Eric Holder will become America's first black Attorney General. He has a pretty good reputation as the deputy attorney general to President Bill Clinton. So, he shouldn't run into any obstacles when it comes time to confirm the appointment.Except for maybe just one possible issue according to a report from the NY Post:
" In the past week, Obama aides have asked Senate Republicans whether they would support Holder. In particular, the aides questioned whether Holder's confirmation would be delayed because of his involvement in the 2001 pardon of fugitive Marc Rich by President Bill Clinton."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:

Some folks have been pretty disillusioned with the fact that Obama is picking so many people from the Clinton administration. I say that it is Barack Obama who is at the helm. As long as he produces some positive change, I'm all for it.
