"Beautiful response from the mayor"
---You've either got to be kidding, are historically/politically naive, or haven't read the rest of this thread. Do a Google search on CARL OFFICER, and educate yourself. And re-examine the verbiage from him you quoted. He sounds as smarmy as John Kerry.
I guess you haven't read the thread either. If you look carefully my friend, you'll see that I indicated I did not know this person. So get a grip because people like you run off sincere folks interested in politics.
By the way, I'm sure I could teach you a few things about local NC politcs. Cut the smart mouth and simply dialogue without the immature attitude.
