NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mayor Bill de Blasio said New Yorkers don't appreciate his "very special" accomplishments since he took office in January 2014, and criticized the actions of his predecessors and even President Barack Obama, according to a Rolling Stone interview.

De Blasio, who has fulfilled a campaign promise to establish universal pre-Kindergarten education and is pressing forward with other reform programs, was quoted as saying out-of-towners see his administration' more clearly than his own constituents.

When it comes to New York City mayors patting themselves on the back, de Blasio said, Rudy Giuliani is legendary.

Uh, yeah, despite all of Rudy's faults, at least he was a competent Mayor, Komrade deBlasio.

Isn’t that special, Walter Wilhelm snarks at people far more accomplished as well as far more intelligent than he.

Egads man, cut him some slack!

His "significant other" is a hat trick diversity babe; black, a woman, and a former lesbian.

It don't get any better than that in the proper NY social circles.

New Yorkers can recognize a con-man from quite some distance. As for de Blasio, he reeks of insincerity.

He’s far too modest.

Lots of people that are not from New York don’t appreciate him either.

Take me for instance. I don’t appreciate him probably more than most New Yorkers don’t appreciate him.

In fact, I’d appreciate it if he wasn’t available for appreciation at all.

Someone essentially saying we should appreciate him reminds me of a Thatcher quote.

Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

So, the question is - How does De Blasio ‘expect’ New Yorkers show their appreciation?

Styrofoam Greek Columns? Fainting females? Hand signs showing (D or B, don’t know which one is correct)?

What?

Gee, I wonder if ones like Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, Ceaușescu, Jaruzelski, and Honecker felt unappreciated when the Soviet Union and Communist East Bloc were going bankrupt and collapsing by the mid to late 1980s.

Exactly.
Yet it appears we are supposed to laud him for something.
Yay, he tied his own shoes today.
Gold star..

NY voters should have thought twice before picking a Marxist Mayor.

“Mayor Bill de Blasio said New Yorkers don’t appreciate his “very special” accomplishments since he took office in January 2014”

That’s the thing about stupid people. They vote for other
stupid people. Take McCain for example. He was elected by
stupid people. Now John Cornyn, on the other hand, won by
taking advantage of the Obamas use of the IRS to suppress
the vote of his opponents. Smart guy but still a lying RINO.

Still waiting for then to think at all. Just once.

That’s not completely true. The 17% that voted for him do; the 83% that didn’t think he’s an A$$h0le.

De Blasio is a bigger Diva than Michelle Obama. The problem being that he’s an elected official with Mayoral powers. Some folks like being controlled, bossed around by an arrogant ruling class. I’ve always heard that about the Russian people. Some Americans too, apparently.
