(CNN) –Sources tell CNN’s Ed Henry and John King Barack Obama has chosen Eric Holder as his nominee for Attorney General.
Holder has accepted the position but must still undergo a vetting process by the Obama transition team.
If confirmed, Holder will become the first African-American to hold the position.
We have an African American President Elect. Our current Secretary of State is black, as is her predecessor. When will these ‘ground-breaking’ appointments cease to be ground-breaking? Let me rephrase that: when will reporters not feel compelled to note that person X is the first person of race Y to be nominated to position Z, as if this is still newsworthy?
