We get the government that we deserve and voted for. It's part of the fallout of having a bunch of low information voters.

That's what I've always thought. You can tell from the speeches he gives,
like he's practicing for the big stage.

No kidding...I guess we've always got to be careful what we ask for. Deval Patrick doesn't look good for the pro-2A crowd.

Articulate doesn't hold much water if you're blinded by bigotry. He is just articulating justice as he sees it through the lens of color.

That's what you get when a bunch of progressives want to control the young minds through running public schools and the agenda of the DOE, nationwide.

Very low information voters, rewriting history, according to Michelle Obama.

Perfect time to bring up all Holders faults, with trying to appoint a successor. I bet it gets held off until after November and then with the Senate in jeopardy, early 2015 after the new Senate is in place.

Yes, a legend in his own mind as they say...

Funny, it was Ronald Reagan - you know, a Republican, who gave him his first
appointment as a judge in DC.

If Holder had been fair and not reeked of impropriety, I don't think Republicans or anyone else for that matter would have pounced on him the way they did IMO. He had it coming.

I do not think AG Holder is uppity (whatever that means) at all. Nor do I think he is a bigot.

On the contrary, he is polite, well-educated, very refined, obviously intellectual, and by reputation, a very nice guy. He did quite well at in the private sector and I suspect he will again.

He simply was not a particularly good AG. He refused to take responsibility for his actions and he used the office as a weapon for his own goals rather than those of the nation. I would not doubt that a lot of that was done at behest of the President. Does not make it good policy.

Hey, he's human. He is neither the first nor the last to fail at something. Good luck to him.

Just a reshuffling of the deck chairs if you ask me.
Here's all you need to know.
