Obama Names Susan Rice to Nat’l Security Post

 WASHINGTON (AP) _ There’s a significant shakeup to the White House foreign
policy team.
 
President Barack Obama’s national security adviser is resigning — a move that
had been expected sometime this year.
 
 Tom Donilon will be replaced by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. A White House
official says former aide Samantha Power will be chosen to replace Rice at the
U.N.
 
 Rice 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.
 
 Power is a longtime Obama adviser who worked on his 2008 presidential campaign
and ran the human rights office in the White House. She left the administration
in February but was considered the favorite to replace Rice at the U.N.
