7/22/10: Obama Throws Vilsack Under the Bus

When the Obama administration jumped the gun and fired Shirley Sherrod before they knew the full story, they created a PR mess that could only be cleaned up if President Obama stood up and acted like a leader.

But to ACT like a leader, one should BE a leader. And President Obama is anything but... So President Bow n' Tax did what a spineless, incompetent community organizer would do - he threw someone else under the bus:

President Obama said Secretary Tom Vilsack rushed to judgment when he dismissed Shirley Sherrod from the Department of Agriculture amid charges of racism.

"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 told consumer correspondent Elisabeth Leamy in an exclusive “GMA” interview.

• Blame a white guy for acting "stupidly"
• Blame the "media culture"
  
• Blame the internet and the availability of information
