Update:

Exclusive: President Obama To Replace Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair

May 20, 2010 4:56 PM

ABC News has learned that President Obama will replace the Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis Blair (ret.) His resignation will come as soon as tomorrow, sources tell ABC News.

For several weeks President Obama has been holding serious conversations about whether to ask Blair to step down and has interviewed candidates to replace him. After a discussion this afternoon between the president and Blair in the Oval Office about the best way forward, Blair offered to resign and the president said he would accept, sources told ABC News.

Multiple administration sources tell ABC News that Blair’s tenure internally has been a rocky one.

Why, I wonder. Because he's pro-America, perhaps.

Holder stays.. Napolitano stays.. Blair must’ve been somewhat resistant to the Marxist regime and Obama simply won’t tolerate that.

This WAS at the Fox link several moments ago...it's no longer there.

President Obama will replace Blair, who will resign as soon as Friday, according to ABC News, which first reported the story.

Blair's resignation comes after a series of intelligence failures in the Fort Hood shooting, the failed Christmas Day bombing plot and the attempted Times Square bombing.
