By Oliver WillisConsider me disgusted. It is increasingly becoming clear that the USDA official forced out by the Obama administration was not only pushed out thanks to conveniently edited video, but especially because the right wing media has President Obama’s extremities in a vice.
If Shirley Sherrod’s story told on CNN is accurate, the Obama administration had Deputy Undersecretary of Rural Development call Sherrod and had her resign because she would be featured on Glenn Beck’s show. What the hell is that?
Look, Barack Obama, you’re not in the White House to do Glenn Beck’s bidding. We put you there to fight for the American people, not placate the right wing nutjobs who nearly ruined this country. I know you want to bring people together, but that doesn’t mean conceding the government to neo-McCarthyite like Glenn Beck.
This is appalling, and easily the worst thing that’s been done since you were elected. Under Secretary Cook should be packing her bags, and Ms. Sherrod should be reinstated with some sort of compensation to make up for this egregious error.
