Eric Holder- Attorney General
There are many interesting attributes to Mr. Obama. One of tehm ahs to be the speed to which he is putting together a probably administration. One of the assurances that he has is a Senate that’s of his own party. Yesterday it was Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State and today it is Eric Hodler for Attorney General. We all know who Hill is but who is this Eric guy? Â
Holder was born in 1951 in New York, to parents who had emigrated from Barbados. I wonder if he’s any relation to Neville Goddard? Probably not!  
Eric grew up in Queens and was educated at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan and attended Columbia University, where he earned a B.A. in 1973 and a J.D. in 1976. After graduating from Columbia Law School Eric worked in the U.S. Justice Department as a trial attorney in the Public Integrity section from 1976 to 1988. He was then appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve as an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
Ronald!
Obama is calling upon Eric Holder as his attorney general, putting the veteran Washington lawyer in place to become the first African-American to head the Justice Department. Holder has served as deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration. Several news sources have said that Obama offered Holder the job and he accepted. The announcement is not likely until after Obama announces his choices to lead the Treasury and State departments.
Holder, 57, has been on Obama’s “short list” for attorney general. Eric is a partner at the D.C. law firm of Covington & Burling, Holder served as co-chief with Caroline Kennedy, of Obama’s vice-presidential selection process. He also actively campaigned for Obama throughout the year and grew personally close to the president-elect.
Interestingl, the two men, both tall and thin, each had immigrant fathers, went to Ivy Leagues schools (both attended Columbia College as undergraduates), played basketball, and, of course, believed passionately in public service. “We just clicked,” says Holder matter-of-factly. Holder says he immediately sensed Obama’s talent. And despite the 10 years that separated them, he found someone who thought similarly about race. “I think we share a worldview,” he says. “[Obama] is not defined by his race. He’s proud of it, cognizant of the pernicious effect that race has had in our history but not defined by it.”
Obama is proving to be no slow-poke at setting up his administration and with the economic and international climate as it is, it’s no wonder he’s moving fast!
