Samantha Power Confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations

HeadlineAug 02, 2013

The Senate has confirmed Obama nominee Samantha Power as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Power served as Obama’s senior foreign policy adviser during his first run for the White House before being forced to resign for calling Hillary Clinton a “monster.” She won a Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for her book, “A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide.” Progressives have accused Power of selectively ignoring U.S.-backed abuses while supporting humanitarian intervention abroad.
