Eric
Holder - Attorney General
Born
in 1951, Holder has held various legal positions in the government. Bill Clinton
appointed him to serve under Janet Reno, another famously inept Attorney General.
Probably
Holder's most infamous accomplishment was his intimate involvement with the attorney
for Marc Rich. Rich was convicted of tax evasion and fled to Switzerland. Via
Rich's wife and their attorney Jack Quinn, Holder worked out a deal where Rich's
wife would donate a huge amount of money to Bill Clinton's campaign. In exchange,
Clinton would give a presidential pardon to Rich, which Clinton did on his very
last day as president.
This dirty deal along with the terrible job by Janet
Reno may cause Rich some trouble in the confirmation process. However, the corrupt
democrats outnumber the Republicans.
Eric Holder will be another monumental
choice that shows Obama to be a hypocrite and liar.

03/14/2009 As predicted, Eric Holder is another Obama mistake:
"Though
this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things
racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially
a nation of cowards."
