Obama Eyes Gov. Deval Patrick to Replace Eric Holder at Justice
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | Wednesday, May 15, 2013 | Michael Sneed

Sneed is told that Attorney General Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder’s days are numbered.

Sneed hears President Barack Obama, who is this/close to Holder, has set his sights on Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as a possible replacement “when the heat dies down on the latest hot-button scandals to hit the U.S. Justice Department,” said a top White House source.

“The president will wait until the heat dies down — and a little time has passed beyond that — before he does anything to Holder because Holder is a close pal, and that’s a big deal in the White House,” said a top Dem source. “Holder is also a close buddy of Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,” the source said. “Obama knows a change has to be made, but he wants Holder to leave with his reputation intact.”

Patrick served as the template for Obama's campaign.

Hard core, open borders, pro-quota leftist elected with the connivance of the mainstream media, despite a fundamental lack of qualifications.

And Holder is the kind of weasel who won’t go under the bus quietly...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish that were true. I’d love to see Eric get the axe and then start dropping dimes on the Obama Regime.

It does seem that way. All the grievance groups feel like once one of their own 'kind' occupies an office any but their own 'kind' appointed to that office is ground lost.

Sick minds.

Makes sense. Patrick covered up the Mosque that
led to the Boston Atrocities.

Perfect choice for the Hasan-Obama Wing of the DNC.

I don’t want the heat to die down. I want it turned up, and I want to see Holder on the hot seat at least once a week. At the least, he epitomizes buffoonery at its apex.

"Former"?

He's still there, though sometimes it doesn't seem like it.

He's basically an empty suit.

Well I guess barry had to pick someone who hearts the mooslems as much as he does. Unbelievable.

Holder, reputation? Is that supposed to be a joke?!

These people really need to get out more, mingle amongst the little people!

Why does the DOJ have to be run by a black panther? Can’t he find the right bull dyke or fudge packer to do the job?
