Summary
[edit]| Description |
Ambition is a trait most politicians share, regardless of what they aspire to do with it. Luckily, Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, a consummate politician, also possesses a moral compass. While at Harvard Law, the Irish born, American raised scholar decided her academic research on America’s role in genocide, from the Holocaust to Armenian genocide to Darfur, merited a book. In 2002, she published A PROBLEM FROM HELL, which promptly became a Pulitzer Prize Winner and caught the attention of human rights advocates to politicians, including a then young Senator, named Barack Obama. The two policy wonks formed a friendship. Soon after, Power went from working outside of the belly of the beast to becoming a key member of President Barack Obama’s cabinet. Today, she holds three jobs. She is part of President Obama’s staff and, eventually, Ambassador to the UN and part of the UN Security Council. In our conversation, which was recorded live, Power deftly reveals the vision, discretion, and drive to navigate the red tape endemic to working within bureaucratic institutions. We spoke about the job perks of being a political appointee, be it subsidized housing in the plush Waldorf hotel to the relative freedom she experiences to carry out her goals. She also captivated the audience, which included a number of UN personnel, with her humor, accessibility, and dance moves. Yes, she did break dance and it was the best way one could spend the GOP debate. |
