Tom Vilsack offers Shirley Sherrod new job at Agriculture Dept.

After having been forced to resign from her job, black USDA official Shirley Sherrod has been offered a new job by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“They did make an offer. I just told him I need to think about it.” Sherrod told The Associated Press.

“I’m not so sure that going back to the department is the thing to do,”

Shirley put the blame on White House for her firing, after the airing of a video of racial remarks she made at an NAACP gathering. Tom Vilsack declared the decision had been his alone and apologized to Sherrod for forcing her to resign.

“I asked for Shirley’s forgiveness and she was gracious enough to extend it to me,” Vilsack said.

On the other side, Sherrod accepted Tom’s apology.

“I was satisfied with it. In fact, I told him I appreciated the apology and I know that we need to move forward from here.”

President Obama felt the need to comment on the story, saying that she “hasn’t lived the kind of life I’ve lived. I know that he’s African-American, or part African-American … many of us are not totally black in our genes. I’m one of them.”

“But he really, you know, when you get down to where the rubber meets the road, I think you need to understand a little bit more of what life is like at that level.” Obama told reporters.

Will Sherrod accept the new job or not?
