In other words, are we still going to see "Joe Blow, nominated to be the first Polish Supreme Court Justice..." or "Joanne Blow, the first woman to be CIA Director"?

Can we get past that?

It makes it seem like an impediment they overcame.

Exactly...

I would have much rather the headline said "Former Clinton Appointee named for AG " or something like that. Is his being black the only descriptor they can mention ?

We should have moved beyond this... I know that when I hire somebody I don't give a crap what color his or her skin is or what their name is,or where they went to school. I only that they can do the job and fit in personality wise with the group.

Cuda,

I don't like Holder's stand on the 2nd Amendment either. We could be heading back to the days of Janet Reno and an ATF run amuck...
