One was a resignation in the face of recall - so a "D" replacement could be appointed instead an election.And FYI the big weapon they used in the recalls ( 3 for 3) was the IPhone.

Not now but last year, but good point nonetheless.And now Cuomo is playing the " blame game " http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/03/foghorn/cuomo-blames-bloomberg-brady-campaign-for-safe-act/
Colorado Governor Hickenlooper explains that some staffer committed him to sign the legislation before he had a chance to review it or the facts behind standard capacity magazines. He also admits he didn't explore any of the issues surrounding banning the magazines prior to signing the legislation and only had come to the realization how ineffective the law is after the fact.
This nugget came from the same conversation with Colorado sheriffs where he lied about talking with Bloomberg instead of the sheriffs for advice on crafing the law.

Videos like this need to be shoved in face of our esteemed MA representatives. The need to realize they don't know what they're doing prior hastily to voting for this crap.
+1Easy fix - have him send a bill to repeal...
Seriously, this Obama defense of "at no time did the administration know what the administration was doing" is even more offensive than "is is".
If you are that incompetent, then you have no business running a state or country - resign. If you are not incompetent, then you are just a criminal/tyrant.
So, pick one and either door leads to the exit...
Hick is standing there lying to the sheriffs. They know it, he knows it.
The remarks, he said Friday, were an effort to apologize to sheriffs who felt their voices weren’t heard during last year’s legislative process, not a disavowal of the magazine ban itself.
“I didn’t say it’s unenforceable, I said it’s difficult to enforce,” Hickenlooper said. “A lot of laws are difficult to enforce; that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be there. If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again.”
He also acknowledged the heartburn his apparent backpedaling may have caused the families of gun violence victims who supported the tougher gun control laws.
“I didn’t know that this was public, that this was going to be recorded,” Hickenlooper said. “If any of those families — if I caused them any offense, I certainly regret that. A large part of why we went through that process and why those bills got passed is that we didn’t want any family going through what they’ve already had to go through.”
"Progressives" in both parties are pushing us into a "Culture War" between city dwellers and non-city dwellers. Unfortunately, they are and will use density and the "tyranny of the majority" to great effect.Hick will go into the history books as the man who "fundamentally changed" (heard that term before?) Colorado. The gun laws were the catalyst for the exodus from Colorado. He's welcomed the illegals in, made the citizens unwelcome. I'll always think of Colorado as home, but I'm never going back. It's changed, it's changing further, and it won't change back.
Since when do staff members make "commitments" for the boss without the approval of the boss?
