Obama 'regrets' sacking of official Shirley Sherrod


www.bbc.co.uk
President Barack Obama has called agriculture official Shirley Sherrod to express his "regret" over her recent sacking.

Mrs Sherrod was fired after a blogger posted a video of her apparently suggesting she had not fully helped a farmer because he was white.

It was revealed afterwards that the comments, at an equality group event, had been taken out of context.

Meh. Obama regrets that an employee of the government was asked to resign. Good move!

He didn't even have anything to do with it, yes? That's what his secretary of Agriculture said.

I'm reaching here, yes? Of course he regrets this decision! He had nothing to do with it.



It's not MY fault! I was unaware. LOL.

It's probably George Bush's fault. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Of course he regrets this, just like he regrets calling the Cambridge Police Department as acting stupidly.

Lite beer? LITE BEER? OMG!

Man, presidents have a tendancy to act stupidly or evil. Take your choice.

Of course they are all about the people they serve.

In my 57 years I have seen presidents act stupidly, act politically, act in manners I have thought were just evil or stupid, or both, Um...just saying........Obama IS the most transparent POTUS I have ever witnessed.

There was a POTUS, what was his name? Was it Calviin Coolidge? something like that. Segregated the country, actually, with his policies in the D.C.

He was rather transparent. Sort of like Obama is transparent.

Remember, don't listen to the words so much, as watch the actions.

People just can't keep up the facade for very long. And a POTUS can't keep up his facade either, unless he surrounds himself with folks that, well, don''t have a personal political agenda. Because they eventually are overcome by their own desires, not that of the country's citizens as a whole.

Mind you, these asshats DO think they are doing the people's will, They believe they know the people's will better than the people do. Yes, the people's will from many years ago.

There's nothing like having a former cocaine user in the White House!
My questions are, when did you quit using the cocaine? Are you still smoking thst stuff?

Here's a hint. Forget the Lite beer, forget the cocaine,

And clear your head of your old ideas, Get a grip and just maybe actually get out and about without photo ops and employees being told to stay home while the POTUS visits.

Ms Sherrod said something that I appreciate. I'm not going to quote, but the gist of it was, Obama, who I still support, you have no idea what goes on down here, so come on down and see what is happening in a part of the country you have never experienced and no nothing about.

Obama is a bad leader. He responds without all of the facts. How is the CEO of America firing someone because of a blog entry?

This event that the recent firing of the general in Afghanistan prove that Obama is a celebrity. Only celebrities worry about the gossip reports.

The story was out of context by a blogger. I can't believe MSM fell for a blogger. DOn't they know blogs are like 90% BS? They are almost like tabloids.
