Another Kommissar Of The Obama Regime Jumps Ship

From Fire Andrea Mitchell:

2:51 PM (5 hours ago)Another member of the Obama regime jumps ship – General James Jonesfrom Fire Andrea Mitchell! by adminI haven’t really paid much attention to politics most of my life, until the last 5 years or so. But in all the Presidents i’ve seen in my lifetime (From Nixon to Obama) i never remember so many members of an administration (or in this case a regime) jumping ship so quickly, and before the midterm election of a President’s first term. There had been rumors that General James Jones would quit before the end of the year after all the gory details of this incompetent of this regime came in in Bob Woodward’s book. Sure enough, it became official today. Jones will be replaced by former Carter/Clinton hack, Tom Donilon. The New York Times has more on Donilon.






Mr. Donilon began as a young political operative for President Jimmy Carter and later was chief of staff for Secretary of State Warren Christopher in the Clinton administration. He has long operated in the area between politics and national security. He coached Mr. Obama on foreign policy for his debates in the 2008 presidential campaign.


And, related from Michelle Malkin:

9:17 AM (11 hours ago)Out: James Jones; In: Tom Donilonfrom Michelle Malkin by Michelle MalkinThis one is no surprise: AP reports this morning that Obama national security adviser James Jones will announce his resignation today. He had been expected to bolt by year’s end amid controversy over his tough criticism of Team Obama in Bob Woodward’s latest book.




His replacement? Carter/Clinton operative Thomas Donilon:



Mr. Donilon began as young political operative for President Jimmy Carter and later was chief of staff for Secretary of State Warren Christopher in the Clinton administration. He has long operated in the area between politics and national security. He coached Mr. Obama on foreign policy for his debates during the 2008 presidential campaign.



As deputy national security adviser, he has urged what he calls a “re-balancing” of American foreign policy to rapidly disengage American forces in Iraq and to focus more on China, Iran and other emerging challenges. In the Afghanistan-Pakistan review, he argued that the United States could not engage in what he termed “endless war,” and has strongly defended Mr. Obama’s decision to declare that troops will begin leaving Afghanistan next summer.



Culture of Corruption readers know Donilon from his crony ties to Chicago subprime queen Penny Pritzer. He was also a top Fannie Mae lobbyist and consultant to financial giants Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.



Same old, same old.
