I think that Vilsack is being thrown under the bus. Obama originally ordered Sherrod fired, but now he is blaming Vilsack. Vilsack has to bend over, and I think he will be tossed to make Obama look good. Disgusting.

I hear the Black Caucus was really upset with Obama on this.

"Mr. President, there seems to have seen some incident involving Prof Gates and the Police."
"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but I will say that the Police acted stupidly."
"Mr. President, a woman working for USDA said something the other day. People are upset."
"Well, I don't know what she said, but fire her."
"Mr. President, some people think that maybe what she said was OK."
"I have no idea what you're telling me. Fire her boss. Rehire her."

At this rate, soon we’ll be ready for my new bumpersticker: Honky Crackers for Palin/ etc. (insert name).

Should be catchy.

I’m sure he was ordered to take the heat for this. I can remember a time when the Small Business Administration would only consider loans for blacks, if you were white,
forget it! It appears that The Ag Department is working
the same way.

It’s not a guarantee that I could make, but that won’t happen.

I think this is how it went down, too. Note to Republicans: Do not accept appointments to Dem administrations.

Of course not. The Left considers the 1st Amendment its privilege alone.
