"Obama picks Harvard professor to assist refugees of Iraq war
Samantha Power - Harvard professor, human rights activist, and award-winning author - has a new gig inside the Obama administration: coordinator of US government efforts to help refugees from the Iraq war.
In her new role, Power will work more closely with the State Department, which is led by Hillary Rodham Clinton. During the campaign, Power stepped down as an unpaid adviser to Obama after she caused a huge uproar by calling Clinton a “monster’’ who was “stooping to anything’’ to win the Democratic nomination.
Yes, when you TELL the TRUTH there IS an UPROAR!
But after the election, Power reached out to Clinton, and she was included in the transition team for the State Department.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT!
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said yesterday that after talks last month with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq, President Obama has picked Power, who is senior director for multilateral affairs and human rights at the National Security Council, to work with the State, Defense, and Homeland Security departments and the US Agency for International Development.
“President Obama has long made clear that the United States is committed to working closely with the Iraqi government to aid Iraqis who have been displaced or are otherwise vulnerable as a result of the violence in Iraq,’’ Gibbs said in a statement. He said the United States has allocated about $346 million this fiscal year for the effort.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
They START a WAR based on EGREGIOUS LIES, SHATTER a NATION, and THEN TELL the American taxpayer YOU gotta pick up the tab for our assets because of the mess they made!!!!
Hey, what the hell, you didn't need that $346 million for anything, did you, America?
