Anyone else catch AG Holder talking to family members of 9/11 victims after the Senate hearing?

Edited on Wed Nov-18-09 02:21 PM by sabra

MSNBC continued their live stream, showing a few family members of 9/11 victims come up to AG Holder after the hearing. They were against his decision of bringing the trials to NY. AG Holder didn't run off, and actually appeared to want to hear their voices.

I have to say the conversations were raw and sincere, Holder listened to them and responded with thoughtful answers. There was no shouting, no politics, just good dialogue.

It was a refreshing thing to see.

1. Contrast that with how the previous administration would have responded --

Reminds me of a Biden story about when he was en route to a fundraiser (primaries) and his car was passing some people with anti-Biden signs. He had the driver stop the car, got out, and spent time actually talking and dialoguing with these people -- much as Holder did. We're on the right side, we've got the good ones. :patriot:

3. Actually, I don't think those people would have gotten anywhere NEAR the Bush AG.
