.
