Obama nominates radical idealist Samantha Power as ambassador to the UN, page 1

Obama is continuing to build his circle of radical friends in high places throughout DC and his newest hopeful addition is Samantha Power, wife of Obama's former regulatory czar Cass Sunstein. It seems that the only requirement to join Obama's administration is to have an extreme radical ideology and be friends with the Obama's, which IMHO is an extremely dangerous combination for the future of our nation.

Granted this is only a nomination and she still must be confirmed and we should all hope that her confirmation is denied by congress.

The former White House adviser and longtime Obama friend nominated Wednesday as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has a history of controversial comments that could haunt her in confirmation -- including likening U.S. foreign policies to those of the Nazis.

In a March 2003 New Republic magazine essay, Samantha Power wrote that American foreign policy needs a "historical reckoning" which would entail "opening the files" and "acknowledging the force of a mantra we have spent the last decade promoting in Guatemala, South Africa, and Yugoslavia."

She continued: “Instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors. When (German Chancellor Willy) Brandt went down on one knee in the Warsaw ghetto, his gesture was gratifying to World War II survivors, but it was also ennobling and cathartic for Germany. Would such an approach be futile for the United States?"
