Look Closely at Obama's Eyes as He Speaks About Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder

As President Barack Obama noted how "rare" it is to have "good men in positions of power and authority, who are willing to fight for what's right" in a ceremony for outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday, Obama appeared to get emotional.

Indeed, the president appeared to wipe away tears twice before ending his introduction for Holder:

Holder and Obama have received a great deal of criticism over a variety of issues ranging from a lack of press freedom to their failure to attend the historic rally in Paris last month after 17 people were murdered by Islamic terrorists.
