7:17 pm
be considering asking for as many as 40,000 more troops for afghanistan, so that will be something to watch. the president said he did not have a timetable for pulling u.s. troops out of afghanistan, but also not one who believes in keeping troops there indefinitely, julie. >> all right, mike emanuel. thank you very, very much. maybe you shouldn't run, according to a new york times report, that's the suggestion president obama sent new york's governor david paterson ahead of next year's election, the times democratic sources saying the white house thinks patterson is a political liability, they fear his low approval rating in the state right now could hurt fellow new york democrats running in 2010. paterson already saying that he plans to seek reelection, but a senior administration official telling fox, quote, president obama is not involved in any way. well, still, this same source saying the white house thinks paterson is an extremely tough political environment. paterson taking over as the
