Pataki Knocks White House For Getting Involved In NY Politics

Former Gov. George Pataki was picked by the Republican National Committee to respond to President Obama’s visit to the Capital Region today.
While Pataki said he was grateful that Obama picked Hudson Valley Community College for the speech and for talking about the need to create jobs, he said, “Right now, we’re seeing in Washington a massive spending binge aimed at stimulating the economy, but we’re not seeing the job growth that comes from the private sector, comes largely from small businesses.”
And Pataki knocked the White House for getting involved with whether Gov. David Paterson should run for election next year.
“”I just think it’s wrong,” Pataki said, according to GNS’s Jon Campbell, who listened in on the call. “Right now, we have an ongoing economic crisis, particularly on the jobs side, and that’s what the president should be focused on, along with Congress, and working to put in place policies that help us create jobs and not focusing on politics, particularly politics not even in Washington but at the state level.”
Pataki continued, “Everyone’s decision to run for office is a very personal decision. For someone from outside, particularly the President of the United States, to not just point out the pros and cons to someone in high public office but to actually, as is apparently was the case, tell them what they thought they should do, I just think is wrong. It’s wrong whether they look to push a Democrat not to run or whether they push a Republican not to run.”

pataki is correct..the president should not be interfering
in new york politics…if the democrats in new york aren’t
capable of letting patterson know that he needs to step
aside why is washington so eager to impose its solution
The answer is, of course, that now, with the President’s opinion privately asked for and answered up front, they can force Paterson to do their bidding or to get out of Cuomo’s way without risking the old, tired racism card being pulled by a player with an empty hand.
