Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has issued a blistering attack on President Barack Obama's appointments of Susan Rice and Samantha Power as top national-security and foreign-policy advisers.

Palin said that America was so screwed with the appointment of the two women to top posts in the country.

According to Politico the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee said in a Facebook post that the country is in a helluva ride after Obama named Susan Rice as his National Security Adviser and nominated Samantha Power to replace Rice as the country's U.N. ambassador.

Palin said of Power, an Irish-born, former journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, that her judgment in choosing her life partner is the least of America's worries.

Palin then cited a report in The Daily Caller claiming that in 2002 Power proposed forcing a peace deal on the Israelis and Palestinians, even if it alienated wealthy, pro-Israel American Jews.

She also said Power once compared U.S. actions abroad to those of Nazi Germany.

She also promised her followers that more information about Obama's new picks will be revealed in coming days.
