Samantha Power, Pulitzer Pize winning author and Obama's unpaid foreign policy adviser, resigned Friday after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster" in an interview with the Scotsman newspaper.
Samantha Power apologized to both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama for her inexcusable remarks. Her comments about Senator Clinton came as she was blaming Obama's loss in Texas and Ohio on Hillary's negative campaigning.
The Clinton campaign used Power's remark as a way of raising more campaign money. They sent out an e-mail to campaign supporters highlighting the "monster" quote and said that a small contribution will show Obama that there is a price to pay for political attacks. The Cinton campaign never mentioned that Ms. Power had resigned.
Obama's campaign does plan on elevating its attacks on Clinton in response.
Gregory Meeks, New York Rep., says "This is the worst kind of politics."
