NYT: White House Wants Holder to Resign
Newsmax ^ | 6/2/2013 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 06/02/2013 2:11:14 PM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie

Presidential aides are privately admitting to a growing frustration inside the White House with Attorney General Eric Holder’s political ineptness in the press leak investigations and are hoping the embattled appointee will resign from office, The New York Times reports.

“The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,” said an anonymous Democrat source, identified only as a former government employee who acknowledged the White House staffers in question are his friends.

President Barack Obama’s advisers are frustrated with Holder’s inability to foresee problems arising from his approval of a subpoena naming a Fox News reporter as a coconspirator in an espionage investigation. Now Congress is looking at whether Holder lied under oath when he testified last month that he knew nothing about the incident.

Joined late here. IMHO the Reps should shut dow everything. They should have done this before appointing Brennan and Hagel. Just gridlock everything. I don’t see any downside. It would force Obama to do something. Would love to see Holder arrested and jailed. He is a sissy little shit that has been involved in every sneaky Dem trick in the last 20 years. Him and Jaime Gorelic. Holder will make $millions if allowed to resign.

It is not. I wish that I could tell you that I have read the Bible, but as an honest man, I cannot say this. I have had problems with religion in my life, despite this I believe in Jesus Christ, I pray to Him, and I believe that he is active in our lives.

I also believe that Satan exists and is also active. I believe these people and the machine they have built are from Hell. I say this in all seriousness, it would not surprise me at all to discover that they are actually Satan worshippers in the literal sense.

I don’t know what the solution is or if there even is one, it may well be that we are at the point that only Jesus can save us.

What to do from here on out is always the big question. Usually we do not play politics well and wind up doing the stupid thing.

Political strategy has never been high on our to do list and hence we have paid and continue to pay a tremendously high price dragging the country down with our failed decisions.

There seems to be a difference of opinion in the White House. The Prez says he supports Holder completely. So who are these White House aides, and why are they sticking knives in Holder?

Are these structures indictable?

Can they plead the 5th?

If the White House resigns, do we need a new office/dormitory building for the First Resident?

You forgot:

Agriculture, more bureaucrats than farmers.
Energy, doesn't product a single BTU.
Interior, preoccupied with stopping commerce and growth.

From what I have seen so far, every single person in the Obama Administration who has stepped down has been replaced by someone even less competent than the original person. Should Holder step down, he will be replaced by someone of Elena Kagan’s caliber.

Tossing Holder under the bus, then standing at the podium stating with a straight face that everything’s OK now. It’s the Democrat way.

If a person suffers from terminal incompetency, a big key to staying afloat is to surround yourself with competent people in key positions. Unfortunately for Obama, he is too arrogant, too stupid, too proud and too racist to don even this most basic protection.

He will be remembered,if at all,for being a collosal disappointment to African-Americans and the far left,and I hope that the damage that he is doing to his own race is remembered and passed down to the next generation.

After150 + posts, you’re the only one who seems to see it my way—Holder’s holding out for a pardon. Obama’s stuck because if he offers it, the lid blows off.

I doubt zero picks any of the members of his cabinet any more than he picks his tzars.My impression is the guy is strictly there to campaign, give speeches, play with reggie and play golf.

I’ve said all along that Obama’s white house is full of ideologues who are there whether he wants them or not and he may not be able to force them out without bringing himself down with them.

That's the key...he can't get rid of screw-ups like any honorable person would do...his gang of court jesters might take offence and sing like a canary.
It would only take one key jester to spill the porotos and the entire sham Obozo regime would collapse.

He will give one if he can spin it. And that spin would be racist repubs forced his hand, so he must counter the witch hunting the only he can. He will make a little noise about how Holder cannot get a fair hearing in public as the GOP and yes, the media have poisoned the well.

You see? Not his fault. Had to be done to ensure fairness. The media then gets Repubs to trash as Holder said it himself. Issa was a disgrace or somesuch.

The MSM ignores the wiretaps, gets back to the evil that Repubs do, Obama gets rid of Holder, Holder goes on to a Million dollar private sector job lecturing on racism. The GOP says ‘we did what we could and it’s out of our hands...please send money.

Everyone wins! Except us.

Like this woman I used to know. She was ugly as hell, and would only hire women uglier than her.
