Gov. David Paterson blames calls for him to step aside on race: "ALBANY - Gov. Paterson blamed a racist media Friday for trying to push him out of next year's election - launching into an angry rant that left even some black Democrats shaking their heads.
'The whole idea is to get me not to run in the primary,' Paterson complained on a morning radio show hosted by Daily News columnist Errol Louis.
He suggested that Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the country's only other African-American governor, also is under fire because of his race.
'We're not in the post-racial period,' Paterson said.
'The reality is the next victim on the list - and you can see it coming - is President Barack Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system.'"
A very weak leader who can not accept that he has bad policy and plays the race card.
