Obama Administration Apologizes to Shirley Sherrod for Ruining Her Life
August 19, 2010 by Michael Lockheart · Leave a Comment
Unfortunately, science has not yet created a machine that would allow us to travel backwards along the fourth dimension to a point in spacetime when it would have been considered advantageous to behave as principled adults and reconsider our actions.
So, I guess Shirley Sherrod will just have to settle for a few lame apologies from Robert Gibbs and Tom Vilsack…
Former Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod says she wants to discuss racial issues with President Obama, but there’s need for him to apologize for her wretched week…
Sherrod got apologies from press secretary Robert Gibbs and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, but says, “I can’t say the president is fully behind me.” She says Obama is not a person who “has experienced some of the things I’ve experienced in life.”
I don’t know. Let me think about this? Has he ever been completely fucked over in the most nauseatingly craven way imaginable by top government officials and had his career and good name offered as sacrifice to blatant partisans and documented peddlers of politically-charged lies?
I’m gonna have to check, but my instincts say that he hasn’t. So, she might be right about this.

Barack Obama using the word “ass” on television to prove how serious he is about fixing a hole in the ocean hit us like a ton of bricks (made of washed-up tar). Today, we begin following the President on his quest to find a suitable ass to kick. But will that ass wind up being closer to him than he ever could have suspected?

Obama’s Bush-Like Abuses of Power

President Obama is failing to keep. Between denying habeas corpus, the perpetuation of rendition and the arrest of government whistleblowers, it’s like nothing I believed about Obama during the campaign is true. Next thing you know, we’ll find out he was actually born in the United States!
