Holder should RESIGN! We need to force this...
From arguing on defense of NOT investigating and prosecuting any Cheney/Bush from torture, domestic spying, to gross corruption in government contract; together with arguing against DOMA, Don't Ask, Don't Tell...Holder has shown himself to be the antithesis of all thing Democratic or anything that even hints at justice. Obama has made one of the worst choices in his career by selecting this man.

Obama will not cut him loose on his own, that would make it appear that he might be at fault or fallible. What needs to be done, for Obama to save face, is for ALL of those who voted for him to inundate the Whitehouse with emails, phone calls, faxes, and written letters demanding Holders removal. It will be painful, but Obama can say that it is the will of the people and that Holders' effectiveness will be greatly diminished, as well as that of the DoJ if he stays on. they hug, and Holder can say it was an honor, but personal family obligations require his full-time attention. AND that will be a great benefit to to the administration and America!

It would further serve the important goal of putting Obama on notice, that we, who elected him expect him to get back on track to fulfill some of the many promises he made during the campaign. Is that really to much to ask of him?

1. You realize, of course, in the real world outside your mind and wants and opinions
that this is never going to happen?

5. It's also not an impossibility that I might win the Powerball lottery,
but I'm not quitting my job just yet.

The first stanza of the Serenity Prayer goes:

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

It's the "wisdom to know the difference" with which many have a problem. Just because I really, really want to win the lottery and really, really believe I deserve to win does not realistically mean it will happen. Reality is a female dog.

If calling odd were space and distance, then a long shot might be the moon. This is in a galaxy light years away.

3. Never Happen
Besides as most will tell you it's only been 5 months. Not sure what the time limit is on doing the right thing for the right reasons, but I'm just guessing it's more then 5 months.

Perhaps someone can tell the rest of us, when will it be time to be concerned? 8 months, 10 months, November 2011? When?

There is all this talk about give him time, well as time goes by memories will fade, evidence will be shredded, and new legal BS will spew once again form the Department of "Justice". But the war criminals will get away the torturers hiding behind their CIA credentials will retire and write a book, the NSA will continue to "inadvertantly" listen to your conversations and read your e-mails.

But it's only been 5 months and besides he isn't as bad as Bush, YET!!!!!

4. I'm thinking after the "six-month" period there will be a lot of shuffling
and dismissals. Like any start-up business, and this is a lot like one, it takes about six months to see how personnel are working out in their positions. I'd like to see him gone too.
