Bill de Blasio, like his progressive political idol Barack Obama, is finding out that you can’t do the New Politics if you don’t pay attention to the old politics.
In Obama’s case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didn’t buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress. For New York’s ambitious liberal mayor, it was an inability to keep long-simmering tensions with the city’s traditionally powerful police department from boiling over in the last few days.
Just over a year after sailing into office with 72 percent of the vote on a message of transformational change, de Blasio found his mayoralty subsumed by a torrent of anger, unleashed by the murder of two police officers in Brooklyn Saturday by a troubled gunman who said he was killing "pigs"....

I like the way they blame Obama’s lack of ability to work with Congress on Congress.
Sharpton told Reuters de Blasio's request to halt protests was "ill-defined" ...
"Is a vigil a protest? Is it a rally?" Sharpton asked.
Maybe Sharpton's financial supporters know the answer. Read on.

Will a White House delegation be sent to the funeral of these police officers?
There was a point in his first six months while a Senator where John McCain called up and tried to arrange a bi-partisan bill, which the two of them could sponsor. There was a flat-turn-down. As far as I can tell....there’s not a single episode ever....either at the US Senate or in Illinois...that he worked with a single Republican.
de Blasio treats him as though he were the second coming of Martin Luther King, Jr. Likewise Obama...who has had him to the White House 81 times, where he is welcomed as a civil-rights leader.
And when a Sony exec makes some racially insensitive remarks, it’s the Rev. Al she ends up apologizing to.

He worked on that old RINO Lugar on weakening America’s missile defense, I think.
When you run against the cops, you can’t keep on good relations with the cops. That is why you should never ever vote for a Mayor who is running against the cops.
What a slanted piece. They even manage to get the Koch brothers in there.
Right before he rammed through the Stimulus and Obamacare without a single Republican vote.
Post-Partisan
“In Obama’s case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didn’t buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress.”
“Just over a year after sailing into office with 72 percent of the vote (de Blasio)...”
“According to a former de Blasio aide, during the general election campaign in 2013, de Blasio’s team was even convinced that members of his police detail were eavesdropping on his private conversations in his city-assigned car.”
I think he is like Hitler who won a majority of the vote - but was paranoid of his opposition and set forth stringent policies to counter a non-existent element...that ended in ruin for the German people...I wonder if the same is happening here...even though this piece is about trying to make excuses for de Blasio...
Let us hope not. Any such delegation should be refused entry, or ejected once inside. They are vermin, down to the last one of them.
What a load of BS. After the 2008 election, Obama brought in the GOP leaders and reminded them that he won and he was the only thing between the Republicans and the pitchforks. He then shut the GOP out of any debate about Obamacare.
“What are you guys going to do?” he asked, his voice rising, as he accused reporters of amplifying the few bad actors among the protestors. “Are you going to keep dividing us?”
The last 2 paragraphs are rich. The heat is getting to him.
I suggest however pained and jarred he was over the slaughter of two officers, he was seething with anger when he saw NYPD turn their backs on him. IIRC, his presser Sat night was delayed because of what was going on behind the scenes. Oh, to be a fly on the wall. I am interested in how this will play out.
Maybe he can take a page from al's playbook and play his voice mail messages to show the world he is getting messages from meanies. That will make us feel sorry for him.......NOT.
This situation was created by liberals from Obama/Holder to Sharpton and De Blasio.
These were the racists who rushed to judgment before facts were known.
These were the racists who fed and fostered the LIES fabricated around every racial incident.
These were the racists who have a responsibility for the murder of these police officers.
Every mass shooting results in fingers being pointed at the Tea Party, Republicans and firearm owners by this crowd.
Now, they want to say this was the actions of one lone, deranged criminal.
Sorry, you hypocritical, lying racists.....its time to eat your peas.
Looks like the pinkos have a tiger by the tail, they whipped up a nice exploitable crisis and it’s turned on them.
Ambitious? He’s the laziest son of a bitch on the planet. He only got the job because he ran against a noted sex fiend and a alcoholic lesbian.
Check out this comment on the Politico page from “aaa1960”:
If the black community wants the rest of the world to treat them with respect and as the hashtag# going around black lives matter maybe the black community should.
1. Stop making criminals and thugs their poster child
2. Stop trying to tell America that these are innocent boys that are good boys and wouldn’t hurt anyone... as America watches them on video robbing a store and choke holding the store clerk
3. Get rid of The Obama, Holder, Sharpton and Jesse as leaders that claim you are helpless victims. They are not helping you... At all... As a matter of fact they are killing your cause...
4. Find yourself a leader that believes in self esteem, education and your own ability to better yourself.
5. Stop killing each other without impunity and with no regards to respect amongst yourselves. If you cannot respect yourselves how do you expect the rest of the world to.
6. This is the hardest, the black community are part of the problem and until the media and your leaders begin to report and talk about the whole problem and not just the “I’m a victim and it is all white peoples fault” Nothing is going to change...
Ever.
