“We did not model the State of the State logo off of the president’s logo,” said Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing.
How Obama would like to spend his time
Said Mr. Love, who has probably spent more time with Mr. Obama in recent years than anyone other than the first lady: “The president would prefer to watch the Bears, White Sox or Bulls, or any sports matchup, instead of watching MSNBC or watching 13 Republican presidential debates.”

I honestly do not know to this day what the Obama administration did, if they had information and decided not to move forward, or if they just dropped the investigations in an early state — I don’t know
