Pressured-to-resign USDA employee Shirley Sherrod was on the Today show this morning and declared, "I really would not want the president to apologize to me. I'd love to have a conversation with him, though ... You know, I'd like to talk to him a little bit about the experience of people like me. People at the grassroots level. People who live out there in rural America, people who live in the south." [Via Daily Intel, which points out, "President Obama wants to get involved in another racial controversy like he wants another giant oil spill."]
