WASHINGTON – Former Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she wants to discuss racial issues with President Obama, who's "not someone who has experienced some of the things I've experienced in life."
But she also said on morning news shows she feels there is no need for Obama to apologize for her wretched week, which started with a conservative blogger posting controversial remarks she made, and led to her ouster as an Agriculture Department official and then, ultimately, apologies from both the White House and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The furor centered on a videotape on the Internet of Sherrod's remarks, recalling her reluctance 24 years ago to help a white farmer seeking government assistance. Blogger Andew Breitbart said he posted it to illustrate that racism exists in the NAACP, an argument he was using to counter allegations by the civil rights organization of racism in the tea party.

BP paying US Government to allow the oil to spill till August.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out you could un bolt the top cut piece of pipe. Take a piece of pipe fitted with an on/off valve and with the valve open, place it and bolt it down and then close the valve. Yes. It is that easy. So why is the oil still flowing freely. As it turns out, the giant oil pocket is contaminated with natural gas. This cause a problem for BP. As it turns out, it is cheaper to just let it flow into the ocean and bleed off some of the natural gas pressure than it would have been to wait and add the bleed off tanks that are being built now.
The Largest concern should be, why has the US government been refusing help from other countries to contain this issue in a speedy effort could have ended the spill already. What does the Obama administration stand to gain with such a huge distraction and devastation.
What Are your thoughts on this matter?

Government still after your Freedom
Two lawmakers say it's time for prepaid cell phone users to identify themselves.
New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer (SHOO'-mur) and Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn (KOHR'-nihn) have introduced legislation requiring consumers to produce identification before buying such phones.
That's rattled some civil liberties groups, who say the bill may threaten privacy rights.
Prepaid phones can be a lifeline for people with limited incomes or poor credit.
But since they can be purchased anonymously, they're a favored tool of drug dealers and other criminals looking to cover their tracks.
Prepaid phones also have been linked to suspected terror activity.
Authorities say accused Times Square bomb plotter Faisal Shahzad (FY'-sul shah-ZAHD') used one to purchase a car in which to hide the bomb.

Obama is no longer President
One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man approached the White
House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting
on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and
said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no
longer president and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and
said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with
President Obama."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr.
Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke
to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and
meet with President Obama."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the
man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been
here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that
Mr. Obama is no longer the president and no longer resides here.
Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I
just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you
tomorrow, Sir."

US Invasion - Illegal Imagrants - Help !
It has been said that the only reform we need is enforcing the law. Illegal is Illegal! It has also been said: You won't even need to deport them. Just ban ALL services without proof they are legally in the USA. No job, no housing, no welfare and no support systems. Eliminate the "anchor baby". Only give them US citizenship if the parents are here legally. They would leave on there own.
A line has been crossed and it isn't immigration anymore its invasion. Subsidizing having children and giving government welfare to our neighbors is a recipe for disaster. Dems should be happy, more poverty to fuel votes for themselves, and corporate should be happy to have more people to exploit. In the end only the American people lose.
Here's the thing, If you want to come to the US... no problem, follow the rules legally and learn the language like everyone else did. Illegal is Illegal.
Once again Our Government spends money helping other countries from invasion while turning its head from its own. I say " Is there another country that will offer Aid to the US invasion?"

America's greatest threat: B. Hussein Obama
Hear it from his own mouth : http://news.yahoo.com/video#video=18811226
He wants to continue to take control (freedom of choice) away from the American people and put the Government in charge. Health care is just one of many stepping stone he tends to carry this country across. In a time that Our economy is at its worst and unemployment at its highest in decades... He tends to TAX the U.S. Citizens even more. This is not good at all. This is one step closer to Dictatorship and communism. I think the U.S. Military may be needed to Liberate Washington and Fast !
