World Tour

22Jul10

The Shirley Sherrod World Tour continues, with the fired USDA sometime racist visiting the View, among other shows.

Ousted but now recruited U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod says she wants to hear directly from President Obama that he and his administration are fully committed to fighting discrimination against black farmers.

“I can’t say that the president is fully behind me,” Sherrod told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday morning. “I would hope that he is…I would love to talk to him.”

She now wants to consult to the White House…. but why is she being offered a new job instead of being given her old job back? Congressman Steven King, meanwhile, argues that Sherrod’s original hiring should be reviewed.
