BARACK OABAM'S ATTORNEY GENERAL PICK HOLDER, QUESTIONABLE AT BEST

Barack Obama's choice for Attorney General is already stirring quite a lot of controversy even before he makes his way to Capital Hill and the conformation hearings that will take place after January 20.

Holder was the investigator in the Justice Department who gave a favorable recommendation to Bill Clinton on the pardon on fugitive Marc Rich who fled the country while being prosecuted for tax fraud and illegal oil dealings with Iran.

Holder also faced severe Congressional drilling as the responsible party at the Justice Department in recommending clemency for members of FALN, (Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional ,English: Armed Forces of National Liberation), a terrorist group responsible for 120 bombings in The United States from 1974 - 1983. Upon Holder's council Bill Clinton granted the clemency petition.

And as the vidieo above shows during the aftermath of the now infamous Elián González affair where a six year old boy was taken by gun point from his uncle and returned to his father in Cuba, Holder's dealing with the situation was very questionable.

Holder's denial of force, certain legal presedence and the pointing of a live amo weapon in the face of a six year old child, despite being shown the evidence to the contrary in the above video added to the general feeling among most Americans that then Attorney General Janet Reno, Holder and others in the government involved in the case looked like incompitant fools in the way the case was handled.

Holder is also known to have very strong anti Second Amendment views and his dealings in cases involving Second Amendment issues have shown a history of siding against gun owners.

This is the highly questionable history of the man who Barack Obama wants as Attorney General. Does the President Elect have no concern over the history of the people he is appointing because he knows that with an overwhelming Democrat majority in the Senate, as President, he will have a virtual free ticket with his appointees ?

So much for ,"change," and an administration that seeks a bipartisan approach. With an Attorney General like Holder the very far left view will be the direction given in legal matters from the Justice Department.
