Christie for better or for worse, is real - real reactions, real emotion. It's bad when he goes after a guy on the Shore with an ice cream cone, but in this case, it's a plus.<br /><br />Dunno if Bloomberg cares about people (I truly don't think he cares about individuals, though he seems to like people in the abstract) but even if he does, he sure seems cut off from his emotions.<br /><br />Some people liked the monotone updates. I think Wolfson is loading Mayor Mikey up with percosets right before he comes out.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-5612987841854320832012-10-31T15:57:32.198-04:002012-10-31T15:57:32.198-04:00Once again, I agree with you--and I'm sure I&#...Once again, I agree with you--and I'm sure I'll go back to finding fault with Christie in the not too distant future. Ditto Cuomo. I think the main difference is that Christie,whether you like him or not, is real and it actually seemed that he really cared about the people affected by this disaster. He was emotional and he tends to say whatever the fuck he feels like saying at the time too. I do have to admire that. Bloomberg acts like the whole thing bores him. At his afternoon press conference he rattled stuff off in a bored monotone, like he had to get through this , but he'd rather be someplace else. I think that if his handling of the disaster proves anything it is that he doesn't care in the least about the little guy. We, of course, already knew this, but I think he spread this message to a larger audience. I know I'll also go back to disliking Cuomo with a vengeance too, but he did act like a real leader this time and I believe that his actions forced Bloombucks into the position of having to do the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
