Gov. David Paterson of New York, legally blind and one of only 2 Black governors in the nation, has received a request from Barack Obama to “step-aside” in the 2010 election, clearing the way for most likely to run Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, a white Democrat.
Since Paterson assumed office, “his popularity has plummeted, and the state’s economic situation deteriorated, with job losses mounting and the unemployment rate rising to the highest in 26 years.”
Perhaps Obama could also request the Democratic governors of Oregon and Washington to “step aside” too.
Paterson has suggested that criticism against him was racially motivated. I imagine he never suspected it would come at him from the White House.
Paterson in effect says nuts to Obama
