When women attack

So today, another passive aggressive attack comes from another woman in the Obama camp (see also previous post, "Unacceptable"). Although a resignation and apology followed - only after the comment was printed - it is another view into how the Obama camp is communicating behind closed doors about Hillary. What is really interesting is the manner in which the offensive words were spewed, with such aggression, desperation and disdain, a reflection of Samantha Powers', a 37 year old, own insecurities, self-hatred and jealousy of watching another woman succeed.
Here is the complete quote:
"Earlier, clearly rattled by the Ohio defeat, Ms Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from her candidate."We f***** up in Ohio," she admitted. "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 is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything," Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark. Ms Power said of the Clinton campaign: "Here, it looks like desperation. I hope it looks like desperation there, too."You just look at her and think, 'Ergh'." http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/latestnews/39Hillary-Clinton39s-a-monster39-Obama.3854371.jp

The apology only came after it was published. I wonder how many times she has said this before? I wonder how many times it has been said in Obama's presence? I wonder who else is saying it? I wonder why did she have to resign - and was not fired?

Amateur Hour...
Power was Obama's senior foreign policy advisor. It is one thing to attack someone on substance, but name-calling? Really? Are we back in high school? It sure looks like desperation over there...
