When New York Governor Paterson ’snubbed’ Obama
By ANIMonday, May 17, 2010
NEW YORK - U.S. President Barack Obama and New York Governor David Alexander Paterson seem to be having a cold war of their own these days.
Some time back, Obama made it clear that he felt Paterson should forget about running for a full term.
So when Obama was speaking Thursday night in Midtown, Paterson was a block away at the Barneys Penthouse at a party hosted by Olympic fencers Tim Morehouse and Jason Rogers and Vault.com co-founder Sam Hamadeh to benefit UN sports programs for kids in war-torn areas - all was obviously not well.
According to the New York Post, when one guest asked why he wasn’t at Obama’s speech, a smiling Paterson was overheard saying, “Who?”
A Paterson spokesman, however, said, “There was no snub.” (ANI)
