His problem was always sex. He'd go jogging in the morning and ladies would invite him in and he'd be seduced. Then, he'd take a "nooner" ~ old friend of mine was once invited to go do a Barry interview and there he was at his desk, and he didn't get up the whole time ~ and yet my friend could see the bottom of someone's upside down high heel pumps under the front of the modesty panel in the desk.
His frequent afternoon jogs were better known.
He was hardly your ordinary mayor.
Just reading about DCs teenage unemployment situation this summer. http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/dc-news/2012/05/dc-tops-list-teen-unemployment/627471 ~ 51%.
Barry used to take an interest in that problem ~ which could be even higher ~ and he got it down into the single digits many years.
People remember that ~ and compare him to the current regime ~ and he looks pretty good.
As far as "socialism" is concerned, I don't particularly recall Barry having much interest in ideology. And "racist accusations" against his opponents ~ and he had a lot of opponents locally ~ all of them somewhere other than Ward 8, and most of them were black.
So, what do you recall him saying about his "opponents" that wasn't true?
You have to remember he was an educated man with a degree in chemistry ~ hardly an affirmative action field of study.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Seriously ... stop before you get any further behind.
The man has a legacy of corruption and incompetence that beggared belief. Maybe you don't remember the lat 1980s and early 1990s ... I do. Remember "murder capital of the US"??? I do. Remember hiring police officers with felony records? I do. Remember the unending parade of corruption investigations and financial mismanagement during the Barry Regime? I do. And I saw it from Maryland. Prince George County. Not Indiana.
So, what do you recall him saying about his "opponents" that wasn't true?
His standard answer to any opposition was that those who opposed him did so because of him being black.
You have to remember he was an educated man with a degree in chemistry ~ hardly an affirmative action field of study.
And??? That means he wasn't an incompetent, corrupt, socialistic idiot as a Mayor? Nonsense. His horrid record is well known. Quit trying to cover it up.
