Obama Strategy on the Shirley Sherrod Case: Silence is Golden

There are days when the president seems to do whatever it takes to avoid speaking to the White House press corps - and this was one of those days.

Why? The White House officially denies it, but a pretty good guess is that he's avoiding questions on the Shirley Sherrod flap.

No Chip, that isn't his strategy.

(Reuters) - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack rushed to judgment when he dismissed a former government official over racism allegations, U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview on Thursday.

"He jumped the gun, partly because we now live in this media culture where something goes up on YouTube or a blog and everybody scrambles," Obama said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" that will be broadcast on Friday.

1. Chip Reid has truly been campaigning hard for the title of biggest asshole in the WHPC.

2. "It's a pretty good guess"

Um, Mr. Journalist, that's not your fucking job. Whenever you feel the need to qualify a statement with "it's a pretty good guess," be aware that the statement itself is not what you should be writing. Jackass.

5. Bingo!

What the hell ever happened to reporting what you know, not what you think?

3. I can't wait for this interview. Sounds like Chip may have "jumped the gun".

He is so un-right, as usual.

4. He is sickening...he had some comment about the Obama's going

to Florida for a weekend in August. Something about "interesting timing." Screw these assholes...report the news and keep your opinions to yourself you creeps! He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.
