clinton's Harlem neighbors needn't worry, he'll be back. The next time he needs to use them for a photo-op.

[Demosthenes]

Beat me to it. Those silly Harlem Folk, didn't they realize this was all for his image? LOL....

"To his credit, Clinton has helped, mostly behind the scenes. He formed a program where a team of business experts advise local merchants. Another project gives Harlem schoolkids personal financial-management advice."

Advice doesn't cost a lot and there are lots of sources of same.

"The people in Harlem need help - that's what everyone thought his coming to Harlem was all about."

Bwahhhaahhaaa! .....SUCKER!

Did they expect Clinton to wave a magic wand and make everything alright? When he moved in, there were some libs ( people I never agree with on anything ) on the talk show circuit who knew this was going to happen and said so.

A Democrat lied to them. It isn't the first time and sure as anything won't be the last.

Yeah, and due to Clintoon's help...

"I may become the first state senator to lose his seat because I can't afford to live in my own district,"

And...

his landlord, the St. Luke AME Church, sent him a letter stating he and his family had until June 30 to clear out of his apartment at 139-141 West 126th St.,

The article is out of sequence.

[Bommer]

Wait? People are mad because Clinton doesn't seem to care? After welcoming in their new "Black Messiah" only to now figure out he was Judas. I guess minds are a terrible thing when they are wasted....supporting Democraps!

[Physicist]

Grandmothers, single mothers, kids are indiscriminately being tossed out of their homes by landlords who evict, fix and cash in on the Harlem renaissance.

Wait a minute. Whose property is this, anyway? The landlords have no obligation to their tenants beyond honoring the leases they signed. Why shouldn't they be allowed to "cash in"? It's a good thing. Rising property values and improved properties are the sine qua non of any meaningful urban improvement process.

[sneakypete]

amont Yarbrough, 28, agrees. Yet, on April 15 when his landlord, the St. Luke AME Church, sent him a letter stating he and his family had until June 30 to clear out of his apartment at 139-141 West 126th St., he scrambled for help and got only lip service.

"his landlord, the St. Luke AME Church,"

I love the smell of hyprocisy in the morning! Here we have a black religious cult kicking out poor blacks for profit.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Clinton as the "Great Emancipator", freeing the masses from the DemocRAT party.

[Reaganesque]

Clinton has to roll up his sleeves, penetrate the neighborhood...

Oh, he'll "penetrate" the neighborhood alright. Just not in the way the author is suggesting. I hope Harlem has plenty of ice to put on "it" afterwards.

"It's impossible for him to address all these issues as a private citizen," said Paterson.

Another indication they abdicate all responsibility to the Government. BTW. . . How much low cost housing has Jimmy Carter helped with as a private citizen?

[CWRWinger]

"It was all propaganda," said James McNeil, a disillusioned senior...

I seriously doubt if Mr. McNeil knows what he wants. He has probably been following illusions all his life.

Anyone who fools themself into supporting the likes of klintoon has gone thru a long process of moral compromise.

The hidy, hidy, Harlem heave hoe!

Grandmothers, single mothers, kids are indiscriminately being tossed out of their homes by landlords who evict, fix and cash in on the Harlem renaissance.

Had those grandmothers and single mothers been married to the fathers of their children and blessed with a work ethic, there is a good chance that they would be the homeowners standing to profit from the "gentrification". Come to think of it, they'd be part of the gentry!

All those years of handouts are coming to roost.

It is the same in my area with low income folks (race aside) being forced out due to rising prices and rents; but it is largely due to their own bad decisions.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Blaming Clinton for gentification is a heck of a streeeetch there. Why does the church escape blame from this guy when it is the one kicking him out? LoL.

Besides they don't want to hear the real answer to NY's housing problems- get rid of rent control. Start gradually phasing it out when people die- their apartments aren't controlled or when peope move out.

[spectre]

He's done most of the same to Little Rock. He'll be back for photo-ops too.

1) He does NOTHING behind the scenes, unless it involves something he shouldn't be doing (like interns). If he were doing something positive, he'd be hyping it all over the place, just to take attention off his myriad failures. It's all for the legacy, baby.

2) Just what business and financial management expertise could he possibly impart to these people? To urge them to get on and stay on the public dole, as he did for more than two decades? He has never held an actual job, and has had all of his living expenses provided for him and his hideous family since the late '70s.
