Holder Sworn In as Attorney General
Eric H. Holder Jr. was recently named the nations 82nd Attorney General. When Holder was nominated for position,controversy arose concerning the role he played in the acquiescence of Marc Rich,a fugitive financier at the end of the Clinton Administration.
Holder, a former judge, prosecutor and deputy attorney general has a lengthy record of public service to help him prepare for his new job. Critics believe that Holder voted to acquit Rich only to please President Clinton.
The attorney general’s installation ceremony was held at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. President Obama made a point to say, Holder is more eager to criticise his boss than please him.
A joke was made about the basketball skills of Obama."Mr. Holder was asked to compare his basketball prowess to that of the president, he told the reporter: “I’m not sure he’s ready for my New York game." He later said that the President would never get to see his skills.
Holder said that “independence of mind that justice requires, never hesitating to take on members of his own party, including those to whom he owed his job.
I really don't know if Holder is the one for the job. If there is controversy surrounding him before he even had a chance to explain himself. I think that the critics won't let it rest. The media likes to create drama.

I agree with you, Holder may not be the one for the job. But, there has been contoversy around so many of Obama's choices that I am not suprised. Where is he finding these people? He should try to do a better job in his choices. Good job on the blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the both of you that Holder might not be the one for the job. As I don't think Obama is the right one for the job. That is apparent by these morons he keeps getting to run this country. Maybe he should steer clear of everyone before and find somebody new!
