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.

When you’re riding the short bus there isn’t room for everyone so under the bus you go.

How did Vilsack jump the gun. Didn’t he say he was sticking by his decision even after the full video came out?

Her remarks and her intent is clear to the American people. These schmucks look even more racist by the hour.

If he'll throw his grandmother under the bus he'll surely throw a white subordinate.

OK...anyone who didn’t see this coming...raise your hand, and you’ll be escorted out by the nice white-coated ‘ushers’...

Of course he’ll throw somebody under a bus, any bus. It’s the only tool he has left; blame, deflect, and deny.

It’s time to take back the country. Dumping this idiot would be a start.

A pizza chef’s cheese grater gets less action than the undercarriage of that metaphorical bus.
