Power???
He really IS running out and reusing the dots whether they are appropriate for the position OR not!!
Yep, circling the wagons with Mrs. Sunstein.

Hmm ... not believing the spin but clearly the knives were out.
Last fall, as the administration prepared to find a new secretary of state to replace Hillary Clinton, I began a magazine story that was in part about Donilon and in part about the fact that, over the past decades, the roles of secretary of state and national security advisor have changed: Secretaries of state have taken on an ever more public role, while national security advisors have taken on ever greater control over the internal gears of the American foreign-policy machine.
The project was abandoned because, before it could be published, Obama had won the election and appointed John Kerry as his next secretary of state. There was, however, an unusual aftermath. Word had apparently spread through the administration that a story was being written about Donilon. Over the course of several months, a series of present and former officials approached me to ask when an article about Donilon’s power would appear and to urge that it be pursued.
“There’s a problem there, and it hasn’t been told,” said one current official of Donilon. In another instance, an official I had never met introduced himself and asked what had happened to the article about Donilon. One source said the National Security staff was “a snake pit.”
Donilon’s detractors, none of whom would speak on the record, are either now serving or have served in a variety of different institutions: at the State Department, the Pentagon, and in the White House. None of the sources are themselves in line for the national security position, and none appeared to have anything to gain if Donilon were to step aside.
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
