    Monster's Bawl: Obama Decries Power's Clinton Slam

    "Barack Obama forced to decry adviser's 'monster' remarks of Hillary Clinton " from NY Daily News reports that Senator Barack Obama has had to distance himself from foreign policy adviser Samantha Power's description of Senator Clinton as a "monster" - and other unflattering comments.  Power is a Pulitzer Prize winning Harvard prof and an unpaid adviser to the Obama campaign.

    UPDATE;

    "Obama adviser resigns after comment" from AP

    Reporter not sorry about Power's problem - MSNBC "First Read"

    In her statement, Power said her comments "do not reflect my feelings about Sen. Clinton, whose leadership and public service I have long admired."

    She said she apologizes to both Clinton and Obama.

    "I should not have made these comments, and I deeply regret them. It is wrong for anyone to pursue this campaign in such negative and personal terms."

    Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, "Sen. Obama decries such characterizations, which have no place in this campaign."

    Burton did not reply to the Daily News when asked whether Power would continue to serve as an Obama adviser.
