If you are black, you should consider the perils of working for the Obama's administration, since any criticism by conservatives would lead to you being thrown under the bus. Shirley Sherrod, a black USDA official, described an incident that occurred 24 years ago to support racial unity. However, conservative activist Andrew Breitbart released a partial clip of Ms. Sherrod narrative on his website in an effort to deceive viewers. The full video makes it clear that Ms. Sherrod was supporting racial unity and commonness of the plight of the poor. |
The Agriculture Secretary from the Obama's administration, Tom Vilsack, reached Ms. Sherrod in her car and asked her to pull over and write a resignation on her blackberry. Obviously, Mr. Vilsack and the Obama administration did not research the issue.

Van Jones a White House environmental adviser was forced to resign in September of 2009 because conservatives reported his past activism. According to conservatives, Jones' transgression was to sign a petition in 2004 from the group 911Truth.org that questioned if the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 incident, as well as his involvement the Bay Area radical group Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). |

Desiree Rogers, White House social secretary, was in trouble with David Axelrod long before the State Dinner party crashers. According to the New York Times in the spring of 2009, Axelrod summoned Ms. Rogers to his office to scold her. Mr. Axelrod was bothered by her role in promoting “the Obama brand.” The New York Times goes on to say that Ms. Rogers' associates said that “She believes she was left largely undefended by the White House, by her colleagues, including Mr. Axelrod, Robert Gibbs and even her close friend, Valerie Jarrett.” |

Jeremiah Wright the former Pastor of the Obamas' for nearly 20 years at Trinity United Church of Christ was disavowed by Mr. Obama during his 2008 run for office. Conservatives argued that Pastor Wright is embedded in a racist black liberation theology. In essence, that it is politically incorrect to recall the suffering of Africans in America under slavery and Jim Crow laws. |
It would be precarious for Blacks in the administration to argue that the inability of the Obama administration to solve the underemployment crisis has caused a depression in poor communities. They too would, in all likelihood, be thrown under the bus.
If the administration has any sense of decency, it would apologize to Ms. Shirley Sherrod and rescind or reject her forced resignation.
