New York Governor Worries Obama will Forget about New York

New York Gov. David Patterson, a big supporter of Obama, fears that if the presidential nominee becomes president, he will neglect New York's fiscal needs.

"If he's president and he know he can always depend on winning New York, we may have the same problems with him that we had with President Clinton. Clinton raised all this money in New York and then went down to Washington. We didn't see any change in reimbursement rate from Washington while he was president." said Patterson on Monday.

The governor claims that Democratic contenders have a history of collecting contributions and electoral votes from New York, then ignoring the state's struggles once elected because it's a reliably blue state.
