The Sherrod Charade…

by | Jul 21, 2010 | Sherrod, Shirley Sherrod, Vilsack

When a ridiculous right wing blog put up a highly edited tape accusing a long time federal official of racism against white people someone in the administration should have looked for the entire tape. I just watched it. In fact it’s the exact opposite of racism and its disgusting what happened to her. Mark Twain once said “a lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can put its boots on.” This was a lie and it traveled fast… Thank God the truth caught up to it.

Shirley Sherrod grew up in a South I pray is much different then it is today. Her father was murdered by a white supremacist and his killer never brought to justice. The speech was about how she reached an epiphany that whites and blacks share the problems of poverty and how she dedicated her career to help poor southern farmers regardless of race. No one who watches the entire speech can think anything else. The farmer and his wife were all over the news praising her work and how she saved their farm.

The blogger (who I won’t even name)is a race baiter and should never be taken seriously. Secretary Vilsack made a huge mistake by not taking a deep breath before they reacted to the reports. He and the administration are doing the right thing by admitting they got it wrong and apologizing to her.

Lindsay in Jail

I don’t know what how you feel about Lindsay but Drinking and Driving is a serious crime. I have lost an aunt and a H.S. friend to it. She is lucky that no one got hurt by her behavior. That said, I hope Lindsay comes out of jail and makes a comeback. She should follow the Robert Downey Jr. model. Get her life together and focus on her work. Some doubt her acting chops. I don’t… Mean Girls was a pretty good movie and she was good in it. She will play 70’s porn star Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic that will get tons of attention (probably more now that she’s going to jail) If she hits a home run it would be great for her career. There is nothing I love more then a comeback, so I am rooting for her. What do you think?

18 months

by | Jul 21, 2010 | Uncategorized

Today’s Strategy room focused on the first 18 months of Obama and, of course, the Con’s on the show deemed them among the worst in recent Presidential history. They of course ignore the fact that this President inherited the worst economy in since the 1930’s, 2 costly wars and a swelling deficit. They ignore the fact that when President Obama took office, the economy was bleeding over 700,000 jobs per month and now the economy is producing jobs. Time will tell. Obama’s numbers are almost identical to where Regan’s were at this point in his presidency and if the GOP could they would carve him into Mt. Rushmore today. Obama will recover in the same way Regan did. What do you think?
