    The official said Holder, who leads the Justice Department, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki will remain with the administration amid changes to the Cabinet as President Barack Obama moves into his second term.

    Labor Secretary Hilda Solis submitted her resignation.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel changes, said the three remaining officials were not an exhaustive list of which Cabinet members intended to stay.

    Obama has received some criticism that his initial Cabinet choices for the State Department and Defense Department do not reflect the nation’s diversity.

    This is BAD news. But no surprise, Holder & Obama are both cast in the same mold (& no, I DO NOT MEAN RACE!!) I refer to anti-semitism, incompetence, & lying.

    Hey, how come the crooked Holder gets to stay? Don’t the Senate & House have to approve this?

    Mr. Hikind, we need you to fight this one too. I can’t believe they’ll let Eric Holder continue after all his wrongdoings.
