Holder lobbying for World Cup.

Quote:
Gulati and his delegation have spent months lobbying the 22 voters. They'll bring along a group for the final presentation that includes former President Bill Clinton, Attorney General Eric Holder, actor Morgan Freeman, national team star Landon Donovan, former women's team star Mia Hamm and her husband, former Boston Red Sox star Nomar Garciaparra.

Is this administration totally ablivious to what is going on in the U.S. and around the world, or do they just not care? Unbelievable.

Agreed, though notice in contrast to the past, Obama is no longer wheeled out for this sort of thing, someone must have realized we never win when we send him...

Doesn't Holder have enough on his plate, with all those bad guys he wants to let free or try as citizens? And I thought Obama was the sports guy, promising to throw his weight around for a BCS playoff once he got in office.
