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.

“She gets promoted”

That’s what I call the obama “doubledown”. Think about it, everytime there are complaints about him or his people or what they do he does something like this to make it even more painful, just to stick it to us and dare anybody to do anything about it. Welcome to the (D)istrict of (C)hicago..

I think it’s more telling that the rats are abandoning the ship while they can.

As with the IRS, we need to take it all the way to the top and find out who is giving out the orders.

Quintessential jug-eared moron... “in your face”, overt, middle finger to America, arrogance. Other than the innate ability to lie, what possible experience could this POS have to be a national security advisor?

Susan Rice is not qualified to sweep the floors of the White House, let along be a “National Security Advisor”.

Although there is no confirmation process requiring Senate hearings, there is also no reason why the Benghazi Committee of the House of Representatives could not undertake to question Amb. Rice and, in effect, conduct their own confirmation hearings.

But that would take some initiative from Speaker John Boehner and that is certainly to exalt hope over experience.

National Security Advisor will work out fine as long as facts are not important.

Mr. Obama also plans to nominate Samantha Power, a National Security Council official, as Ms. Rice’s replacement at the United Nations on Wednesday.

The Marion Barry President appointing his cronies to high positions. Corruption and Cronies.

We is in charge now.

I don’t think it makes that much difference.

Suppose by some great good luck, we got John Bolton in that office.

Do you think that obumbler would listen to one word of his advice?

What we must do is find a way to zero out the power of zero so that no matter how many Marxists, crazies or what ever he surrounds himself with, it makes no difference.

One way that interests me is to put Durbin in jail for his part in the IRS interference in the election process for the senator from IL.

That would be a step in the right direction in getting socialists out of the senate.
