Shirley Sherrod says she is going to sue blogger Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger who took her words out of context, leading to her forced resignation.  Sherrod also says that President Obama needs a reality check when it comes to race in America. Obama has apologized to Sherrod on behalf of the administration and the USDA has offered her a new job.  She hasn't decided whether to accept and she has instead invited the president to visit her in Georgia, so she can enlighten him. Sherrod spoke yesterday at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists in San Diego. We speak with Mary Curtis, who writes for PoliticsDaily.com.
