From WBEN.com:
While many other Democratic dignitaries will be on hand to welcome President Barack Obama, don’t expect any glad-handing from Gov. David Paterson when Obama visits Buffalo.
The only item on the governor’s official schedule today is a radio interview in New York City, and apparently won’t be in Buffalo.
Earlier this week, he told WBEN that – as of that time– he was uncertain of whether he would be in town and just one day after the event was announced publicly Paterson said he didn’t know if he was invited.
“In his own way, I think the Governor was expressing his unhappiness that the courtesy of giving him a heads up, letting him know that the President of the United States is coming into the state that he heads, wasn’t given to him,” says New York Post editor and Albany commentator Fred Dicker.
