Clearly, at least IMHO, Obama and Holder were pandering to African Americans. (I mean, it kind of seems obvious?)
Not unlike the Executive amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Something tells me that Holder didn't try that hard.

Nope, wrong yet one more time. The Bush Administration already had guilty verdicts. Holder dropped it after that.

Yes, indeed, you are wrong yet one more time!
The Bush Administration had no guilty verdicts. In FACT, no charges were ever filed by the Justice Department under Bush. On Jan 7 2009 (Obama didn't take over until Jan 20), Bush's Justice dept filed a civil suit against the man (Mr. Shabazz) carrying a nightstick, and the New Black Panther Party. (Not seeking damages, mind you, just an injunction)
They won an injunction against "King Samir Shabazz" (not making up the name) (the leader of the New Black Panthers) prohibiting him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of a Philadelphia polling location until 2012. Way to go Bush Dept of Justice!
According to the Justice department, the decision NOT to prosecute was made before Obama or Holder ever took office.
Could Holder have reversed that decision? I cannot see why not? (Other than the pandering already mentioned)
Once again an idiot.

The Department of Justice later narrowed the charges against Minister King Shabazz and dismissed the charges against the New Black Panther Party and Jerry Jackson. The decision to dismiss the charges has led to accusations that the Department of Justice under the Obama administration is biased against white victims and unwilling to prosecute minorities for civil rights violations. These charges have been most notably made by J. Christian Adams, who in May 2010 resigned his post in the Department of Justice in protest over the Obama administration's perceived mishandling of the case, and by his former supervisor Christopher Coates.
quote:
The Department of Justice became aware of the incident on Election Day and started an inquiry. Under the Bush administration, a criminal investigation into the incident was started, but later dropped.[10] In January 2009, less than two weeks before the Bush administration left office, the civil rights division of the Department of Justice filed a civil suit under the voting rights act against four defendants, namely, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson, NBPP chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, and the NBPP itself. The lawsuit accused them of using uniforms, racial insults and a weapon to intimidate voters and those who were there to assist them.[2] The case remained open when the Obama administration took office a few weeks later.
quote:
In April 2009 Bartle Bull, a former civil rights lawyer who was serving as a poll watcher at the polling station where the incident occurred, submitted an affidavit at the Department of Justice's request supporting the lawsuit, stating that he considered it to have been the most severe instance of voter intimidation he had ever encountered.[2][5] When none of the defendants who were charged appeared in court to answer the charges, the career attorneys pursuing the lawsuit assumed that they would win it by default. However the move to pursue a default judgment was overruled by two of their line superiors, Loretta King, who was acting Assistant Attorney General, and Steve Rosenbaum, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General.[3]
The Justice Dept had a default victory. All Obama had to do was file a paper with the court.
