Attorney General Holder heads to Zurich, Switzerland tomorrow to lobby to bring the World Cup to the U.S. in 2022.
Justice Dept. says Holder is making the trip to Zurich at the request of Pres. Obama to show US commitment to host World Cup in 2022.
Pres. Obama lost U.S. effort in '09 to host 2016 Summer Olympics. WH hopes Holder's mission to Zurich doesn't end up a Swiss miss.
Perhaps we'll find out more about the World Cup mission from Holder's cables in the next WikiLeaks document disclosures.
Wikileaks founder was considering asking Switzerland for political asylum.
Because Holder is such a cuddly “people person”.
Obama probably has it in the bag. Holder would get credit and save his job. The TERRORIST TRIAL FIASCO has put enormous pressure for Obama to dump Holder.
Will someone please point out the relevant passage in the US Attorney General’s job description that covers lobbying for games to come to the US?
This is utterly ludicrous.
With everything that’s happening on the domestic front, Obama sends the US AG on a punk-ass mission like this????
Good Lord....
2022? Even President Palin won't have any need to be bothering herself about an event that won't happen until she's two years out of office.
This is insanity...
If I smoked dope 24/7 for 40 years, I still don’t think I could get my mind in sync with how these people think.
W - T - F !!!
AP is confirming - I had to google to make sure. This is beyond comprehension. I feel like I’ve had some sort of psychotic split and am no longer seeing reality. The absurdity of it all is too much to believe.
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Jeeeeeze!!!
Right .. just the job for the highest law
enforcement official in the land, especially
in time of war, and unprecedented leaked
state secrets, not to mention DOJ criminality
in the New Black Panther case, and the civil
trial of a brutal terrorist gone awry.
Sure ..
This gang can’t even load a gun, never mind
shoot straight. We are now the laughing stock
of the world, and weak and more at risk than ever.
God save us. End the madness!
This move only panders to Latinos since professional soccer isn't popular in the States outside that community. In 12 years how much larger will their influence be? I suppose CA will be recaptured by Mexico, sure, but how does Lobbying for World Cup benefit the USA? /s
That would be the middle of his fourth term. When he ran in 2008 I figured his goal was to become President-for-Life, like Fidel, Mugabe, and Hugo Chavez. After the rise of the tea party movement, I decided he probably wouldn’t be able to get around the two-term limit. This suggests he may still hope to stay in office more than 8 years. He’ll need at least one more liberal justice to be sitting on the Supreme Court to get around the 22nd amendment. Maybe he expects to be able to appoint that person in his second term.
BS this is cover for something.... Who sends the AG to get an World Cup?? Well.....Maybe the idiotic Obama admin...
Maybe he’ll take the New Black Panthers with him.
It’s Holder because he knows how to blow the vuvuzela.
I knew we were getting a doctrinaire commie when Zero won the election. I guess I didn’t realize we were getting a doctrinaire commie with the psychological maturity of a 14-year-old boy.
Ok, that seals the deal, he is certifiably insane and I’m not joking.
The only explanation I can think of is that this is a cover for Holder’s true reason for going to Switzerland.

BINGO!
You’re right and they are pissing me off so much it would be a cold day in hell before I voted for one unless his name was Allen West and even then, I’d be leery.
Beyond insanity. That entire administration is like One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest.
