Must-Reads: Vilsack Flips on Sherrod

"Savage austerity" our future?

Obama: 'Now Is the Time For Common Sense Action' 
Romney Takes Aim at Conservatives
Margaret Thatcher had a decisive parliamentary majority behind her in the days of her prime and was brought down only when other Conservative leaders began disagreeing among themselves over her policies. Though David Cameron, who does not enjoy such a majority, has worked out a tough agreement with his coalition partners, the Liberals, with quite a few of whom cuts in public services would sit uneasily, he is riding an unpredictable horse. The crucial point may well be if he can persuade the majority of the British public that his “savage austerity” is really the best medicine for Britain at the present time. Labour unions will fight him every step of the way. With whom will the voters align?

OF COURSE Vilsack has fipped on Sherrod. Obama probably got a call from The Black Panthers, Naacp or some member of his churh in Chicago demanding the return of this woman. How could Obama say no when he is so committed to obying the commands of the racists who hate white people. This is so obvious it would be laughable if not for the horror that is to become America as the races, under Obama, are becoming farther divided with no hope of unity any time soon.

Even if she left (miracle) he would find another zealot to do his bidding. At least this keeps it out in the open…

There is a little thing in the law called “due process”. Ms Sherrod is a victim of the administrations total disregard for the law.

Due process is designed to protect the innocent, regardless of their affiliation, and give the accused the opportunity to face their accusers. It is a shame that the administration runs its operations so slip shod, in a knee-jerk fashion, and without respect for the law.

Re: Michele Bachman….
Why didn’t you ask her what programs she wanted to cut, to pay for the renewed unemployment insurance?
I know that she wants to cut Social Security and medicare benefits… and I wonder if she would have actually said that on regular TV. Are you not allowed to ask those kind of questions? Are you like Fox phony news? Ms Bachman just kept saying the same thing over and over about the tax cuts… I’m disappointed in you and your network…. Sincerely…..
