Eric Holder as Senator- American Character and Belief System

Cecilia H.

Senate Confirms Holder as First Black AG

Comcast News Network

Eric Holder was made official Senator, and I think he is a part of the presidents cabinet, though Im not sure, it was mentioned once in the article but did seem really brushed off.

I couldnt see much bias in the article, The report said what republicans and democrats equally wanted from him, though they did make it obvious that republicans didnt like him nearly as much as democrats do.

This article, I think, is written in a political way. It gets detailed about Holders views on guns, on economy, on a lot of different things and what the senators think about it. I think the article can be described as practical.

As detailed as the article is, I definately think this article is mainstream interpretation. It does get into their views, but a lot of it is what so-and-so said. It doesnt really dwell much on how this senator can really can us in the future.

This article relates to our theme of American Character and Belief system because I think a lot of our American Beliefs include copying and pasteing good ideas. Obama has kind of the same ideals as this man and is now President, I think that a lot of our beliefs include knowing a good thin when we see it. I think hed make a good senator, with the exception of the gun laws.
