Brietbart and Faux News’ lies have cost this poor woman her job. The tape of Shirley Sherrod speaking before the NAACP was manipulated. Here, in this CNN interview a few hours ago, the wife of the white farmer who supposedly was mistreated by Mrs. Sherrod calls her a dear friend without whose help, they would have lost their farm.

I repeat my call for the DOJ to criminally charge Mr. Brietbart, and anyone participating in this criminal conspiracy,defamation, and assault such as Faux News against Mrs. Sherrod, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of Federal law.

The problem right now is that the Obama Administration – all those appointees and SES types, are frozen in their tracks because of the threat of neing treated like Sherrod, and an administration which is too chickenshit to stand up for them.
This administration is rapidly approaching complete meltdown – due to cowardice at the top.
I think he thinks the coalition that got him elected will get him re-elected, which seems to be the motive behind so many of his actions. The trouble with every president’s first term is that they keep the people who ran the election in house, and they cannot seem to break out of election mode.
Being a strong man and president will get him re-elected. However, he’s stuck with focusing on the obstacles, thereby taking his eyes off the real prize.
