Bounce, bounce, bounce, it’s going to be a foreign policy shift.

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments

At some points, the people the Obama campaign hire make you wonder if every single capable politico in America is not returning phone calls.  After globally minded Samantha Powers, then the campaign’s senior advisor on foreign policy, told a Scottish reporter that Hillary, then very much still in the race, was a “monster” bound to “stoop to anything”, [...]
