Mayor Now Says He Supported Obama

Mayor Now Says He Supported Obama

As you remember because he is an independent, Julian’s mayor attended both presidential conventions to both political partys’ dismay. Since the mayor’s stealth re-election and his January Inauguration (boy, will the attendees remember that party for awhile), the court proceedings on his indictment are grinding along slowly and he has been laying very low. The only thing heard out of him in the last few months was his public condemnation of ex-governor Blagojevich of Illinois for being more corrupt and greedy than most politicians. However, wanting to share in the fallout from the high approval ratings in the polls that follow President Obama, he has just now revealed that he supported the president in the November election but he didn’t want to say so at the time because he is an independent. He said, “Just to show how independent I am, I would have been willing to have supported McCain if he had won.”
