Cuomo's Quote Update
The full context suggests the "shuck and jive" metaphor was not referring to Obama at all:
Update: We just talked with Karlin, who told us that Cuomo's "shuck and jive" remark was "so far removed, temporally and contextually, from any discussion of Obama," that he didn't hear it as a reference to Obama at all. Karlin pointed us to Newsday's Spin Cycle blog, which has posted a partial transcript of the radio interview made from a tape provided to it by Cuomo's office. The transcript confirms that Cuomo was answering a general question about the retail nature of politics in Iowa and New Hampshire generally, and there's nothing in his long answer to suggest that he was referring to Obama rather than to politicians in general.
