Samantha Power: from HKS to Obama Administration
by Forrest Dunbar on November 29, 2008 in Features
It certainly looks more likely, given the recent AP story. As the AP notes, and other commentators have pointed out, there is a particular irony in Power reviewing the very agency Clinton is slated to run.
Of course, our own Matt Homer placed her on Obama’s “HKS List” last week.
So where exactly will Power end up? Some have mentioned the UN Ambassador job, but that looks to be going to Susan Rice. More likely, she will receive a foreign-policy/national security advisor or deputy secretary job in DC. This would also allow Obama to bring down her husband, one Cass Sunstein, a potential pick for head of the OLS or Deputy AG and perhaps one day the Supreme Court.
