Comments on: Holder Is Obama's Attorney General Pick

Washington Attorney And Former Justice Department Deputy Still Needs To Be Vetted

[rhs648]

I think the change Obama brings is going from an anti-intelligence anti-credentials administration to one based on intelligence and credentials.

Call it Clinton if you want, but it''''s better than the past eight years of your reformed alkie trustfunder whack job who screwed up our country and led us into deaths, deficits, and destruction.

Surely you must be joking. Half of America coundn''t get rid of Clinton fast enough. He was agony for eight long years.

Where''s the "CHANGE" Obama promised?

This is looking more and more like Clinton part deux.

Question: The horrible GWB fired far fewer AGs than WJClinton. Will Holder be questioned about these mass firings while he was in power?
Posted by downsteamjim at 08:16 PM : Nov 18, 2008 err you ignore the fact that clinton made his firings at trasnistion points ie: when he assumed office and when he was reelected ,but primarily when he first assumed office , all presidents do that , they seldom remove their own appointees after appointing them in the first term they came on , which is what Bush did , Bush''s own republican appointees say he did it for political reasons on prosecutions . which is illegal, every reputable review of the firings say they were wrong as well as a majority of the hirings under Monica goodling which were supposed to be non political .. not that the actual fact of having an impartial and non partisan judiciary ever appeals to republicans ,its judicial activism, if its a ruling they disagree with,constitutional restraint if its one that overturns 30 yrs of precedent . jim your reasoning powers are suspect , but your committment to ideology not in doubt

LOL.. Obama is not in the house until Jan 20. Alot can happen before then.

[mckkkain]

Suck_it Republicans. Obama is in the house now.

[smclimans]

Two schools of thought here:


1)

For the last eight years, all I heard from liberals who
relentlessly criticized Bush, was that "DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC"

Okay

So I WILL be patriotic for the next four years
by dissenting against Obama



2)

Not to worry liberals,
we conservatives will give Obama the same "respect"
that you liberals gave George Bush.

Refreshing to see someone chosen in a political organization for reasons other than ''pardoned in the Iran/Contra case''...

And a third term of Bush is better!? That is exactly what we would get if McCain and Quayle-in-drag were elected instead.

Looks like the third term of the Clintons, I thought BO was about change, well the only thing the American people will have will be change when he gets through.
BO is changing. His change is from one hand to the other.

I am so glad that the Clintons are now back in power.

Probably getting everything in place to pardon to Tony Rezko (among others).

tj217, what is awkward about an intelligent, articulate leader hiring an equally intelligent, experienced attorney for an open position?

[inventagod2]

I do not expect miracles, but Obama and his cabinet may even make the most hardened CBS Bu$h apologists look at black people as powerful, distinguished citizens for once in American history...

[timothyone-2009]

Being black and highly intelligent, I doubt he''s a latent Nazi-Republican-Neocon-greedmeister. I say give him a try.
