Fox Hosts Question ‘Curious Timing’ Of Susan Rice Replacing National Security Adviser: She ‘Misled’ Nation

There’s a shakeup to the Obama administration’s foreign policy team, according to reports this morning. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon has resigned, and UN Ambassador Susan Rice — of Benghazi Sunday show fame — will assume his role. In reporting the news, the Fox & Friends crew recalled how Rice “mislead” the country and questioned the timing of the switch. The post does not require Senate confirmation, and Donilon is expected to remain on the job until early July. ( Samantha Power , a former National Security Council staffer, will replace Rice.) Steve Doocy reminded viewers that Rice was the one who appeared on the Sunday shows following Benghazi and “misled the nation.” “That will be interesting as it’s dissected over the day,” Gretchen Carlson chimed in, “because a lot of people will think the resignation has interesting timing based on the fact people are asking, where has Tom Donilon been through a lot of these situations that have been going on, specifically Benghazi.” It’s “very curious timing,” Doocy added, given the news cycles focusing on the administration’s scandals — “regarding Benghazi, and the IRS, and the Rosen and AP case.” “And now what are they doing? Changing the subject,” he said. “Hey, Tom Donilon is out. We’ve got Susan Rice. We’re starting over.” Take a look, via Fox News:

After President Obama appointed U.N. ambassador Susan Rice to be his national security adviser, ABC's Good Morning America lauded Rice on Wednesday as "hard-nosed" and "no-nonsense." Rice's biggest knock against her nomination for Secretary of State was giving false information on the Benghazi attacks to no less than five different Sunday talk shows just days after the attacks. ABC, though, was sympathetic to her nomination last fall, describing the GOP opposition as a " buzz saw " and glossing over the fact that what she said was, actually, false . read more

Senior Romney adviser Ed Gillespie was caught off guard Wednesday when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked him how long Romney’s budget proposal would take to balance the national budget: BLITZER: How many years would it take for the Romney budget to result in a balanced budget? GILLESPIE: Uh…Wolf, I’m not sure of that myself, actually. I’ll get that to you though and I’m sure it’s on our website. I should know it and I’m embarrassed on your air that I don’t have that number at the top of my head. I didn’t know we were going to talk about that today. I apologize. I should have prepared for that question. I didn’t know you were going to ask. Watch it: Gillespie didn’t have the number on hand because, as Romney himself said in March , his budget plan “can’t be scored” and is missing key details about which deductions it would eliminate. Romney’s running mate Paul Ryan failed to answer the same question a day earlier, telling Fox News’ Brit Hume, “I don’t know exactly what the balance is. I don’t want to get wonky on you, but we haven’t run the numbers on that specific plan.” The Romney budget requires even harsher cuts in entitlement programs than Ryan’s radical House-endorsed plan. Ten-year cuts in spending would range from one-third deeper than those in the Ryan budget to almost twice as deep as the Ryan cuts, with potentially disastrous consequences for low-income and middle class Americans — including taking food stamps away from as many

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, arriving in Israel with wife Ann on July 28, would "respect" a unilateral strike by the Jewish state against Iran to keep it from developing nuclear weapons, a top adviser said Sunday. (AP) Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would “respect” a unilateral Israeli strike against Iran to keep the country from developing nuclear weapons, a top Romney adviser said Sunday. “If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing that capability the governor would respect that decision,” foreign policy adviser Dan Senor told reporters in Israel during the candidate’s visit to the Jewish state, CNN reported . According to Politico , Senor said keeping the threat of a military strike on the table represents the best chance for peace. “The governor believes that at this point the only thing that could focus and force the minds of the Iranian leadership on ending their nuclear weapons, their path to a nuclear weapons capability, is the belief that the alternative is far worse,” he said. The Romney campaign subsequently issued a clarification from Senor saying the former Massachusetts governor “believes we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian regime from its nuclear course, and it is his fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so.” “In the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded. Gov. Romney recog
