Tensions Simmer Between White House Democrats Over New York State Primary. (FoxNews.com, July 3, 2009.) Maloney To Take On Gillibrand In Primary. (AP Wire, July 3, 2009.) Rep. Mahoney Vows To Challenge Gillibrand. ( The New York Daily News, July 3, 2009.)
I chose these three headlines as sources for this story because I couldn’t find anything in the Obama’s propaganda organ – the elitist New York Times. I believe the reason they haven’t front paged this story is to protect their man in the White House. All three of these articles indicated that Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel is furious over the matter, ( I wonder given Obama’s inability to take hard criticism if he can handle this challenge to his authority without lighting up a cigarette.)
The funniest thing about this story is that former President Bill Clinton is heading her fund raising campaign, ( time for a little pay back Barak.) On top of that Rep. Charley Rangel, (NY – D), told the White House to keep their nose out of the New York Primary – this after V.P. Joe Biden was sent as an emissary by the White House to try to persuade Mahoney not to challenge their pick in the primary, (I would guess she politely told him to stuff it.)
Hyperbole aside – Obama is being challenged by members of his own party who think that N.Y. Governor Patterson’s appointment to fill Hillary Clinton’s former Senate seat was a slap in the face to Mahoney, (more payback Barak), who doesn’t care what Obama wants, she’s going to run in the Democratic Primary – let’s hope she wins. This “hollow man” President has been getting a free ride all his life, it’s about time that someone challenged him. Just my opinion.
