"Obama to nominate Brooklyn federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch for U.S. attorney general"
Current Event of November 7, 2014

Looking Forward

          As the midterm elections were this week, President Obama has been busy making the changes he needs. For the office of U.S. Attorney General, he had to pick some one the country could trust. Loretta Lynch will be the first black woman ever to hold this position. She is extremely qualified and has been working in law her entire life. She is also known for having an even temperament in the face of pressure, meaning that she will be able to hold her own without causing too much controversy. Of course, Obama's decision has to be approved by the Senate for anything to come to fruition. Lynch will be replacing the current U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, if she is approved. Over the past 6 years, he has had a history of disagreements with the Republican members of the federal government. Hopefully when she is instated, Lynch will do a better job than Holder. 
        Obama is trying to impact as many aspects of the country as possible before his term ends. One of his contributions is picking a person for the job of U.S. Attorney General. As the Senate is going to be dominated by the Republican Party, he has to be careful in the the coming times. The government will soon be divided by a Democratic President and a Republican Senate. Another important piece of information about this current event is that Loretta Lynch is not only African American, but a female. It just shows how much progress has been made in the last years. There is hope that change is possible even in a place as corrupt as Washington D.C. President Obama has made the right decision by nominating Loretta Lynch.
