The Liberal Standard
BARACK Obama's White House ambitions were rocked yesterday when one of his top aides was forced to quit for branding Hillary Clinton "a monster".
Foreign policy adviser Samantha Power resigned after an interview in which she said Senator Clinton would stop at nothing to beat Senator Obama in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Ms Power, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Harvard professor, resigned after her unguarded comments sparked a controversy in the White House race.
Senator Obama, who is vying to be the first African-American US President, has promised his campaign would rise above personal attacks and be about new politics.
The scandal erupted as Senator Clinton's camp sought re-runs of the deadlocked Florida and Michigan primaries.
Ms Power was quoted as saying: "She is a monster, too - that is off the record - she is stooping to anything.
"In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win.
