WASHINGTON — A White House official says Tom Donilon is resigning as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser and will be replaced by Susan Rice.
Rice is currently the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. She has been harshly criticized by Republicans for her initial accounting of the attacks on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, which later proved to be incorrect.

Abandoning or “fired”? aka: “You can resign or be fired”.
Unstated....... why is he resigning?
Wow! Susan Rice is about as qualified to give the President competent National Security advice as she would be to give Ben Carson advice on pediatric brain surgery. Perhaps even less so.
Think of this change with the protection 0 can get by using Executive Priveledge

He either feels like all of the scandals have exposed him and he now has nothing to hide; or he feels like he now has concentrated his power over the government enough that he can now take of his mask.
The bigger question may be, what prompted Donilon to resign? What scandal is he involved with that we don’t know yet?
ALL nobama appointees and functionaries should be waterboarded, humiliated, shunned and deported. That is the only way to get this comnmie nest cleared.
Reward for BRAZENLY and KNOWINGLY lying to the American people!
Well, I certainly feel more secure already. We know that she will clamp down on those who make videos that cause mohammedans to behave like wanton savages.
He wants to spend time with his wife who has accepted a new job that requires a great deal of traveling out of the country!
You couldn’t make up a better story!
Just heard Bill Hemmer on FOX (while talking with Karl Rove) that O is going to start hitting HARD on the GOP ..this is the opening shot.
Maybe it is payback for her loyalty.
THis will blow up on Obama..The confirmation hearing for the new UN ambassador will turn into a de facto hearing on Rice..
Heard that. A cornered rat comes to mind... Fight/flight is setting in!
Hope congress is holding a big club!
I'm not so sure it works that way.
Oh don’t worry, she really isn’t gonna take over as NSA. That job will now be handled by that Jarrett broad that now handles everything else for Obama, freeing him up to play some more golf.
Must every day start with screaming at the TV???
am I actually in a deep sleep having a nightmare?
Seriously , she gets promoted when she lied about the deaths and the attack which led to the deaths !!!
Obama is just sticking his finger to the country , the constitution and the laws because he knows and understands that the media is still covering for him.
I have just spent all morning flicking news channels and not once as of yet CNN on either of their channels have mentioned any corruption, nothing about anything except useless stuff.
MSNBC is talking mostly about polls and how oabma has kept his numbers up and only FOX is talking about Rice, and the IRS and what is really happening in the country.
Obama and his thugs just move their sidekicks about knowing the cowardly GOP won;t do a damn thing except useless hearings.
Call a press conference, get every media outlet in there.
Mention the different corruption which is taking place.
Then end it with how some of you here in this media voted for Obama but maybe it is high time for you who have been covering for your vote to now understand that you need to put politics aside and inform the country of what and who is really running this country
Samantha was working as staff in the WH. She previously worked for his campaign. He’s distancing himself from her as he throws her underdabus !
She will no longer have the protection of EP but Rice will now fall in that catagory. Expect o to try to use it but do not expect judicial to back him up
That's the option I'm voting for. Hang on, folks.
