Where are New York Governor Cuomo and Attorney General Schneiderman?

[ProSense]

In fact, where are all the Governors and AGs on the police clashes with protesters?

On edit, I know the Republican officials don't give a damn.

1. Following Obama?

Maybe they are all afraid of getting 'sprayed'?

[ProSense]

2. Why

"Following Obama?"

...would they choose this moment to do that?

[BeFree]

3. Cause Obama isn't saying anything?

If the president won't lead, or is actually leading, then why should they?

Do you? Have you? Will you?

5. So

"If the president won't lead, or is actually leading, then why should they?"

...when they don't agree with the President what do they do...wander around like they're lost?

6. Do presidents typically step in when a municipal officer misbehaves?

I'm outspoken about this.

The president has no business in these affairs unless and until they reach a clear pattern of disregard of civil rights or a breach of constitutional rights.

Cities and states have agencies and mechanisms, and not until these are exhausted does the federal government become involved.

Civics 101, US History 101.

Sheesh.

Blaming Obama is just so historically incomprehensible.

And federal intervention is not something we want to become too common because next time they might come to fuck with our side.

4. No one seemed to care under the Bush WH for 8 years

so I guess they are seeing how their poll numbers will change if they get involved.

8. I thought AG Schneiderman was going to personally indict every banker in NY

Just kidding - take the $25 billion like Obama said!

[ProSense]

9. Well,

I'm guessing the Governor and AG are going to lay low and that's just fine?
