Rescind resignation

Is there really much to say. The President being a politician took a preemptive measure to have someone fired who did no wrong except being candid at church. And to think I was 90% sure of registering to become a NAACP member - now it stands at 50%. More about that story next week. Jealous & co. You have some work to do... When Bellini is on the same accord as Pat Buchanaan (I was watching 'Morning Joe' this morning) - something is up. Here's the gist, the administration acted like some cowards. One senses that the race bogeyman has the President and his minions shook, but this is in stark contrast to his race speech in the city of brotherly love. What gives? Sister Sherrod (did I spell her name right - my apologies folk?) you may not even want your job back, but to know you have a choice - is a step in the right direction.

cheers,

Bellini

And I was reading that the Sherrod family is the ish in SW GA. Very influential and active in the civil rights movement. This was definitely not the move.

Oh may I also add... maybe Obama will invite her for a nice white wine spritzer at the White House. Heh.

hey rummy! oh yes - there is so much irony in this story. I want the Sherrod's to maintain a poker face, and let this ride out. Milk it for all it's worth. And I am so livid with the NAACP. I can't believe Jealous is doling blame on the conservative media "we were snookered"... that's B***S***. Take full responsibility. You know had this been Sharpton, he would have had the Sherrod's back and rode for them until the evidence was too overwhelming to stand by them. And to think Badu was on to something when she referenced - groupthink in 'Window Seat'...
