Big important people on that list SPB. I decided to make my recommandation to confirm Eric Holder. Yes I told Senator Leahy I'm just a Black American voter with no title but I did research Mr. Holer's background. Now to the question of the Marc Rich Pardon I explained only the President can approve a Pardon. We've just had an example with Bush giving Toussie a Pardon then taking it back. Mr. Holder earned the right to move up as AG. He knows the job by working with Janet Reno. Now we're watch the confirmation of Ashcoff wiithout a problem or questions asked. We watch the confirmation of Gonzo who couldn't answer the questions but got everyone vote. Even Diane Feinstein said it's the Presidents choice. Now doesn't Obama have the same right to choose his Cabinet that Bush did. Ok Bush's choices committed crimes and still today the current AG is stalling and lying under oath yet it doesn't seem to be a problem for the Committee. Obama promised Change and we will have Change or many Law Makers will join those on the unemployment line. Remember Law Makers got a raise for doing nothing, Americans can demand that raise be taken back.

Yes I know I said alot but I now am allowed to speak out, thanks to Obama/Biden.

Oh and I called Barbara Boxer with my strong support of my girl Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State I really can't tell you what I told Barbara about Bush's choices as that's between me and Senator Boxer.
