It Appears That Barack Obama Isn't the Only Black Politician With an Opinionated Wife Named Michelle ......Two days after getting a request from President Obama to decline running for re-election as Governor of New York, David Paterson is giving his answer: Kiss my Ass - and his wife is right there with him...
Michelle Paige Paterson was quite peeved at Our President's asking through a local congressman for her husband to step back for the sake of the Democratic Party. When asked at a NYC TV station, she had plenty to say.. "I have never heard of a president asking a sitting governor not to run. I thought it was very unusual, and very unfair." Mrs. Paterson also felt that her husband, who's approval rating is about 20%, is hurt by his legal blindness. "most definitely, I think that's why David really has to come out - people have to see who he is." So much for taking one for the team....
The Governor was about on the same level. Falling short of putting the blame at the feet of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is thumping all comers in the polls so far, Paterson instead placed Cuomo's staffers with the blame. Cuomo's people denied starting the rift.... But Paterson says he will be running in 2010,which sets up an expensive statewide battle for both candidates in some very expensive media markets. Now, if the Republicans could find a decent, viable candidate.....
What does this mean for the Paterson's? They're on an island unto themselves from this point on. They are fighting a battle that ultimately they will lose. After all, you don't screw with the Big O... But, it is interesting to watch the battle. Maybe the Two Michelle's can have a MMA Cage Match - or maybe thumb wrestle....

It does lead me to consider dropping a check to Patterson's campaign...
