Holder, Sebelius, Shineski to stay in Obama cabinet

While Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is stepping down from her post, a White House official tells NBC News that three cabinet members will remain in their jobs for President Obama's second term -- Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

Discuss this post

Eric Holder is the worst of all. It figures he would say on with this regime.

Right . Who would want Little Eric in their organization?

As for Kathleen, she's still writing the ObamaCare laws as we speak. I guess she had the opportunity to read the bill after passing the bill.

Thank goodness Hilda is out. Just don't send her back to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holder condoned the murder of children and he's a racist who ok'ed the walking of illegal firearms into a sovereign nation where hundreds of their civilians were killed.

Ashcroft was Mother Teresa compared to that lowlife scum. He should have been executed long ago

    Educated? Incompletely it appears. Turning a plural into a possessive is more than a typo. Though misuse of the apostrophe is admittedly quite common, it is nevertheless absent from the posts of educated commenters. So is name-calling. Unfortunately, the concept of civil, adult discourse--and disagreement--seem to have gone the way of the Studebaker and Ipana toothpaste.

      Holder and Sebelius need to investigate the actions of the Florida Governor "Saddistic Scott" quickly. This so called Florida Governor has been violating the Civil Rights of Disabled Children. Why? This 'animal" is seperating disabled children from their families. Why? "Saddistic Scott" is not only mentally ill. He is a Pathological Liar with sense of humanity at all. This 'animal' is being allowed to violate 94-142. Why? This 'animal' is not being investigated for crimes against humanity. Why? Do the voters of Florida understand that their Governor is a monster of the worse kind? It is time to call your representatives America! This 'animal' needs to be brought to justice!

      At least those children lived. Holder is responsible for complicity in the murder of 18 children. Why don't you call your rep and demand Holder be tried for the murder of 18 children? Add aiding and abetting terrorists while you're at it.

        The more you three hate Eric Holder, the better job he's probably doing. You're not exactly the Borg collective, y'know... And I can guarantee that no one wants to bite you unfunnygirl, even when you shout out orders to do so.

        What's really hypocritical of the right-wing simpletons is...Dubyas' AG Alberto Gonzalez reisnged in 2007 after using "I don't recall" at least 72 times in the hearings concerning firings of US Attorneys!

        Yup, looks like Gonzo is their kind of AG.......I know nothin'

        Fast forward....Why isn't the right-wing happy that AG Holder HAS NOT investigated the previous administration "War Criminals", or investigated "Wall Street".......

        Typical left wing responses like chilled. Gee but Bush did it, or someone under Bush did it, the left can only play the blame game and never take responsibility for their failures.

        Holders accomplishments as AG:

        *Dropped charges against New Black Panther Party.

        *Spent millions investigating Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, lost all law suits and had to give up.

        *Cover up over "Fast & Furious", and only AG to be held in "Contempt of Congress".

        *Responsible for the Death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent, and subsequent cover up.

        *Wanted to bring Terrorist from GITMO and try them in Federal Court in downtown NYC. (Got b!tch slapped by Congress).

        I can not think of anything Holder has done to benefit the majority of American Citizens? Maybe a left winger can publish something besides suing states that don't/didn't agree with the Obama Administration.

        You're absolutely right billybob###.

        I did express my feelings, but alas, I guess the AG thought otherwise. Aren't you happy about his decisions.

        It indeed would be helpful/useful to not let unindicted war criminals, wall street bankers walk freely with no call to account for their decisions/actions.

        Because there's nothing to investigate. That's just rabble-rousing and propaganda to stir up the feeble minded. A more searing question would be:

        Why didn't an independent agency investigate Holder and his dept of injustice over the Fast & Furious fiasco?

            Interesting that Holder is staying on. Apparently he is not afraid of whatever criticism might be thrown at him... and neither is the President.

            Despite whatever wrongs that might be attributed to his tenure as AG, he must be doing something right.

              He serves at the pleasure of the President. Apparently the President is pleased. That's all the really matters. For those of you whose wishes did not come true in November, there will be other chances to convince the voters that your program is better for the country than the alternative. This isn't one of them.
