I read it Friday and kept thinking back to it. Today, I was listening again to an <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19320167" rel="nofollow">interview</a> of Samantha Power on NPR from a two weeks ago, before this latest kerfuffle came up when she called Hillary Clinton a monster. In this interview Power playfully refers to Sergio Vieira de Mello's youth when he threw rocks at police. Of course, de Mello grew up and ultimately headed the U.N. Mission in Baghdad and was killed in a bombing there. What struck me the first time I heard the interview when it was broadcast live was what a leftist she was and how she got in every dig she could at President Bush. There was, of course, no mention that she was an Obama advisor. When you listen to the interview, you can't help but question with what type of people Obama surround himself. How many more of his advisors are similar to this now former advisor? And what really would an Obama administration look like? On Friday, I was at a conference where Peter Ueberoff was speaking. One thing that is talked about at length was how fast things could change. When the Berlin Wall fell the world had only hints in the months leading up to it that it would happen, and officials within East German were completely without a clue as to the impending change. I'm not one prone to pessism. However, I have to say I'm very concerned about the leftist tendencies of those surrounding Obama. Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, and others who I would think should be concerned, are not. A lot of people are complaining about the length of the campaign. I for one, am grateful this time. The more time we have, the more time people like Ayers, Power, Retzo et al are going to be exposed. Perhaps that can help derail a "sudden change" that this country is not prepared for.
