Holder not cooperative, acting as Obama wants

The spotlight is shining on Attorney General Eric Holder.

There is little doubt that Holder has stonewalled Congress on three critical issues.

Namely, Fast and Furious, Benghazi and the behavior of the Internal Revenue Service. These are extremely important matters and cry out for full cooperation from Holder, the chief law enforcement officer of this country.

There really is no mystery about it all. Holder and President Barack Obama have been close friends since childhood and they share the same 'vision” of what is right and proper from all the rest of us. Holder is Obama's hand puppet, nothing more. Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, also was Obama's hand puppet, nothing more.
