Eric Holder, who heads Mr Obama’s justice department, is said to have become “incensed” after being accused by David Axelrod of complaining publicly about political interference in his office.
“That’s bull****,” Mr Holder said in a confrontation after a cabinet meeting, according to author Daniel Klaidman. He writes: “The two men stood chest to chest. It was like a school yard fight”.
The relatively mild-mannered Mr Axelrod is said to have told the attorney general: “Don’t ever, ever accuse me of trying to interfere with the operations of the Justice Department”, a taboo in US politics.
In ‘Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency’, Klaidman discloses the struggles within Mr Obama’s White House at it mounted its controversial campaign against al-Qaeda.
He writes that Mr Holder and Mr Axelrod were separated by Valerie Jarrett, a White House adviser and confidante to Mr Obama. Ms Jarrett “pushed her way between the two men, her sense of decorum disturbed, ordering them to ‘take it out of the hallway’,” says Klaidman.

barry is going to take them out back of the white house for a Beer Summit
Get rid of both of them
Holders demeanor add narrow face cropped mustache reminds me of another individual… Heinrich Himmler..same job description… we sally persona…capacity for cruelty, manipulation, is boundless…perfect henchman …..
Personally I think we ought to lock them both in a room, no ventilation, doors or windows, let the use up the oxygen and then dump the bodies in the sea….lot cheaper than paying for their retirement.
Best suggestion today, so far.
Yes, and I’m betting the sharks and all manner of sea scavenging life would probably ignore them both just as they probably did for OBL, that is assuming OBL was actually dumped at sea. We have only Barry Boy’s word on that and we all know how credible that is! Ranks right up there with the liberal media.
obama will lose in november 2012.
Its not the skin color that my vocal opposition addresses, it is the ” KILL AMERICAN JOBS POLICIES”
ALL OF THESE ” ADVISERS ” ARE THE VERY COMITTEE THAT FORMULATES THE ERATIC POLICIES
WE ARE SEEING. AMERICANS SHOULD REALIZE THESE POLICIES ARE ALL ILLEGAL SINCE THE
REGEME IS OCCUPING THE WHITE HOUSE IN AN ILLEGAL FASHION/
OBAMA IS LIVING A FANTASY, THE HANDLERS HAVE PLACED HIM AS THEIR FIGUREHEAD.
HIS SPEAKING IS BEING USED TO MISLEAD THE AMERICAN CITIZEN WITH CONFIGURED LIES.
LOOK THEM UP, THEY EXIST.
THIS WHOLE SITUATION REMINDS ME OF THE IRAQ PROPOGANDA MINISTER TELLING THE
MEDIA THAT THE INVADING TROOPS WAS BEING DEFEATED JUST AS THEY ROLLED INTO BAGDAD.
THE INFIGHTING IS JUST BEGINNING, MORE AND MORE THE HAND WRINGING WILL DISRUPT THE
STATUS OF EVERY ONE OF THE CZARS, THEY WILL MAKE MISTAKES, BIG MISTAKES WHICH CANNOT
BE COVERED UP.
POSTED PURSUANT TH THE US CONSTITUTION FREEDOM OF SPEECH PROVISION.
VOCAL OPPOSITION=THE OPPOSITION
They both need to be separated alright-separated from their jobs.
