This is Samantha Power. She held the position of Chief Foreign Policy Advisor for the Obama campaign until about three months ago when she was replaced in the aftermath of some unpleasant comments about Hillary Clinton. She is at Berkley, so the audience is receptive. She has long been known as pro-Palestinian, which makes her, by default, anti-Israel. Listen carefully:
Did you catch the cautious phrasing about possibly alienating a powerful, influential and wealthy segment of the electorate? Did you catch the part about "significant" and "serious" security forces imposed in the region? Did you notice the demand for billions of direct aid to prop up the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah? If it doesn't scare you, I don't know what would. I wonder what Barbara Streisand thinks about this approach to Israel?
She is considered a definite component of an Obama administration. Since her expertise is foreign policy that might mean National Security Advisor or maybe SecState.
And, on other fronts, have you heard that Sarah Palin's pointing out that Obama is linked to William Ayers was really not-so-thinly veiled racism! That from the AP, not an aggrieved Obama spokesman.
