Mr. Obama is not an African-American in the common sense of that term and General Holder is descended from folks from Barbados.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Holder is being readied for the Supreme Court.

[Graewoulf]

What are the odds that Obama will appoint Holder to the SCOTUS?

Ginsburg has been looking frail lately - - - .

[Cubs Fan]

worst attorney general in US history.

[Dr. Pritchett]

“[Obama] winces at the prospect of a long confirmation battle...”

I’ll bet. Sounds like work. And we all know how much he hates that.

[spokeshave]

....and Jarrett is from Iran....?

Maybe like Lady Thatcher.....when on a visit to Saudi Arabia she was made an official "man"

So Jarrett is an honorary Afro-Iranian-American.

[mrsmith]

“an assist from Jarrett”
LOL!

Billy Clinton: first ‘black’ president.
B. Obama: first female president.

It’ll be a female.

Typical lefty comments, at article link. Needs some serious FReeping ;)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Don't see how they get someone confirmed before the new Congress is seated. Republican Senators ought to lock down or blow up the Senate before letting Reid ram someone through. "We'll consider your replacement just as soon as you comply with our subpoenas." I expect we'll have a replacement Attorney General by April or so.

And the fanciful idea that Holder could ever again be confirmed to anything, much less the Supreme Court, after being in, and being found in, contempt of Congress is just bizarre.

[Technical Editor]

This article was supposed to explain why he resigned? It didn’t go near that.

[rawcatslyentist]

He quit because his wife told him to?

I think he just wants to do a lil Ferguson kick burn smashy looty while the gettins good!

[Intolerant in NJ]

They want Holder out of the job and at least on his way to being forgotten before it becomes obvious to the public that the highest ranking law-enforcement official in the land lied to Congress about Fast and Furious under oath.....

[LucianOfSamasota]

Some legacy!

He’s Obama’s Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria.

[ConorMacNessa]

"Holder—described by associates as President Obama’s “heat shield” on race and civil rights—sprung it on the president over the Labor Day holidays."

Stopped reading after the improper tense - these people pontificate on all our - i.e. Americans - shortcomings, sins and our intrinsic evils - yet they can't even parse an irregular verb in the English language.

I hope Holder is put forth as a nominee for the Supreme Court. If there's anyone on the Senate Judiciary Committee with any balls, he'd have to answer some hard questions - questions he has dodged heretofore.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[blueunicorn6]

Holder is leaving because he’s worried about his health?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Maybe the BENGHAZI Committee is making him sick.

Attorney General Eric Holder QUITS! Obama’s Top Lawyer Fears Arrest Over False Flag

Wow. I couldn't finish the article. It's just a White House press release, dressed up as "a White House source told me," as if getting their lame litany of excuses is some kind of inside scoop.

Reading between the lines, Holder has become a huge political liability in an already-disastrous year. There are only two reasons why anybody leaves in the middle of an administration—either you can't wait to escape from them, or they can't wait to get rid of you.

[Revelation 911]

The keenly legacy-conscious Holder has never been in better standing, leaving on arguably the highest personal note of his tenure,

better standing ? - well, if better standing means an idle period between screw ups and fingers in our eyes, then maybe (if you don't count the Ferguson story.)

[sergeantdave]

Heinrich Holder is disappointed that he couldn’t organize his eizengruppen to murder Americans. Too many Americans with weapons who are willing to use them against this fascist regime. Der Just-Us fuhrer Holder tried to disarm us with fast and furious, but that blew up in his pinched face. So sad.

[Real Cynic No More]

This is all BS. It’s all coming apart. That’s why he’s announced he’s wuitting now. It’ll be months before he’s gone.
