Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick open to White House bid
Politico ^ | 02/24/2014 | By ALEXANDER BURNS

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signaled Sunday that he would be open to a White House bid at some point, though the governor has previously ruled out seeking the presidency in 2016.

Asked in an interview whether he could see himself as a national candidate — not necessarily in 2016 — the second-term Democrat responded: “Maybe. Maybe.”

“That’s a decision I have to make along with my wife of 30 years, and she’s a tough one to convince,” Patrick said. Prodded further, the former Justice Department official responded: “Let’s just see what time tells.”

Only the second African-American elected governor of a U.S. state, Patrick gave a blockbuster speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention declaring it was “time for Democrats to stiffen our backbone and stand up for what we believe.”

Of course he is. He’s another of the beige bolsheviks that David Axelrod specializes in pushing into high office. In fact, he was Obama v. 0.9.

Deval has an impressive record already.

The possible future?

Imagine: Ten thousand helpless children murdered
and raped each year, in foster homes across the USA
by known felons in Deval Patrick-DNC way.

Imagine: Every record of the DO”J” deliberately
corrupted to enable Holder to incarcerate anyone he wants,
anytime he wants. The Deval Patrick-DNC way.

He's a clueless BHO clone. When he ordered the shutdown of the area chasing after the surviving Boston Marathon bomber, he was going to take off for his mansion in Western MA, leaving the everybody else stranded.

BHO had to call and tell him to stay put...

True, very true.

I wonder how they’ll do it though. People are either going to be a racist or sexist, it’ll have them punching themselves in the mirror.

But he does have one thing going for him, he was masterful at taking away peoples rights after the bombing. So, the elite will love him for that.

On that front, her team failed to stop an unknown Senator from attaining the highest office.

Every weeks it’s a new scandal that anyone else would have been run out of office for. But not Cadillac Deval. We don’t even have a Lt. Governor to take his place because he was corrupt.

Another wild leftie who never takes responsibility for anything. He’s a walking disaster with a sweet girly voice.
