AP source: Tom Donilon resigns as Obama national security adviser, Susan Rice to take over
The Washington Post ^ | June 5, 2013 | AP

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.

This is what America wanted, this is what they voted for. The Marion Barry President appointing his cronies to high positions. Corruption and Cronies. We is in charge now.

It is what is referred to as "Black Run America" (BRA). Google it.

Issa, Gouty, Camp, Chaffee etc are the ones with the power! They are supported by other very capable congressmen including mine, Young!

Dream on. Girly man Boehner will stop any real effort to bring Obama to justice.

Most of what we are seeing is simply political theater. The cold hard reality is that little will change until many of the RINOs defeated by Tea Party candidates.

The evil GOP-e lusts for raw power just as badly as does the left. The Constitution means absolutely nothing to Boehner and McConell.

Just what are her qualifications for this posting [appointment]?Same as all other appointments.

She will continue to lie for Obama as he reaches down and pats her on the head (all the blacks in Obama's fiefdom are just slaves to him) plus this:

They all fit Valerie Jerrett's (Muslim Brotherhood bigwig WHO IS OBAMA'S BRAIN ala Rove/Bush) agenda for pushing the Islamic Jihadic takeover of America with Sharia law and the whole ball of pig fat.

And don't forget Obama's friend, the domestic terrorist Wm. Ayers who called for the wiping out of 25 million Americans.

Who wants to bet they will be 99%Christians/Teapartiers/Patriots?

How many Islamic terror supporting muslims in Obama's administration now?

Obama must have promised her a promotion for making the Sunday talk show round with a pack of lies about a video ‘causing’ the ‘spontaneous’ attack.

Should couldn’t get Sec State, because it was still too hot...

He may have been one of many in the chain starting at Obama and down the line to blur Obama’s responsibility for the murders of the Americans in Benghazi.

So how many of these could be deemed murders?

Hint, start at the top: Obama watched these citizens being murdered in real time and he could have stopped it.

But the ambassador had to die as he knew about the illegal Mideastern “fast and furious” implication of giving arms to the Al Qaeda run rebels in Libia.

No wonder all of those that escaped are being kept sequestered from the media under threat of great bodily harm if they squeal on the Lord of the Flies Obama.

Is Obama catching up with Clinton on the number of people that have died from fear that Obama will be exposed for all of his various treasonous actions?

What in the world does this woman know about “National Security?” She can’t even tell a terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi from a clownish movie.....

Nope, don’t confirm her, never. Her political career should be over, as a rejoinder to Obama.

I worked in Washington DC., back when Walter Washington was Mayor. (long time ago)
Walter Washington was a decent fine man. His wife taught school in the District. Really good people.

Then came Marion Barry The Dashiki clad Afro wearing Community Organizer and head of Pride Inc.

Under Barry more blacks came into higher offices,(qualified or not).Blacks were given major contracts. Whites would front a black, put them in business to get a contract. The black was the owner in name only. When we complained about reverse racism in promotions, and assignments the word was “We is in charge now”. That is where it comes from

As you can easily see with Obama the Community Organizer much the same is happening in our country. Reverse racism, incompetence, corruption. Cronies serving in high positions, his friends getting contracts and “Green” Money.

Yep-——— We is in charge now.

And the country goes to hell.

i saw it in a report somewhere recently that (a) this change was suspected as comming, (b) the outgoing NSA’s position vis-a-vis “intervention” in Syria was unknown but (c) Rice was believed to be much in favor of it.

So, Rice who had no problem mouthing the idea that protests over a video were the cause celebre that kicked off the terrorist assault in Benghazzi, now heads to NSA to support the Islamist “opposition movement” (Sunni/Saudi-Wahabi-Sunni/MB Islamist putsch) in Syria.

You didn’t get the memo.

All Democrats are automatically the smartest, most qualified, and most experienced person in the world for whatever job they are assigned to. Don’t believe me? Ask any journalist in the MSM. They’ll tell ya!

“And don’t forget Obama’s friend, the domestic terrorist Wm. Ayers who called for the wiping out of 25 million Americans.”

At it’s core that’s what Obama care is all about (in addition to the government gobbling up an industry that is near 20% of the economy.)

“Research work conducted on Whitehead has included that of Stella Randolph, a journalist–educator inspired and informed by aviation buff Harvey Phillips in the 1930s and supported by Professor John B. Crane’s articles from 1936–1949. Researchers from 1963 and forward have included: Major William O’Dwyer (ret.) of the U.S. Air Force Reserve in cooperation with the Connecticut Aeronautical Historical Association (CAHA); Harold Dolan, a Sikorsky Aircraft engineer and vice president–secretary of the CAHA.”

courtesy “Legacy” section at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Whitehead#References

Sikorsky Aircraft (part of United Technologies today, is located in Stratford Connecticut.

Connecticut is “bringing it home” me thinks.

In addition to Whitehead, Igor Sikorsky, the founder of Sikorsky Aircraft in 1923, had a number of his own aviation firsts.

Sikorsky designed and flew the world’s first multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft, the Russky Vityaz in 1913, and the first airliner, Ilya Muromets, in 1914. (he was Russian, lived in Russia at the time and immigrated to the U.S. in 1919). And later developed and developed the first of Pan American Airways’ ocean-conquering flying boats in the 1930s. In 1939 Sikorsky designed and flew the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300,[3] the first viable American helicopter, which pioneered the rotor configuration used by most helicopters today. Sikorsky would modify the design into the Sikorsky R-4, which became the world’s first mass-produced helicopter in 1942.

Not to be picky but your analogy is flawed. I would say it would be like her giving advice on pediatric brain surgery to Johnny Carson (if he were still live) after which Johnny would go perform some operations.
****************************************************************
I agree. You correction of the analogy more accurately fits the situation with Susan Rice as National Security Advisor to our fearless leader Barack.

How very true.

Osama Bin Laden in 2001 on Sept 11 struck a powerful blow to our financial system.

Now Obama has taken the torch from him and is doing the same thing, just a different method.

Just as insidious, and just as much a terrorist act as what Bin Laden did.

It might come as no surprise to promote someone who may know too much if she isn’t kept happy
