President Obama has reportedly asked New York Governor David Paterson to drop his bid to win election in his own right, fearing that he would hurt Democrats down ballot.

The decision to ask Mr. Paterson to step aside was proposed by political advisers to Mr. Obama, but approved by the president himself, one of the administration officials said. Is there concern about the situation in New York? Absolutely, the second administration official said Saturday evening. Has that concern been conveyed to the governor? Yes. The administration officials and the Democratic operative spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions with the governor were intended to be confidential.

NYT reporters Raymond Hernandez and Jeff Zeleny echo my reaction:

The move against a sitting Democratic governor represents an extraordinary intervention into a state political race by the president, and is a delicate one, given that Mr. Paterson is one of only two African-American governors in the nation. But Mr. Obamas political team and other party leaders have grown increasingly worried that the governors unpopularity could drag down Democratic members of Congress in New York, as well as the Democratic-controlled Legislature, in next falls election.

Obviously, the race issue is a non-factor coming from a biracial president who self-identifies as black. But it is indeed extraordinary for a president to involve himself in the selection of his parties candidates for local elections, much less urge incumbents to withdraw. So, why?

The general election is more than a year away, but Mr. Obama and his political team are moving now in part because of signals from Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, that he may run for governor, according to Democrats who have spoken with White House officials. Many Democratic leaders believe that Mr. Giulianis presence at the top of the Republican ticket could spark enthusiasm among his partys voters, who might otherwise have little desire to go to the polls.

Leading Democrats in the state have expressed deep concern about Mr. Patersons ability to hold on to the office. But most have been wary of openly suggesting he step aside. The White House move could give them cover to abandon Mr. Paterson and endorse another candidate, most likely Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been debating for months whether to take on Mr. Paterson in a primary.

A sitting president has long been considered the nominal head of his party. Obama seems to be taking that to its logical conclusion. Theres not really any reason he shouldnt use his influence behind the scenes in this manner, although its yet another step down the rather depressing road of presidents thinking they actually run the country rather than just heading up one of three branches of the central government in a federal system.

POCANTICO HILLS, N.Y. - President Barack Obama set aside the pressures of the world's trouble spots on Saturday to assume the role of spectator for something more joyous: the wedding of the Obama family's longtime chef and friend.

Chef Sam Kass and MSNBC host Alex Wagner were tying the knot in an evening ceremony at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, a farm-to-table restaurant in Pocantico Hills, just north of New York City.

Obama and Kass have a close relationship, which Obama highlighted earlier this month by spending hours at dinner at Kass' apartment amid the turmoil in Iraq, Ukraine and Ferguson, Missouri.

It's long been said that time is a president's most precious commodity. That Obama would spend five hours at Kass' home on one of the aide's final evenings as a bachelor was a testament to their bond.

Obama's rounds of golf are often his only other outings that last as long - and those games sometimes include Kass.

Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, were attending the ceremony at the restaurant, which is a favorite of both Kass and Mrs. Obama. The first lady hosted the spouses of world leaders there in 2010.

Obama wore a dark suit, and Mrs. Obama and their daughters each wore sleeveless black cocktail dresses.

The union of Kass, 34, and Wagner, 36, also served to highlight what some contend is too much togetherness between the media and the people they report on. Naturally, the guest list is expected to include staff from both the White House and the liberal-leaning cable news outlet, with people from both sides breaking bread at the same dinner table.

Obama attends wedding of longtime personal chef to MSNBC host

President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their two daughters Saturday attended the wedding of their longtime friend and food guru Sam Kass to media personality Alex Wagner at a farm outside New York City, the White House said.

Kass is officially Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition Policy and executive director of Let's Move, Michelle Obama's child health initiative that seeks to combat childhood obesity.

He has a been a friend of and cook for the Obama family since the 2000s, when he began preparing food for the family in their Chicago home.

Wagner is the host of "Now with Alex Wagner," a liberal-leaning show on MSNBC.

Kass and Wagner's wedding took place at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, a farm-to-table restaurant. Cattle were grazing in a meadow by the road and dozens of chickens were scurrying about an enclosure as the president's motorcade swept into the farm.
