"Top Barack Aide Calls Hillary A 'Monster'"

Inside US poll battle as fight turns dirty for Democrats

HILLARY Clinton has been branded a "monster" by one of Barack Obama's top advisers, as the gloves come off in the race to win the Democrat nomination.

In an unguarded moment during an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, his key foreign policy aide, let slip the camp's true feelings about the former First Lady.

Her comments came as Mr Obama, whose defeats in Texas and Ohio on Tuesday were largely put down to a series of negative attacks on him, vowed to turn up the heat on Mrs Clinton over her claims to be the more experienced candidate.

The fragile truce was blown apart as the pressure for the nomination intensified, with Mrs Clinton winning in Texas and Ohio.

Ms Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from Mr Obama.

"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.

"Interestingly, the people in her innermost circle seem to not mind her; I think they really love her."

But she added: "There is this middle circle – they are really on the warpath. But the truth is she has proved herself really willing to stoop."

In recent TV appearances Mrs Clinton had looked desperate and on the back foot.

Ms Power agreed, and said: "Here, it looks like desperation. I hope it looks like desperation there too.

"You just look at her and think: ergh. But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive."

Ms Power's comments reveal how the inexperienced Obama campaign is coming under increasing pressure from a battle-hardened Clinton camp that saw Ohio as its last chance to save its candidate.

Earlier in the week, the press and the Clinton camp seized on remarks by Austan Goolsbee, Ms Power's colleague, on the North America Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). His comments are widely believed to have cost the Mr Obama the Ohio Democratic presidential primary.

Mr Goolsbee, Mr Obama's top economic policy adviser, had told Canadian officials that a public pledge to force a renegotiation of Nafta with tougher labour and environmental rules was "more about political positioning".

But the Clinton camp said Mr Obama could tell the public one thing and then tell a foreign government something else behind closed doors.

Ms Power knew the consequences of the gaffe made by her friend. She said: "Now Hillary is using it to say that Obama's not serious about Nafta. Oh God, it's so sad."

Mr Obama yesterday blamed fierce attacks by Mrs Clinton for his defeats in this week's big primaries, and quickly made good on a promise to sharpen his criticism of her in what promises to become an all-out brawl in the race for the White House.

The Illinois senator took the offensive against Mrs Clinton, targeting her claims that she is more experienced in handling foreign policy. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no," he said. "She made a series of arguments on why she should be a superior candidate. I think it's important to examine that argument."

In recent days, the former First Lady has argued Mr Obama was getting a free ride with the media, questioned his sincerity in opposing Nafta and darkly hinted he was not ready to be commander in chief in a crisis.

Mrs Clinton, asked about her national security qualifications, ticked off a series of events in which she had played a role, including peace talks in Northern Ireland, the Kosovo refugee crisis and standing up for women's rights in China. She also cited her work on the Senate armed services committee.

Obama aides took the offensive yesterday, holding a conference call to ask why Clinton had not released her tax returns. Her campaign responded with a statement e-mailed to reporters while they were on the Obama call that said the Clintons' returns since they left the White House would be made public around 15 April.

"There's no doubt that Senator Clinton went very negative over the last week," Mr Obama said. He said the Clinton campaign's multiple attacks "had some impact" on the election results, "particularly in the context where many of you in the press corps had been persuaded that you had been too hard on her and too soft on me".

Ms Power insisted Mr Obama was well equipped to deal with foreign policy. She said his perceived willingness to befriend dictators and rogue leaders was him simply trying a different approach, as the current foreign policy has not worked.

She said: "Hillary Clinton always portrays his position on meeting with dictators as naive. She is almost implying what he is saying is he wants to meet with dictators without preparations. It is not like he would sit down with Ahmadinejad and say, 'Hey Ahmadinejad, I have been meaning to talk to you. How ’bout those New York Giants?'

"If we have had the same policy for decades and it is not working, why are we sticking to the same policy?

"Can we at least try to re-jig the equation here? Principles should not be checked at the door when one is meeting with dictators. But seeking to at least have dialogue would give the United States more kudos in the non-western world, allowing others to see that perhaps it was not all America's fault.

"There is something tougher about being in the room with Ahmadinejad and making your position known rather than lobbing your verbal grenades from 5,000 miles away, which is what the Bush administration has done."

She added: "It is important that negotiations don't become an end in itself. It is the Chamberlain problem."

Ms Power was in the UK to promote her book on Sergio Vieira de Mello, the extraordinary UN representative who was blown up in Baghdad.

PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED

WHEN is off the record actually off the record? When the rules are established in advance.

Journalists are always looking for knowledge and want the information they receive to be available for publication.

But occasionally an interviewer will accept an exchange is "off the record" and that the conversation is not attributable. Remarks can be used as background to inform a journalist's article.

If a conversation is to be off the record, that agreement is usually thrashed out before the interview begins. Sometimes, public figures say something and then attempt to retract it by insisting it was "off the record" after the event.

But by then it is too late, particularly if it is in the public interest that the story be published.

In this instance, Samantha Power was promoting her book and it was established in advance that the interview was on the record.

A WOMAN OF POWER
SAMANTHA Power is the embodiment of the American immigrant dream.

Born in Dublin in 1970, she moved to the United States with her mother aged nine.

After being educated in state schools in Pittsburgh and Georgia, she gained entry to the prestigious Yale University, where she studied history. The self-depre
cating Ms Power said this changed her life and opened many doors.

She worked as freelance journalist in Bosnia, after teaching herself the language in Croatia. Her only other journalism experience prior to that was covering the Yale women's volleyball team.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, she became an executive director and founder of the Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy at Harvard.

The 37-year-old already has one Pulitzer Prize behind her, for her book A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide and she is in the UK and Ireland to plug her new book, Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World.

Ms Power was head-hunted by Barack Obama to become his foreign-policy adviser in 2005 and combines this role with her job as a Time magazine columnist and professor of practice of global leadership and public policy at Harvard.

    re:Krystal
    Not true. It's you and the rest of the people on this board that need to read up. You are all a bunch of puppets. Obama is not a Muslim and has never been a Muslim. His father was a Muslim, but his parents divorced when he was very young and he was not raised by him, he was raised by his mother. His mother remarried a man who worked for an oil company and they lived in Jakarta, which is mainly Muslim. During that 4-5 year period he attended both Muslim and Catholic schools. He was then sent back to live with his maternal grandparents, who are both white. You are ignorant and misinformed. Most people when they aren't educated or informed enough to win an argument will revert to insults. My name? You couldn't come up with anything better. I love coming on these and getting people like you all worked up so I can see what you do. Where did you get your facts? Can you back your claims up with legitimate sources?? Can any of you?

    Re: Jules

    Jules from France probably…great….You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. You do not have me wound up because I know and you know that raghead does not have a chance in hell. When it comes down to it and people are in private their conscience will kick in and know that (1) Obama has no experience, (2) Obama has Muslim ties regardless of whether he admits to it or not. His stepfather was also Muslim so where his father left off, his stepfather stepped in. Perhaps he does not claim to be a Muslim, nonetheless HE HAS MUSLIM TIES.

    Nobody here is angry about anything Jules. You will see that even if he wins the nomination, he himself will do himself in and lose the election because he has absolutely no experience in foreign policy or running anything for any period of time. In this dangerous world we live in, most are not going to take the chance of electing someone without experience no matter how good a talker and bullshitter he is. But you are free to believe as you please as am I.

    Re: Jules

    Jules are you muslim? You seem to be taking people saying obama is muslim personally. I too believe that even if he says he's not that he has ties to the Muslims and was brought up with Muslims surrounding him. To say he was never influenced is plain ridiculous. By the way, we do not believe he is Muslim just because his last name is Obama. The truth is out there — he was raised with his father and stepfather both being Muslims. He lived in a country that is predominantely Muslim and you expect us to believe he has no ties to the Muslims. Come on now, not everyone is going to pretend that this man is all that he says he is. He's a good speaker but that in itself does not qualify him to be President. The heat is getting ready to kick in and when the issues are put before him, he's going to fold like a deck of cards.

    Totally agree Kystal. People bought into his original bullshit but we are all having second thoughts. We all wanted to believe he was too good to be true with our heads up our asses. He promises the world without a plan to deliver. I for one, have had a change of heart and feel good about walking away from Obama.

    julia R:
    Nope, not a Muslim. I never said he didn't have ties, actually if you read my post above I point out those ties. However, to use that as an excuse to claim he is some kind of terrorist who is going to start blowing this country appart if he becomes president is totally ridiculous, and really truly ignorant and prejudice. He lived with his grandparents from the time he was either 7 or 8. They were not Muslims. They lived not that far from my house, which is a very upperclass, wealthy, majority white Christian area. So, to say because his father was a Muslim - even though he hardly saw his father, or because his stepfather was - that these things somehow make him a Muslim is just completely ridiculous. I went to Japanese school when I was a kid and to the Buddhist temple sometimes because my best friend was Japanese and Buddhist - I haven't gone since so does that make me Buddhist? Of course it doesn't. But according to alot of people on this board it does. Also, he was very young when he lived in Jakarta and only lived there for 4-5 years before he moved back to the states. And while in Jakarta attended both Muslim and Catholic schools - so wait, maybe he's Catholic? Also, what all of you should know is not all Muslims are terrorists. Really. Educate yourselves and meet some.

    Re: Jules

    Jules we are in a war against (radical) muslims, but nonetheless Muslims. You are entitled to vote as you see fit and if your conscience tells you he's the best for you, then so be it. However, please do not imply that he is associated with or has had ties with Muslims. We have all read about his upbringing and know about his dad, stepdad and Muslim upbringing. I would say you have ties with Buddism as I would say he has ties to being Muslim. For some of us, that creates a discomfort (Muslim) and we prefer to vote otherwise. That is our right as Americans. Don't know if it's wrong or if it's right, but I do not want a person of Muslim heritage (whether practicing or not) to run my country. It is a personal choice and one that I can live with. Add that with inexperience in this dangerous world we live in and I would just feel more comfortable with someone who is in my eyes a true American. Not saying it is right, but it is what I and many, many others feel. Obama is a lot of talk. That will be seen in the coming months when the heats is turned on.

    Hey Jules for some of us, ties to Muslims is enough not to vote for Obama. May not be right, but that is the way many of us feel. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can vote as they please. Actually, this is a pretty sad choice of candidates we have to choose from. It's like choosing the lesser of the evils.

    i dont know why people want to vote hillary!
    common, think about it, she's just not a good leader.
    i'm not being sexist because i myself am a woman,
    come to think about it, i think a woman president would be good,
    but a good leader not some crappy leader.
    I dont know why you guys can't see that she obviously
    does not have the qualities that are needed to be the president of
    United States. While Obama is more smart, and obviously
    has the skills we need as the new president of U.S.
    I wish you people would stop being Rascist.
    I mean what is wrong with your brains, muslims are just
    as good as other religions. Im not muslim, but i have some friends
    that are muslims and they are nice. You cant just judge
    someone because of their race or religion. So what if Obama
    is black so what if he's muslim. He's probably smarter then all
    u rascists.

Obama "probably" is smarter than his follwers, because anyone who has done any research would know he is not ready for the Presidency. Black or Not, Muslim or Not.

    And you are right Muslims are people and there are many nice ones. So let them stay as our neighbors and friend, but not to run our country. Do you not see how they run theirs? I mean come on wake up people.

    Re: Ingrid

    My suggestion is get over the awestruck and look into the issues. Obama does not have a clue. Talking a good talk will not turn this country around. Although Hillary nor McCain are the perfect candidate, either one is 1000X times more qualified to be President than Obama could ever hope for. Obama is backed in a corner now with a little pressure coming on…just wait and see how he reacts…he's going to crack.

    Re: Jules – The muslim thing doesn't even rate on my list of concerns with Obama.

    However, it is stretching quite a bit to say because you went to a Buddhist temple with a friend, it compares to parent's and stepparent's moral upbringing of their children and faith.

    Please! Insult someone else's intelligence with that one. They don't compare in the slightest, other than you and Obama stepped into a religious building during your young life.

    Look none of the candidates are good candidates. It's picking the lesser of the evils and the one who could handle a crisis. Until we change rules pertaining to the Senate and House or Reps, it will be the same old shit. Term limits to get thsoe prehistoric dinosaur fucks out is the 1st step to change. I don't understand why there are not term limits there, so the President can have a chance and the people will get change.

    something shocking in some comments is that being muslim is associate with being evil!! and it's shocking to tie an entire religion with some freak terrorists
    Saying that every muslim is like bin laden it's just like saying that every american is like charles manson!!
    there is nothing wrong being muslim, it's being a freak the real problem!!

    I am muslim and I am European too, and you know what my boyfriend is Christian, I drink some alcohol, I am a college student, I don't wear any restrictive clothing like a stupid veil,I volunteer, I go to clubs , concerts,movies, I travel a lot, I love arts, …………..I am actually a regular muslim!!!

    what do you think that muslims are all like just one stupid, freaky terrorist??
    all the muslims I know where shocked by 9/11 and saddened, and a lot of mosks held memorial services for the american citizen that tragically died during this tragedy!!

    hey stoopid girl just open up!!! you can't summarize a religion that count 1 billion of people, to an unsane half brained terrorist!!

    I did not say all Muslims were bad. I said I didn't want a RAGHEAD running my country. Do you take note of the way they run theirs? No problem with muslims, know muslims who are good people, muslims in the neighborhood…HOWEVER….it's a lot different when you're talking about running a country which is in trouble. If you read my comments correctly, you would have known that I said MUSLIM & INEXPERIENCE were my issues with Obama. Put them both together and he doesn't work for ME. I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours. No need to bring in your personal stuff. I do not care what religion your boyfriend is or anything else. Once again what I'm saying is I DO NOT WANT AN INEXPERIENCED SILVER TONGUE DEVIL MUSLIM AS A UNITED STATES PRESIDENT. And I am not in the minority as much as you all would like to believe. I'm in the minority for coming right out and saying it, but you will see at election time.

    I believe it is you that's actually stupid. You must be going by your muslim beliefs that people are not entitled to their own opinion. Here in America we can have an opnion and say it out loud.

    Barack Obama claims to be a "christian," but he was born a Muslim. His father and grandfather were both radical muslims. In Islam once you are born a muslim, you wil always be a muslim. Anyone who converts to another religion or leaves is sentenced to death. So in Islam's eyes Barack Hussein Obama will always be a muslim. It is like saying he isn't really black but converted to being white. Radical Islam, including Al Qaeda, will be dancing in the streets if he is elected.

He has made some mistakes as have all President's. But nonetheless HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. Somewhere along the line freedome of speech got of hand. Loud mouth assholes have taken advantage of it along with armchair quarterbacks. I do not like all of Bush's actions, but I can tell you that when he says something he means it. Not like these weasels you all are considering running for office. Those other countries dislike him because he isn't putting up with their shit or holding their hand. We are the most powerful country in the world and for all those who don't like it, his opinion is — YOU CAN KISS OUR ASS. Not saying Iraqi war is right but what do you think that Pansy Ass fucking Gore would have done?

He's made them work for it YES. No more free lunches without a little elbow grease. I mean look at Katrina victims still claiming they need help years later. And biotching because of the housing they have been given. I don't know if you went to New Orleans before the flood, but what they have now is much better than the slums they lived in before. But they think they deserve better. Their dumbasses should have known if you live below sea level there's a chance of going under. GET OVER IT. AND PLEASE GET THEM OUT OF HOUSTON.

    Re: NoMoKatrina – The only reason he hasn't been brought up on treason is because Congress is just as guilty as he is….of being a war-profiteer.

    If he can do anything he wants then why did he have to have Gonzales write up the torture memos? It was to cover his ass from the world court, much like Hilter made everything he did legal.

    What a tool! You don't even know what impact the war had on Katrina and the fact it was a federal power grab. Instead of offering federal assistance which was the usual routine when asked by the Govs….they held back assistance as an extortion to get their way. Just to give you a bigger clue….remember the 13 colonies? They would only agree to come together as a Union, if they were promised state's right supercede the fed's rights.

    Wake up! You don't even know what really happened in Katrina and how it applies to the Constitution. What a tool! Why don't you read something other than propaganda from Bush….you might learn something.

Nobody here reads Bush propaganda but we do see how our crime rate has increased significantly since Katrina, they have trashed any rent houses that were given for them to live in, and they still want more. Regardless of whether you like Bush or not he is the U.S. President and deserves that respect. That's why people have the choice to vote for their candidate.
