The state's first black governor yesterday blamed his political woes -- and those of President Obama -- on a white-dominated media that he accused of taking part in an "orchestrated" attack campaign."Even our own reporters from our own community buy the public line, which is, 'We're going to get rid of David Paterson.' "
Paterson cited critical stories about his late-night partying at a Chelsea nightclub on the eve of a painful budget announcement as proof of the media's bias.
"The next victim on the list -- and you see it coming -- is President Barack Obama, who did nothing more than try to reform a health-care system . . . only because he's trying to make change," Paterson said.

I didn't even realize they had a black governor in New York. Does that make me a racist?
He forgets that it was a black woman who outed him to the media becuase she was sick of seeing him at the club.
Incompetence is race neutral.
"How about the people of New York just think you're doing a crappy job?"
He just doesn't see it that way Digit.
Sorry - cheap shot.
