(Marx) Dayton says his mystery trip pitted secrecy against jobs for Minnesota

Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday was steadfast in his insistence that he did the right thing by keeping the target of his economic development trip last week a mystery.

"I went because I am trying to get jobs for Minnesota and part of that is meeting with businesses who don’t share my willingness to be put in the public limelight," he told reporters on Tuesday, the first day he met with the media since his mystery mission. "If I am going to have to disclose where I went in that kind of situation, it is going to cost me the opportunity to try to jobs in Minnesota."

Dayton, who left the state last Thursday for the day on an economic development mission but did not say where he went, flashed a bit of annoyance at the media for peppering him with questions about the trip.

"If we announced this and (said where we were going) I wonder how many of you would have even thought it was worth a story. It is really disappointing how it has been blown out of context," Dayton said.

I can’t wait to find out what these “jobs” are and why the hugh and series secrecy. If they are going to give their answer in a mere few weeks, this can’t be that big of a deal. And if they say no, we’ll never know. Because, as we know, it’s a secret!

He is psycho! And he's got CRAZY eyes! No wonder his wife divorced him. How would you like to wake up in the middle of the night and see CRAZY eyes staring at you. It would be like a horror movie out of hell. And to think, MN voters voted for this crazy-eyed psycho!

Unfortunately I live in MN, with Crazy eyes Dayton, buffoon clown & fellow psycho Al Franken(stein) and muzzzlim terrorist supporter Keith Ellison. I gotta leave this crazy state when I retire in the next 5 years or so. I hate RAT bastard demoRATs with a passion!

I expect the media will be on this like they were with SC Gov. Mark Sanford.
