Eric Holder to step down

U.S. Attorney General Holder, a close Obama ally, to step down

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...0HK1QP20140925

God or bad for the Obama administration? I have no opinion but do remember the days from when Nixon resigned, one of the political commentators bemoaning that "we will not have him to kick around". May be the same with Holder and the baggers. Mr. Obama will be losing a close political ally, officially any way.

I think John Lewis said it best here


“His resignation is a great loss for any American seeking justice in our society,” said Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a legendary figure in the civil rights movement who spoke to Holder on Thursday. “He has been a persistent and consistent leader in the struggle for civil and human rights.’’ WaPo

Regarding Nixon, it was Dick himself who said to the press in 1960, "Well, you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." If only he had stayed true to his words.

Not sure if it's good or bad. But, I do know certain people are going to see this as an admission of guilt on a variety of issues.

Here it comes.

The nippleheads commenting at the Post are beside themselves. The sheer racism being expressed is beyond reason.

I hope Hillary appoints AG Holder to the SCOTUS.

A Black President and a Black Attorney general.

It's just been just too much for the Teabubbas to handle.

If someone calls them out for it, they try that 'I'm rubber, you're glue!' defense like a three year old on a Jolt cola high.
