White House: No reason to think Obama will support Crist

by Michael C. Bender | May 12th, 2009

gibbsFrom the White House press briefing today with President Obama’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs.

Q Will the President campaign against Governor Charlie Crist, who is one of the only Republican governors who supported his stimulus plan, but is he going to support –

MR. GIBBS: I’ve got a way to go before we get into the schedule of the fall elections.

Q Is he going to support the Democratic nominee in that race?

MR. GIBBS: We generally support Democratic nominees — I’ll say that tongue in cheek. And I think you have a sense of where the President’s party allegiance lies.

    POLITICAL MAKES FOR STRANGE BED FELLOWS – CRIST SUPPORTED OBAMA’S STIMULATE PKG. BECAUSE OF FLORIDA….BUT I DON’T FEEL CRIST SHOULD HAVE GONE AFTER THE SENATE SEAT FOR HE IS NEEDED AS GOVERNOR MORE ON FLORIDA ISSUES – HE IS ONLY RUNNING FOR SENATE BECAUSE HE GOT MARRIED WHEN HE THOUGHT HE COULD HAVE BECOME A VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE TO MCCAIN – BOTH TOOK MY SUGGESTIONS REG. DRILLING ON WEST COAST OF FLORIDA WHICH WOULD MAKE USA AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY AGAIN.

    AND I HOPE FLORIDA IS NOT TAKING ADVANCE OF OUR FLORIDA INDIANS WHICH FOR A VERY LONG TIME WOULD NOT TALK TO THE WHITE MAN AND HELD A GRUDGE AGAINST WHITE MAN FOR TAKING THEIR LAND WAY BACK WHEN….

    I HOPE THEY MAKE MONEY WITH GAMING TO BUY BACK FLORIDA – THEY ARE THE MOST COLORFUL PEOPLE WE HAVE LEFT…BOTH TRIBES….

    EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE AROUND SCHOOLS BUT PROPERTY TAXES IN FL – GOES TO SCHOOLS – THE LOTTERY MONIES TO SCHOOLS AND NOW TAKING MONEY FROM FLA INDIANS FOR SCHOOLS AND TALLAHASSEE DONE AWAY WITH EDUCATION COMMISSIONER – WHICH WAS WRONG….WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY REALLY GOING….I FEEL TO SALARIES AT THE TOP AND THEY SEEM TO BE SAYING THE HELL WITH ALL OTHER PEOPLE…..

    ROAD RANGERS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL FLORIDA AND NOT JUST THREE COUNTIES – VIRGINA HAS IT FOR WHOLE STATE….

    TRI RAIL SHOULD BE FROM MIAMI TO JACKSONVILLE WHERE IS THIS MONIES GOING TO MISBUDGETING

    AND SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD HAVE THE LOCK BOX AS IT WAS INTENDED WHEN STARTED TO HELP SENIORS AND DISABLED PEOPLE. IT WOULD NOT BE IN SITUATION LIKE IT IS TODAY…..

    URGENT COMPLAINT – PLUS FEDERAL LAW FOR NO CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING SHOULD BE A MUST..

    THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MY OPINION
