….Andrew Cuomo is enjoying a 70% approval rating in his first weeks as New York’s Governor is a clear example of how uninformed the manipulative media keeps us.
If New York’s Republicans had fielded a genuine candidate in last November’s Gubernatorial Election we would have learned more about the gross culpability of now Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Fannie/Freddie mortgage collapses.
