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.

Yep...they are protecting their own..and obviously so.

Can she be subpoenaed now in the position of Nat’l Security ?

Good analogy.....and all to insulate Bo ...

...just when you thought things were being handled in the worse possible way, this critical task is now passed down to one of the worst and most dangerous members of the Obama cabinet. where is Clintoon’s Sandy Berger when you need him...ugh!

look, i’m not saying I disagree with any of you, I think they should all be arrested for treason. but, you have to look at it in this way.
this is such a dictatorship, that no one has free will, so no matter who he puts in there, they’ll just be taking orders.
read rise and fall of the third reich. hitler constantly appointed incompetants that only knew how to take orders. if he appointed anyone of intelligence, they got sacked as soon as they acted against his wishes.
it is no different here

And Obama, for one, fits both of those criteria!

She’s been put there only to be able to be shielded from congres and to claim executive privilege if she was compelled to testify on Benghazi.

“Tom Donilon is resigning as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser and will be replaced by Susan Rice.”

Mmmm...kay.....One small question: How is she qualified for this post, exactly ?

Yeah, I know. I’m a racist for asking. (SARC!)

He loves the women and the minorities don’t he? That’s been working out so great the last few years hasn’t it? I mean we have Holder, Rice, Jarrett, Sebileous(sp) , had Clinton, Napolitano. Whatever happened to a little diversity Obama?

[kelly4c]

Yeah for an important post like this what are her qualifications besides being black and female?

[kelly4c]

You my FRiend hit it on the head with that perception.

Gender and race aside , he seems to pick people who will perform badly. Is that deliberate? I believe it is.

He picks people who are weak who will do his bidding.

This is actually making me smile. Rice, Powers - those propositions are giving me a warm feeling. I believe a lot of people are misreading those moves. I believe the fact of the matter is, there is no one else. He has no one else. Think about it. When was the last time there were mazes of puff-piece articles on people who couldn't wait to work for the Obama Regime, couldn't wait to take office, show up for work. A long time by my reckoning. An exodus began well before the first term was over. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence bailed out back to their less elevated position in life a long time ago and some even seemed thankful for it. The complaints that personally reached my ears were that there was initially enthusiasm to work for what amounted to in their eyes a black Bill Clinton - they were sold on Obama being the youngish, charismatic, "D.C. outsider" guy like Clinton in '92, who was gonna shake up the establishment status quo. Well, reality set in on what the Obama gang is and is not, realized that they got sold a load of feces, and got the hell out of there. The circle of trustworthy cronies is very small for the Obama regime - they don't have much they can choose from. That situation can very exploitable. In a perfect world, Congress could work at stripping away what help is left to Obama and make his agenda essentially inert for the rest of his term. Maybe not totally halt it but darn sure take the steam out of it. Sure, he could appoint and nominate others that are not as close, but that doesn't appear to be a risk willing to be taken since they are not "family", so to speak, and also trying to get anyone on board and fitted in up to speed at this point in time would only increase the chaos inside the regime and add to the inertial breakdown of any number of agendas already in progress. This is another act of circling the wagons, with a dwindling pool of insider staff to do it with. It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

C’mon. We KNOW who is giving the orders: it’s either VJ or BHO himself. Proving it will be nearly impossible because his protective web covers a lot of territory. I would be willing to bet that there is someone above HIM pulling the strings.

[fivecatsandadog]

Exactly. Seems to be the MO of many narcissists, including my ex-husband. The only time I saw him laugh was after he pi$$ed someone off. He LOVED it.
