I thought the goal of the Obama Administration was to bring unemployment numbers down, not add to the problem.  Why is President Obama trying to urge Governor Paterson not to run for election?  DId they not learn from the whole crown Princess Caroline as Senator movement that David Paterson is not likely to submit to out of state pressure to curry favor with the Democratic establishment?  David Paterson is deeply unpopular already but has more than a year left in office.  You don't think these calls will further weaken Paterson for the time he has left in office?

What have New Yorkers done that Obama feels it's his business to butt in to who represents our state in the Senate and as Governor?   Seriously, try focusing on health care reform, cap and trade, regulating the out of control fiance industry, figure out where our effing TARP money went, a plan for Afghanistan, solve the problems of the Middle East, etc etc etc.  New Yorkers are more than capable of making these decisions on our own. We got this.  MYFB.
