The revolving door at the White House is seeing a lot of action this month, with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis being the latest to announce that she’s taking her talents elsewhere. Just last week, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner gave notice that he’d be leaving by the end of the month. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to resign, but she’s been a bit hard to pin down lately. So, who’s staying on to move the country forward and — more importantly — maintain that critical measure of diversity?
Carney says Pres Obama committed to diversity. WH puts out word that Sebelius (HHS), Shinseki & Holder will remain in their Cebinet posts.

As Solis leaves Cabinet, with Clinton halfway out door, WH says panel is still diverse: Sebelius, Holder, Shinseki staying on.

sorry, people, but it's not actually news that Eric Holder is staying on for at least several months

As long as we’re apologizing, we too are sorry, people, that Eric Holder is staying on for at least several months. He gave us hope back in November (briefly) that he’d be part of the second-term rush for the exits, telling a group of students that he was considering leaving. “Do I have gas left in the tank? It’s been an interesting and tough four years, so I really just don’t know,” Holder told them. A tough four years? Not as tough as the last two years for Brian Terry’s family.
Reminder: Eric Holder still has a job after his dept. sent 2500+ guns to Mexican cartels, the same type of guns Obama wants to ban from you

So what’s keeping Holder around if he’s running on fumes? Well, the nation’s fever to grab guns from its citizens, even if it takes executive orders to do it, might have provided the necessary second wind.
Barack Obama kept Eric Holder around to …. take your guns

Looks like it’s going to be an “interesting and tough” year for all of us.
