Cuomo Stays Mum On Political Future

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 04, 2010

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo wouldn’t fire back this morning after Gov. David Paterson accused him of a “Rose Garden strategy” and being afraid to say where he stands on the state’s issues.

As usual, Cuomo deflected questions about his political intentions and the questions about if and when he will announce his candidacy for governor.

“I didn’t hear what the governor said. As I have said, I am the attorney general of the state of New York. I was elected to do a job,” Cuomo said on a conference call this morning to announce fraud charges against Bank of America.

“I get paid for that job every day by the people of the state, and that’s the job that I’m doing.”

He continued, “I’m confronting the issues that are facing New Yorkers. I think today’s a good example of that. We are protecting the taxpayers of this state.”

Cuomo was also asked about whether he has any concerns about the controversial deal by Gov. David Paterson to award the Aqueduct racetrack gaming contract to a group that includes the Rev. Floyd Flake, an influential African-American pastor who met with Paterson just days after the Democratic governor announced the deal.

Cuomo would only say, “We have no investigation on that matter at this time.”

    “Defender of the Faith” Cuomo knows that VJ Machiavelli is right. he should remain “Defender of the Faith” but if he does run for “Lord” of the Empire State he will have to clean up “PENSIOGATE” before he runs.

    That could mean destroying the Democ”RATS” and tell everybody how DiNapoli was selected and elected by the legislature.

    Before there was the “Oracle at Delphi” there was
