Ex-Dem Gov of NY Patterson suggests Obama may be getting away with treason

Obama threw Patterson under the bus in 209. Payback is hell.

Democrat personality David Paterson, former governor of New York and now a talk-radio host on WOR in New York City, has suggested Barack Obama could be ineligible for the Oval Office and “got away” with it.

And Paterson compared Obama’s actions to those of Richard Nixon, which he likened to treason.

On his show yesterday, he was asserting, along with NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney should have distanced himself more from developer Donald Trump and his doubts about Obama’s eligibility.

“Even if he wasn’t born in the United States at this point,” Paterson said. “It’s kind of like he got away with it.”

He continued, “A lot of people get away with a lot of things.”

Paterson compared Obama’s actions to those of President Richard Nixon.

“We learned later that Nixon spied on Johnson’s Paris peace talks,” Paterson said. “That was actually an act of … uh … I mean it was against the interests of the U.S. government. You’ve got to say that before you would say it’s treason. But he got away with it. Decided it wasn’t a good thing to bring up at that particular time. Not only did he get away with it, he won the election.” Keep on reading...

NY Governor Paterson: 'Tax the rich' isn't working

According to the Manhattan Institute, 41 percent of New York state income taxes are paid by the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkers. Americans no longer have the geographic loyalty they once had. The wealthy are voting with their feet and moving to locations with lower tax rates. This will make economic recovery even more difficult for hard hit states like New York. It looks like New York Gov. David Paterson and Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch are starting to get the message.


The Times Union reported:

"You heard the mantra, 'Tax the rich, tax the rich,' " Gov. David Paterson said Wednesday at a gathering of newspaper editors at an Associated Press event in Syracuse. "We've done that. We've probably lost jobs and driven people out of the state."

"People aren't wedded to a geographic place as they once were. It's a different world," New York Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch said.
