After signaling to New York Governor David Paterson that he should not seek re-election, President Obama met the governor in Troy, NY before another one of Obama’s many speeches. Awkward!
Former New York Governor George Pataki said Obama should quit meddling in New York’s business. The president didn’t take the advice:
“A wonderful man, the governor of the great state of New York is in the house,” Obama said.
By comparison, he turned on the charm and the megawatt smile for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. The difference was obvious.
“Your shy and retiring Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is in the house. Andrew’s doing great work enforcing the laws that need to be enforced,” Obama said.
That was Obama’s way of personally signaling to New York what he has already signaled to Gov. Paterson. He wants him to step aside, not seek election next year, which clears a path for Cuomo, right now the most popular politician in the state.
Just what we need, another Cuomo governing the State of New York. Hey Obama – butt out!
