Sherrod herself wishes that Obama were behind her. From Mike Allen:
> BULLETIN -- George Stephanopoulos: “[O]n 'GMA,' Shirley Sherrod says that she's not ready to accept Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack's job offer. She wants to hear more from the Secretary and his boss - President Obama. 'I can't say that the President is fully behind me,' Sherrod told me. 'I would hope that he is…I would love to talk to him.'” http://bit.ly/9sdq80

I'd like to talk to him a little ... bit about the experiences of people like me -- people at the grassroot level, people who live out there in rural America, people who live in the South. I know he does not have that kind of experience. Let me help him a little bit with how we think, how we live, and the things that are happening."
