Barack Obama May Be to Blame for David Patterson’s Troubles

David Patterson, governor of the state of New York is having a pretty rough week.

Late Sunday night, The Business Insider Blog posted a report that the New York Times was going to publish a bombshell report the following Monday with details of wild extra-marital affairs including wild sex-capes that would give Tiger Woods a run for his money.

Also included in the report was an assurance that Patterson would shortly be forced to resign his office.

Monday cane and went, and nothing was published in the Times.

Gov Patterson's understandable response has been a continued assault throughout the week on the media bemoaning what he called a "racialized" and "hypersexualized" portrayal of himself amid a weeks-long cyclone of speculation.

The governor also continued to complain about his treatment by the Times, which he believes has no intention of publishing salacious details about his personal life.

"I felt they had an obligation, not only out of human decency, but journalist ethics, to let me know whatever this bombshell was so I could answer it on the record," Paterson said.

So let me engage in some speculation. Everybody else seems to be doing so, so why not.

David Patterson is about to launch his re-election campaign on February 23. So, now would be a good time for foes to throw a monkey wrench into the works.

So who would they be?

Back in September I posted the following story

Pardon Me brother While I Stab you in the Back
President Barack Obama, the first African American elected to the highest political office in the land, effectively told New York Governor David Patterson, get lost, I’ll go with the White guy, Andrew Cuomo instead.

Not one shot was fired, or was blood left on the floor. Yet the betrayal was just as viscous and painful for Patterson who must feel like the loneliest Democrat in the world.

Now, I don’t have a smoking gun but many New Yorkers felt that Barack Obama should not have poked his nose into New York state politics to push aside a sitting governor.

But the president is getting more and more desperate as his presidency crumbles. And desperate times calls for desperate measures when you’re trying to hold back the Conservative wave.

David Patterson may be collateral damage.

If President Obama can blame George Bush for all his troubles, I think I can blame him for all the grief that David Patterson is going through now.

Is it fair?

Politics ain’t bean bag!

Obama and Dems Stage Phony TV Event

You can’t always believe what you see on TV especially when it emanates from the Obama administration and the Democrat Party.

According to the New York Times, Obama had a pep talk to encourage Democrat senators to carry on passing Health Care reform for the American people.

The NY Times wrote:
“At times, the president’s appearance took on the air of a pep rally, complete with back-slapping jokes and stinging criticism of Republicans. But at other points it seemed as though the senators had been summoned to the principal’s office, with Mr. Obama delivering a stern reminder to do better, work harder and live up to their potential.”Full article Click Here

But the NY Times, the paper of record according the The Left, forgot to mention what was really occurring at the same event because according to The Hill, there was much more to meet the eye.

The Hill wrote:
“Senators did not want to press Obama on healthcare reform in front of television cameras for fear of putting him in an awkward spot.”

Those Democrats are really considerate, aren’t they?

The Hill also wrote:
“Senate Democrats held back from asking President Barack Obama about healthcare reform during a carefully scripted question-and-answer session in front of television cameras.
With the cameras rolling, a group of senators selected in advance by the Democratic leadership asked questions about such topics as partisan gridlock and GOP obstruction.”

Yeah, those pesky GOPer’s always have to throw in a monkey wrench.

The Hill continues:
“One Democratic senator even grew heated in his remarks, according to the source.
‘It wasn’t a discussion about how to get from Point A to Point B; it was a discussion about the lack of a plan to get from Point A to Point B,” said a person who attended the meeting. “Many of the members were frustrated, but one person really expressed his frustration.”Full article Click Here

I’m sure Jeff Zenely and David M. Herszenhorn of the NY Times couldn’t possibly cover everthing that was going on at this event.

They only have four legs and four eyes and there was so many senators there that they just couldn’t find all the news that was fit to print.
