The Obama’s, yes both, along with Jesse Jackson Jr. and others, are named in the Rod Blagovich senate seat scandal...I said then, Rod was the white fall guy....The longer it goes, the more I know I am right.

“N.Y. Governor Orders Review of ACORN Contracts
New York Gov. David Paterson ordered state agencies Friday to put a 30-day hold on
contracts with the community organizing group ACORN and its affiliate, New York Agency for Community Affairs.
In a memo, the Budget Division cited Paterson's "continued efforts to ensure fiscal
accountability and integrity," directing the agencies to report "any potential issues."

In Washington, the House and Senate separately voted this week to deny all federal funds
for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the liberal-leaning group, which was accused last year of submitting some false voter registration forms in a massive voter-registration drive.”

Even when Bubba knew that Dinkins was toast for NYC Mayor he came to NY and campaigned for and with him.

This is a disgustingly opportunistic thing to do and will no doubt cause a backlash.

This is part of Obama’s plan to shove Andrew Cuomo into the campaign. Don’t forget, Cuomo ran HUD. He’s got ACORN connections.

If Paterson has an ounce of dignity left, he’ll tell Obama to shove off.

In the end, NY will get Rudy as governor.

"They expressed concern about his chances about being reelected and the likelihood his presence in the race made it more likely that Rudy Giuliani would enter the contest," the source said. "The preference is that he not run. That message was conveyed directly."

This is obviously not a leak of a confidential discussion. This is an announcement, from Obama himself.

And, speaking of racism, it is a predictable effort to portray Giuliani as the racist, as they continually did the last time he ran. It's all Giuliani's fault.

Finally, speaking of a blind black man, we might recall Obama's two Special Olympics jokes during the campaign last fall--although the press managed to bury one of them (the joke about waterheads).
