Attorney General Eric Holder said that his biggest failure during his time as head of the Justice Department was failing to pass expanded gun control laws and criticized former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for his negative characterizations of the president during an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” on CNN.
“I think the inability to pass reasonable gun safety laws after the Newtown massacre is, for me, something that I take personally as a failure, and something that I think we as a society should take as a failure” he stated when asked what he considered his greatest failure.

Holder, your biggest failure is being a shill for 0bola.
H0lders failure is to follow the Law, not write The Laws.
Why doesn’t he remind the folks of his failure to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman? He sure promised it a lot to the Obama voters but it looks like he’ll slink out the door hoping they’ll forget.
I’m sorry, can someone please remind me exactly what role the Attorney General plays in the legislative process?
Um, an AG doesn’t pass anything. He is “supposed” to enforce the law of the land.
Of course power-hunger commies don’t understand this.
Too bad your production of “Newtown” didn’t do the trick.
Hey, don’t discount your racism, hidden hate, narcissism, dislike of things American, and confident ignorance.
Based on the last 6 years the AG’s job is to pick and choose which laws he likes and enforce those.

Holder's idea of gun control is sending assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels resulting in a few hundred dead Mexican citizens along with a U.S. Border agent.
Fast and Furious was supposed to be the basis for new gun control.
Nice self control.
Uh....fast and furious....guns....illegally sent to Mexico...by him....with hundreds, if not thousands, of many innocent people...killed. Oh well, glad to see he has such a well-formed conscience and understands the subtle nuances of gun-control by the government, which by the way, in the 20th century, meant more than a hundred million mostly innocent people killed, primarily by the communists. This man, and his boss, should be tried for treason and face whatever punishment subsequent comes to them. If not in this world, surely the next.....
Gun running into Mexico was his biggest accomplishment.
Yup, they needed to create a crisis and it backfired on them. He still needs to be held accountable for that mess.

He follows his father—the original murderer!
I’d trade his life for the ones he got killed any day of the week. And night.
Did I miss something in my civics class? Isn’t the attorney general’s job to prosecute the laws of the land, like immigration law and voter law? I didn’t think his job was to write or pass law; doesn’t that reside with the house? Pass gun control laws by releasing numerous illegal weapons into criminal hands via Fast and Furious, which turn out to be slow and dimwitted.
He’s upset that the governors of Connecticut, New York and Colorado were more effective tyrants than he was.
