WASHINGTON A White House official says Tom Donilon is resigning as President Barack Obamas 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.

Some bio:
Rice attended Stanford University, where she received a Truman Scholarship, and graduated with a BA in history in 1986. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.[9][10]
Awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, Rice attended New College, Oxford, where she earned a MPhil in 1988 and DPhil in 1990. The Chatham House-British International Studies Association honored her dissertation entitled, “Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979-1980: Implication for International Peacekeeping” as the UK’s most distinguished in international relations.[5][11]
Marriage, family, and early career[edit]
Rice married Canadian-born ABC News producer Ian Officer Cameron[12] in 1992 at the St. Albans School chapel.[13] They met as students at Stanford.[14] They have two children.[8][9][15]
Rice was a foreign policy aide to Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential election. She was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm, from mid-1990 when she received her degree from Oxford to early 1992 when she worked for the Clinton campaign.[16] Rice worked in McKinsey’s Toronto office for a time.[17]
Even though she served on the National Security Council under President Clinton, Rice seems to have slept through the last two decades. She is fanatically pro-UN and wants the United States to work closely with the United Nations in order UN+Ambassador+Susan+Rice+Testifies+House+Committee+ujZYem6 I2el Obama Surrounds Himself with the Most Extreme Appointees in American Historyto carry out all kinds of humanitarian and military actions, seeming unaware that the UN has never been supportive of US interests. They dont stop wars; they dont sanction terrorist regimes, and their internal corruption is so pervasive they cant even carry out humanitarian missions. But rather than hold the UN responsible for its obvious failings over the years, Rice blamed Bush for being unilateral and for stiff-arming our partners. She even sits on the board of the UN Fund for UNICEF, an agency which has been repeatedly caught giving aid to terrorists, and during the Cold War, assisting communist insurgents.
More seriously, she is overly cautious in regard to fighting terrorism. The former Ambassador to Sudan implicated Rice as the person who bungled the opportunity to take out Osama bin Laden when Sudanese officials offered him to the USA on a silver platter during the Clinton years.
She rejected their offer. Theres a good chance 9/11 could have been avoided if Rice had accepted the Sudanese offer. Apparently, even though she worked for the NSC, she didnt regard Al-Qaeda as a threat. No wonder we were hit on 9/11. And now shes our UN Ambassador? I wonder whose interests she will serve probably the UNs.
anyone seen the leadership of the GOP because I have not for some time?
The stupid party minus a couple of them are no where as usual,
CALL AND DEMAND ACTION GOP, I’m so F-IN sick of this crap and how the country has idiotic dumb voters and yes I have met a few and I question them when I see an obama sticker and not one has given me anything but either talking points or ignorance
it’s what the Chicago machine does.
They have a few insiders and they keep moving them about thus the messiah of theirs will never be held accountable and others take the fall.
This woman is not fit to be my travel agent let alone national security advisor
You have posted what I feel.
Frustration and disbelief at an administration which is sticking it’s finger up because they know the media is still covering for them .

And while Obama may enjoy moving Rice up as a thumb in the eye of his opponents, he risks even more political damage if more whistleblowers come forward at State or more e-mails are forced into the open that starts eroding Rices I-just-did-what-I-was-told defense. This administration is already facing a credibility crisis, and this wont help at all.

Isn’t the nsa personal staff and not requiring Senate confirmation?
She may as well start in on the fellatio side of things...geez bozo, just brilliant, is she the only one left you have something over?
I got up, turned the news on and saw this.
JUst what on earth is going on,I never thought I could have more of an in your face arrogant lot in my life.
Boy I might have disagreed with Bill Clinton and what he did but what oabma has done is way out of American politics
Actually, the regime is playing marxical chairs. The way this is played is, the players commit acts of treason, then the "music" starts consisting of rising choruses from conservative media. When it grows too loud, the players find new chairs to commit treason, the music lowers to a temporary din, and the game continues. Seems to me that no chairs are removed in this version...
Obama replacing lying liars who lie with new lying liars who lie.
He is a man so overwhelmed with spite that all he truly lives for is to agitate and incite anger. He lives to stand there and twist his opponents noses and he loves, I would say he LIVES for, their response of anger.
He relishes making others angry.
At his core this IS all he is, a spite controlled bitter man who only seeks to agitate and anger people.
Its like an addiction for him.
Gowdy coming up on Fox
Who told her to blame the video? The same people who say that the riots in Turkey are about a shopping center.
I would say that no matter who is giving NS advice to this president doesn’t matter, because he can’t comprehend it.
Once she starts that position she will fall under his umbrella of EP. He will try everything necessary to keep her from testifying before congress ... What does she know?
Donalon will leave the country and be unavailable soon! Convenient!
You gotta hand it to democrats. They never give in. they never stop fighting. They never compromise. They just plow ahead with their agenda and talking points. Republicans could learn something, but they won’t. They fight their own. They fire people, apologize, and cry and reach across the aisle and answer the absurd DNC talking point question setups from the media instead of keeping on message. It is just remarkable.
wow, can one wake up and snow get screaming and find that the country is in turmoil by a bunch of immature ,classless thugs who have no sense od decency what so ever and only care about their agenda and what they want not what is good for the country
I don’t know about you folks but I feel safer already. She’s pluperfect!
