President Obama has asked New York Governor David Paterson to withdraw from the state's 2010 governor's race for fear that the embattled fellow Democrat cannot regroup from a series of political setbacks, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

The Obama administration is worried Paterson's unpopularity could also drag down Democratic members of Congress in New York and the Democratic-controlled state legislature in the November 2010 election, the Times said.


Citing an administration official, the Times reported that Obama's request that Paterson step aside was put forward by the president's political advisers, but approved by him.

The sob is trying to make his move into states' affairs, another shove toward his dream of a dictatorship.

I agree this move is politically shrewd. If Paterson stays in the race Obama can claim their losses are because of Paterson and not the abominable record of Obama. Very clever alright.
