As noted in a previous comment, her last name is "Power," not "Powers."
More substantively, in her piece, the following bullet point deserves serious (as it were) scrutiny:
The United States has not talked directly to Iran at a high level, and they have continued to build their nuclear weapons program, wreak havoc in Iraq, and support terror."
This is impressive. Not only does she ratify the unproven GOP talking point that Iran is wreaking havoc in Iraq (a neo-con claim which alternates rapidly with the claim that all the havoc in Iraq is from Al-Qaeda), she purports that Iran has an ongoing nuclear-weapons program. I don't believe that even the Bushies have made this claim, even if they suspect (not unreasonably, perhaps) that Iran's atomic-energy program is a cover-story for weapons work.
Obama, for all his considerable virtues, has a very bad habit of ratifying GOP talking points, especially regarding "partisanship" and "moral (read: religious) values," as noted here: http://www.correntewire.com/why_was_there_only_one_set_of_footprints_obama_was_carrying_god_again
