*the chorus of people who believe he should not run for election next year want to keep him out of the race because he is black*
It couldn't be because he's incompetent ??? Bob August 21, 2009, *1:42 pm* Paterson Brings Up Racism for His Low Standing By The New York Times<http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/author/the-new-york-times/> [image: paterson] Gov. David A. Paterson<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/david_a_paterson/index.html>said on Friday that the chorus of people who believe he should not run for election next year want to keep him out of the race because he is black. "We're not in the post-racial period," said Mr. Paterson, according to an article posted on The Daily News Web site<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/08/21/2009-08-21_gov_david_paterson_blames_call_for_.html>, which cited an interview the governor provided to a radio program hosted by Errol Louis, a Daily News columnist. "My feeling is it's being orchestrated, it's a game, and people who pay attention know that," he said. "We have a media that doesn't report the news. We have a media that wants to make the news." Mr. Paterson — whose approval ratings and support even among fellow Democrats have dipped this year<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/27/nyregion/27campaign.html>— also mentioned Deval L. Patrick<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/deval_l_patrick/index.html>, the Massachusetts governor and the country's only other current black governor, and suggested that criticisms leveled against him are based on race. "The reality is the next victim on the list, and you can see it coming, is President Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system," Mr. Paterson said. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/message/306998;_ylc=X3oDMTM5dGxkbHFkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRtc2dJZAMzMDY5OTgEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMjUwODk4MTM2BHRwY0lkAzMwNjk5OA-->( 1) Reply (via web post) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJzbHJvMGxyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRtc2dJZAMzMDY5OTgEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMjUwODk4MTM2?act=reply&messageNum=306998>| Start a new topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJma2UycHE4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyNTA4OTgxMzY-> Messages<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYmI4NzZ2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzEyNTA4OTgxMzY->| Files<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJnc3F1Z2hwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNmaWxlcwRzdGltZQMxMjUwODk4MTM2>| Photos<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMGQxMmxyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEyNTA4OTgxMzY->| Links<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJnajI1czh1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNsaW5rcwRzdGltZQMxMjUwODk4MTM2>| Calendar<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hope4America/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJlcXM2N25nBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNjAzNTU3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMwMzI5NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNjYWwEc3RpbWUDMTI1MDg5ODEzNg--> IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM!
