Eric Holder

Eric Holder, a senior legal adviser for Obama’s presidential campaign and a partner at the law firm Covington & Burling in the District of Columbia, has accepted Obama’s offering to become attorney general.

With his position as a attorney general, Holder will be responsible for the job as the U.S. top law enforcement & legal officer who will deals with issues like terrorism and crime, and also as the key role in setting policy on prosecuting terrorism cases while protecting civil liberties.

Like Barack Obama who is the first black elected president, Holder would be the first black to head the Justice Department. And not only that, he also has the same opinion with Obama that America must close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
