[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bowser- bashing on this predominately white board feels a bit racist.  I'm not a Bowser supporter but calling her incompetent and calling her supporters Marion Barry lovers is pretty gross.  She isn't even mayor yet.  Be patient and let her actually do her job.

Same with President O.[/quote]

No it's not.  Say whatever you want about Obama and his leadership skills and policies, but he is able to articulate that which he stands for.  Bowser, not so much.  No one is chasing paranoid conspiracy theories about Bowser.  They are simply concerned she is an empty suit, bought and paid for with union and developer money.[/quote]

I think one thing that may gall some people is the phrase "empty suit"  She does not appear to me to be a policy wonk, or a major initiator of legislation.   But she DOES seem to be bright,  capable of working with diverse interests, and perhaps capable of recognizing talent in others.  More an Eisenhower than a Bernard Montomery, IOW.   Its a different role - and we can argue if its the role DC needs - but the phrase "empty suit" comes off badly.

As for devloper money, I certainly hope that she continues to make DC friendly to development - one thing that scares me in DC politics are the folks who want to preserve the city in amber, whether out of fear of demographic change or general  dislike of change.    I would be more concerned if she opposed new development.   [/quote]

But unfortunatelyly Bowser IS an empty suit.  Or as some called her during the election, "substance free."[/quote]
