Antonio Ramon Villaraigosa formally took the oath of office Friday as the city's 41st mayor, promising to bring a new era of prosperity and unity to a city troubled by gang crime, garroted traffic and failing schools.
Let's dare to dream," he told a cheering, festive crowd of thousands that included former Vice President Al Gore, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver.
"I have no illusions that there is a quick fix or a single path," he said of city schools after announcing a new task force would advise him on education.
He promised new initiatives to improve the environment, unspool gridlock and fight crime. He made only passing reference to the huge costs involved.

Yep!
Right, or Alabama where they put the Ten Commandments monument on a cart and wheeled it out of the rotunda of the state judicial building, and into the basement.
You could spell it out in twenty foot tall letters in Time Square and folks would still scurry around it oblivious.
Beats anything I've ever seen.
Not to worry. The great V. will apply to Mexico for loans, grants, outright handouts. The quid pro quo is that he'll do/say/jump through whatever hoops Mexico holds in the air. He'll probably announce LA and the rest of the state are now a new Mexican state.
This map is truly scary.
Why do you think the San Fernanco Valley wanted to secede? They got tired of subsidizing the rest of LA.
Maybe if most of the "giving" part of LA secedes, what's left will wake up and realize that they need to cut back on the giveaways, because there is nobody left to pay for it.
Don't they already own Dearborn MI?
I know! When their kids can't get a job because they're not Spanish speakers, reality will hit.
The battle lines of CW2.
Perhaps, but I'm not convinced. We mustn't be racists you know...
You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until the 2010, 2020 and 2030 versions are out.
By 2035 this whole nation will be dark red.
They're not dreaming, they have it all worked out. Through the treachery of the Catholic Church and George Bush, we (American citizens) are in the Mexican bulls eye for destruction of our nation, our economy, and our power of the vote. We are witnessing the death of the middle class, as we are forced to share American wealth with Mexico, as well as being fleeced by the Mexicans crossing the border every day and are being sent to every city in America to steal us blind.
July 4th is a sad holiday for me. I see a past where American politicians stood up for America and protected her. I see American soldiers who died in many wars to keep us free. Who gives a damn now? About 35 people on Free Republic even have the nerve to comment on illegals for fear the big shots won't like them. I wish to God that Al Gore had won the election. At least the Republicans would have been yelling their heads off at what is being done it us. But because a Republican is destroying America and implementing the traitorous North American Union, dead silence.

u 2 can flunk your bar exam 4 times 2.
I don't have a crystal ball, but I can imagine several outcomes, and all involve a CW.

Kee-rect, D1.
When the day comes for this country's version of Kosovo it is gonna be real interesting to see which side the politicians side with . Those American citizens that are the bed rock of society or the illegals,TROP followers, those who despise this country & want to see it dragged in the gutter. I already have my ideas about the political class & they ain't pretty.
What treachery by The Catholic Church ? You think all those Mexicans & OTM's are all getting orders from the Pope in Rome?
