De Blasio (And Obama) Skepticism

And that's a GOOD thing.  De Blasio is a creature of the Clinton machine, so he is guaranteed to disappoint, but the scale of said disappointment could be wicked important.  Being the mayor of NYC is a unique job in the United States, with a unique public and profile and a unique level of impact, so de Blasio's tenure will have a powerful national implications.  The comparison to Obama is telling; Obama spectacularly underperformed in office, becoming the worst possible sort of establishment tool and Bush's third term is some (almost) unbelievably tragic ways.  What de Blasio has in store for the country is probably more of the same unfortunately.
