Former presidential adviser and extremist, Samantha Power, is Obama’s choice for US Ambassador to the UN. To give you an idea of how extreme she is, Power once said she wanted to invade Israel. She encourages shifting support from Israel to Palestine. She believes, as does Obama, that he must follow HIS values, not the will of the people.
Most problematic is the fact that Obama was not clear about his values before his election and re-election.
Her nomination is a slap in the face of Israel and the US electorate.
Power believes in talking to all enemies without military threats or actual action against them. She does not see the threat of radical Islam as the problem.
She is the former Chair of Obama’s new Atrocities Prevention Board (a Genocide Panel). This appointment was made immediately after Obama’s eloquent speech at the Holocaust Museum. {snip}
So what are the odds that the Senate approves? I would bet there will be some "tough" questioning during confirmation hearings, but in the end she gets confirmed with something like 80-85 votes. (Another one where I really hope that I am wrong.)

Her nomination is our just dessert. America voted for Obama.
