Mon 12 Dec 2008Power returns: former adviser rejoins Obama's team
SAMANTHA POWER, Harvard professor and adjunct professor of law at University College Cork, who was forced to resign from Barack Obama's presidential campaign last spring after calling Hillary Clinton "a monster", has joined the president-elect's transition team. In her role she will be advising the incoming administration on national security agencies, including the state department, which Mrs Clinton is set to head.
Ms Power is listed on Mr Obama's transition website as part of the team reviewing national security agencies and it is likely that she will work directly with Mrs Clinton, a potentially awkward situation for the two women.
