Obama's First Appointment

Gives me the willies to see a problem in Mr. Obama's very first appointment, the committee to find a Vice President.  I know there are three on the committee, but I am focusing on 'one'. Eric Holder.

As deputy attorney general, Holder was the key person who made the pardon of Marc Rich possible in the final hours of the Clinton presidency. Marc Rich, the fugitive billionaire who renounced his US citizenship and moved to Switzerland to avoid prosecution for racketeering, wire fraud, 51 counts of tax fraud, evading $48 million in taxes, and engaging in illegal trades with Iran in violation of the US embargo following the 1979-80 hostage crisis.

Now, doesn't that just warm your heart and inspire confidence that 'change' is coming?
