Massachusetts was excited to have their own Obama in Deval Patrick and they ushered him into the Governor's mansion with hopes that every day would be sunshine and they would float on clouds. That's an exaggeration, but at least the media seemed to be in love with him. But as we know, all love affairs must end.
Remember a while back when I blogged about Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick in trouble because he chooses to drive a Caddy instead of a Crown Victoria, even though there was a lot of evidence that the Crown Victoria becomes a deathly death trap of death if you get an accident?
Well, people are also mad at him because he hired his wife, who is a lawyer at a private firm, an assistant on the taxpayer's dollar. When he complained about the critics, calling it a "hazing," the media blasted him for playing the victim.

They are also mad that he said he's going to scale down some of his hours on the job to spend more time with his wife. After all, this is a delicate time for them. They only been married 22 years so they need this time to really get to know each other. Priorities people! I was sort of making fun of him until I found out that his wife is ill and then I felt like a jackass. I hope everything works out.
