President Barack Obama may need to accept the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder as part of a plan to “get control” of the three scandals hounding the administration, historian Douglas Brinkley advised Tuesday.

Action is more important than rhetoric in times like these, Brinkley told “Hardball” host Chris Matthews on MSNBC.

“I think immediately he’s got to get control over these three issues,” Brinkley said. “I think he might have to look at accepting a resignation from Eric Holder possibly. I think in Benghazi — it’s drug on too long.

I’m sure his poll numbers are going to still stay high. People trust him. But he can’t let his integrity get dented and then do some big things. Don’t just talk about it. If you’re going to close Guantanamo, close it. If you want the Keystone pipeline to happen, then say it’s going to happen. There have been too many trial balloons.”

..Matthews then asked Brinkley if Obama is in real trouble.

“Not yet,” Brinkley replied. “But as you said, he’s got to talk directly to the American people on all three of these. He’s got to push for immigration reform. If he doesn’t get it, he’s going to have to cut out on his own, use executive power and find ways to lead without worrying about Congress.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Just lead with executive orders! Sheesh!

He doesn't want to close Guantanamo. He used it to get elected. He uses it still for political attraction. He will never admit that he is boxed in and unable to close it.
