Obama Taps Eric Holder for Attorney General

CNN.com reports that, former Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder is President-elect Barack Obama's choice for the position of attorney general, according to two prominent Democrats involved in transition matters.

Holder, who is still being vetted, has indicated he will accept the job if it is offered, the sources said.

If confirmed, Holder would be the first African-American to lead the Justice Department.

According to the article, Holder is very well qualified for the job, but of course it will be interesting to hear how right-wing America will spin it. I'm sure they're all getting passports in fear that the White House is surely going black...lol!
