Woman who called Hillary a Monster appointed to important NSC position

Well, I guess that Samantha Power's removal from the Obama campaign was not quite as sincere as one might have thought. Obama was claimed to believe that Power's statement represented "This is the worst kind of politics." The Chronicle of Higher Education reports:

Samantha Power and Hillary Rodham Clinton have long since buried the hatchet over that famous “monster” comment back during the presidential campaign. Now they apparently are about to be drawn even closer. The Associated Press reported today that Ms. Power, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and a professor of public policy at Harvard University, will be named to a senior foreign-policy job at the White House — one that could have her traveling with Ms. Clinton, the secretary of state.

According to the AP, officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said President Obama had tapped Ms. Power to be senior director for multilateral affairs at the National Security Council. White House officials would not provide any details of that role. . . .
