In New York, All Eyes on Obama and Paterson’s Meeting New York Times, September 2009
At 11 a.m. on Monday, President Obama stepped
off Air Force One and
greeted the governor of New York on an airport tarmac here, the two men
crossing paths for the first time since news broke that the White House
was urging Gov. David A. Paterson to
drop out of the 2010 election.Every interaction between them was
scrutinized, from their first handshake, which was awkward, to the
tenor of the president’s introductions during a speech, to the
governor’s absence at a brief meeting between the president and other
state officials.But even as all eyes were focused on the
president’s visit, there was more bad news for the governor from inside
the state Democratic Party.At
a meeting on Monday afternoon, held at a cigar bar in Midtown Manhattan
and organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton, an ally of
the governor, some influential Democrats and labor leaders gathered to
discuss the deteriorating state of Mr. Paterson’s fortunes.ADVERTISEMENTWhile
there was sympathy for the governor and some resentment of the White
House’s involvement, according to people with knowledge of the meeting,
it was also a discussion about “what the other options are” for Mr.
Paterson.
