new york lt. governor david paterson 13 march 2008

[rickmilford]

yea i dont know about him most politicians are really not that bright they think you can just "fix" things but I do believe in more spending for good social programs that help peops and give them the necessities of life maybe Obama will help with that time will tell

[tfpetr]

I think Paterson is a moron! Anybody that would impose an 18% tax on soda-pop when people cannot afford to pay the rent is an idiot! He calls the tax the "obesity tax", what an idiot! The guy is worse then Bush and running neck and neck with Cheney!

If this guy is not voted out, then I am going to move out of NY state!

"DOWN WITH PATERSON"

Tom

[heartsspades28]

I agree, he is the worse!

I mean c'mon an obesity tax!

I'm originally from Michigan, ppl laughed when I told them this...

He has to go! I agree, and he talks about how they made fun of him on SNL, who gives a damn, they make fun of everyone.

[SiCMXer185]

NY was always in the shitter and will always be in the shitter. Paterson is just the icing on the cake. He was a replacement for Spitzer....and that's all he'll ever be. A 4th string replacement that belongs on the special-ed team

[heartsspades28]

I live in upstate NY, be glad when he's outta there! Not many like him at all, not here in Syracuse...

I can tell ya that in a NY minute!

[tfpetr]

I think Paterson is the worse politician I have ever seen. He is making NY state a worse place to live and I cannot wait til he is voted out!

Tom

[timmyj40]

this dude is a perv him his wife the ex governor,spitzer...jim mcgreavy...that mayor out of san fransisco...larry creig..gosh ..gay marriege in ca & ny were all surrounded by freaks and perverts..GODS JUDGEMENT may soon come to the usa.

[jhk1987]

haha i like you username. so true so true. i think you could have refrained from saying "negro", but i was kind of amazed when i found out he was black. he looks like more of a mix, and he doesnt sound black

[SiCMXer185]

yea, he doesn't sound black at all. he's got that retard speech impediment

[hudson19947]

Whoaa! wait a minute. How dare u talk abt the governor. At least he's hones abt his shortcomings and willing to stand up to take on such a task as governor. Just because he's legally blind doesn't mean he's a retard.

[yuvalhan123]

thats not cool to say tht but ok

[Politeama]

Apparently there is an attraction for this kind of immoral people to politics, if they are not perverts they are cheaters, or whatever, but they are not decent people. No morals, I imagine their kids. What an example to society, they should be banned from public service. They are sick.

[hetropride]

Another scumbag that waited until after he was sworn in to proclaim his lack of integrity doing basically the same thing as the guy just got booted out of office. There should be a recall but he is a democrat and this behavior is usually celebrated.

[sunlionness2007]

where have they been hiding this fine man?

[Cooman456]

In the lt. governor's office!

[ns0710]

Haha. He's not hiding any longer!

[hhanyu]

He has a nice sense of humor.

[StellarMortem]

Paterson also has cheated on his wife!

NY Daily News Today....

[Cooman456]

Yeah, but it was 8 years ago, and his wife was also having an affair, and they worked through it. And Paterson admitted it right off the bat. He probably didn't even have to, but his honesty urged him to admit the truth. But he didn't see any prostitutes, unless you count the lobbyists!

[hudson19947]

Who doesn't have skeletons in their closet. If they opened up all closets on capitol hill there would be skeletions as tall as the rotunda!!

What a laugh!!

[Cooman456]

Paterson for president in 2016! He won't be president in 2012 because he will be a very popular governor and run for election in his own right.

[SpraggArias]

I like his humor and the way he speaks.

[thegiffordfam]

funny.if you pay attention,when he askes for questions and the first reporter does just that..at about 03:00..paterson seems like he has no idea.can't handle too many words at a time unless he's got his fingers on his Braille.Hopefully he's got some smart people pulling his strings if you know what i mean.Oh, and for those who don't know,he tried to pass a law in nyc for it to be illegal for police to shoot to kill.sorry but if my mom is being raped, hell yeah i want the police to shoot to kill.

[ElitePirateUpsilon]

Mark my words, This guy is going to become president in '12 or '16. You heard it here first.

[SpraggArias]

hhmmm, I heard the speech he gave to becoming the next governor of NY today, it made my heart thump, I never felt that from any of the presidential candidates today ....so we'll see....:)

[nolan1186]

hell yeah

[Ajax130]

Paterson is the best. NY is in good hands.

[aitraining]

He can't be any worse than that useless piece of shit he's replacing.

[ojmccaf1963]

YOU GO MY BROTHER!!

I think it's awesome having an African American (visually impaired) incoming governor!!

But how ignorant are some people, I was watching his first press conferance and some idiot reporter had to ask if he's ever been with a prostitute! How dare that reporter

Peterson's response "Only the lobbylist"

YOU GO! NEW GOV OF NY!! WOOHOOO

AND I'M NOT EVEN FROM NEW YORK!!

[823077]

David Paterson is an American born in Brooklyn New York. He was not born in Africa.

[ojmccaf1963]

Why is the media saying he's an African American?? Political Correctness?? I do think it's awesome anyway! Wasn't mean to be rude, sorry.

[823077]

When people refer to themselves as African American or Italian American they are making it so much harder to unite this country. My grandparents came to the U.S from Ireland they were called Irish Americans. I was born in this country, when asked what I am I reply an American.

[sirfingerlock]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Claiming your heritage is dividing the country? So in order for the country to be united you have to "reject and denounce" your heritage? Please

[sirfingerlock]

And Italians in Bensonhurst have never stepped on foot in Italy. What's your point?

[823077]

You'd have to spend a moment thinking about it, It's just basic logic. If the Italians you refer to were born in Italy, would you say the were American?

[sirfingerlock]

And Italians in Bensonhurst have never stepped on foot in Italy. What's your point?
