Cute picture of Governor Cuomo being sworn in with his family and Sandra Lee present. The daughters are looking only at her out of the side of their eyes while the Cuomo parents look at him adoringly. Must say the senior Cuomos look great, you can see how proud they are. I remember when there was talk of Cuomo, Sr. making a run for the President. Too bad he didn't, he would have been great.

1. Cuomo and Lee have been together for FIVE years.

The girls call her their 'weekend mom'.

2. LOL - are you sure that's awe?

It looks like a mocking side-eye to me, possibly born of tablescape-related trauma...

6. Now he gets started against teachers' and other public unions...

Another Democratic leader taking on teachers' unions like we are the enemy or something.

Andrew Cuomo, his running mate, and "New Democratic Party" to fight public employee unions?

"BUFFALO, NY (WBFO) - There are plenty of signs at the State Democratic Convention in Rye, New York, touting the "new Democratic party."

The party's choice for governor, Andrew Cuomo, seemed to downplay the issue when he addressed reporters in New York City Wednesday. He says it's not really a re-branding.

"What the Democratic Party is all about is growth and change," Cuomo said. "It's a new day. There are new problems that need new approaches. And that is what's meant by the new Democratic Party."

.."One change from the "old" Democratic party seems to be the willingness of Cuomo and his running mate Robert Duffy to take on a powerful constituency -- the public employee unions. Duffy has battled with union leaders in Rochester over some of his controversial proposals, including his call for more control of city schools. Cuomo says he respects that.

"Yes, he tangled with public employee unions," Cuomo said. "Guess what, we're going to be tangling with public employee unions going forward."

8. granted, i dont know this mans politics, but, i dont think the education issue isn't the same

with what you are referring to about the new democrat.

we have a lot of democrats on du that beat up teachers too.

i personally think they are ill informed and flat out wrong. but i also think they are genuinely democrats trying to fix a problem. i think their answer to the problem is so far off, though.
