Ted, My recollection of Dinkin is that he was not that great a mayor. Obama is a good president. It'll be a while before you realize that Obama isn't that great of a president, either. Dinkins was elected as the first black mayor of NYC, which was seen as a milestone, but he was less than an effective leader. He was supposed to be the "toughest mayor on crime" and made a lot of promises to bridge the gap between the races, but the results were just the opposite. He helped to deepen the racial divide and was seen as soft on crime. It took the efforts of Rudy Giuliani to bring NYC to a renaissance, the effects of which have lasted even beyond his tenure. Obama came into office promising to bridge the gap between GOP and Democrats, bridge the gap between races, rescue the economy, and pull the nation out of endless wars. Most of those promises went unfulfilled, except maybe the economy, and even that is not likely to last. You better hope that the good times will last until Obama leaves office, or else he'll leave with approval ratings less than that of George W. Bush. And that's saying something. Tenchusatsu
