"How about a non-politician but still someone that understands the science and how to communicate and inspire the public to the wonders of space.

I'd put in Steve Squyers."

Running an agency is being a politician [appointed- not elected by the people].
If that news report is true. Which mainly means are the quotes accurate and the context is understood [so this requires judgment I can't make from what I know], then Obama should immediately act. What Obama actually does is dependent on political judgment, but the result should to get Griffin out of power. So that Obama's team have a chance of getting all relevant data to make informed decisions.
Appointing a temp replacement, who is part of Griffin current leadership team is the best solution. The temp replacement
should be someone with a cool head- not necessarily brilliance.
