President Barack Obama called Shirley Sherrod Thursday to offer his apologies and urge her to accept a promotion on Thursday, but the Agriculture Department official, who was forced out on unfounded charges of racism, kept mum on her plans.
Obama had tried to call her twice on Wednesday night but couldn’t connect with Sherrod, according to an administration official. West Wing staffers were attempting to call her again when she returned the president’s calls at around 12:35 p.m.
The apology came after Sherrod took to the airwaves Wednesday to say she would appreciate a call from the president. The 62-year-old grandmother resigned at the direction of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack after a misleading video was posted on conservative websites. It later was discovered to have been doctored to misrepresent Sherrod as racist.

Obama is a cowardly idiot. He fired Sherrod in a panic that Glenn Beck was going to have her on his show.
ROFLOL!! Idiots on parade!!
I truly hope she accepts Obama’s apology and accepts his job offer.
Just so’s he can fire her racist a$$ all over again as new evidence in incoming as I type of her racist/facist ways.
(hand me some popcorn, willa?)
Does it matter? The reporting speaks for itself.
When’s the Beer Summit?
She must been too busy suing the government to notice how Bush was portrayed. Especially during Katrina.
He should apologize to this country
OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH politicO
I never ever visit their site and I don’t care to read anything they print.
This is hilarious. Our country is being gutted and bulldozed by this fraud-in-chief and at least 48 hours and counting are spent talking nonstop about this pathetic low-level racist in the agricultural department.
Is this the same Politico whose writer plots with others to trash Palin?
She's going to turn out to be fun. She wants to be Al Sharpton famous, and Obama's her ticket to stardom.
Meet the new leftwing Levi Johnson, hopefully sans nudity.
It’d be interesting to learn who gave the tape excerpts to Breitbart. He’s said that when he was originally offered the materials, they didn’t play for him and he had little interest in the matter.
That was until the NAACP alleged racism as the motivation of the tea party movement.
The racist applause for Saint Sherrod at the NAACP meeting was not “a matter of editing”. Where was their “come to Jesus moment” where they acknowleged they were wrong?
