Obama Thwarts NY Gov. Patterson's Election Prospects
President Obama does, yet again, that which he has become so profoundly adept: tossing folks under the bus. This time, it's not his granddad or even his wife (for that ridiculous stunt she pulled last week, at profound taxpayer expense). It is none other than a fellow African American executive office holder: the hapless New York Governor David Patterson:
The notion that the nation's first black president would be responsible for destroying the candidacy of New York's first black governor left some of the state's normally voluble Democratic officials speechless -- but not surprised.
That's because Obama, unlike Gov. Paterson, was elected to his job, and thus is sensitive to the implications of a chief executive having no prospect of being elected to his, especially in a key Democratic state.
Obama knows that Paterson is the most unpopular governor in the United States, and -- given the problems that are racking so many states -- that's saying a lot.
Our Dear Leader may be a radical socialist miscreant, but he's no fool. He knows that the inept Gov. Patterson is exquisitely unable to be elected, let alone to be an effective political ally in this lynchpin Northeast liberal bastion. It is ironic, though, that we can actually see in Gov. Patterson's misdeeds a reasonable reflection of The Anointed One's White House exploits:
Whether it was his massive state spending and tax increases in the face of a deteriorating economy, his favoritism toward friends and cronies in hiring and handing out raises, … or, most recently, his bizarre claim that he -- along with Obama -- were or soon would be victims of a white-controlled media conspiracy, Paterson has single-handedly turned what was initially an overwhelmingly supportive and sympathetic New York electorate against him.
Hmmm... sounds... so... familiar...
If there's anything we've learned from Jimmy Carter, it's that if you disagree with or don't support a Black politician, then you are a racist. QED: Obama is a racist. In fact, BHO is actually supporting the white guy, Andrew Cuomo, over the black candidate. That makes him way racist.
