| Description | PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Welcome to Rhode Island, Mister President!
The political world is all atwitter this morning over Democrat Frank Caprio's decision to take to the august airwaves of WPRO to tell President Obama he can "take his endorsement and really shove it." (Rhode Island's would-be next governor left it to our imaginations to figure out where, precisely, the Leader of the Free World should shove said endorsement.)
"We had one of the worst floods in the history of the United States a few months back and President Obama didn't even do a flyover of Rhode Island," Caprio said, according to WPRO. "He ignored us and now he's coming into Rhode Island and treating us like an ATM machine." The station has posted the full audio of the interview here .
Although Bill Clinton came to the Ocean State to campaign for Caprio, Obama – whose presidential run was endorsed by Caprio opponent Lincoln Chafee – has stayed silent in the race . Obama will be in Rhode Island today to support congressional candidates David Cicilline and Jim Langevin and to raise money on Providence's East Side. (U.S. Sen. Scott Brown will be making his own visit to back Cicilline's opponent, John Loughlin.) |
