you, said the obamination is black, that is racist. you said another is a racist because they have no respect for the obomination. The President fixed theThe Wollman Rink. The President 100% called the OH MY GOD global warming panic because of a 1 part in 10000 increase in CO2 a hoax, a fraud, a scheme to take over the life blood of any economy with a very commie like 5 year plans of the elite. I call it science PORN, Pernicious Obnoxious Ridiculous Nonsense. In science and tech you are too stupid to know. I doubt the obamination could fix a hamburger. That to me is not what a good person says about others. you used color so that is what you mind reveals as your differentiator or others. I differentiate people by what they say and how that reveals how stupid and or hateful they are. I am a scientist, engineer and doer. you are a anonymous bla bla bla. And I would also say you are an asshole. Donald Trump And The Wollman Rinking of American Politics Off White Papers Contributor By Irwin Kula and Craig Hatkoff We best understand the world through compelling narratives. Here’s one that helps us process the phenomenon known as Trump for President: “Once upon a time there was an ice skating rink in Central Park that could no longer make ice. No one could figure out how to fix the skating rink. Years went by and millions of dollars were spent and still no ice. One day a white knight wearing a bright red tie showed up and said: ' Let there be ice!’ Four months later there was ice. When asked by the press why the people had been unable to fix the rink themselves the knight said 'they’re very nice people and I like them very much but they're all idiots!' And everyone lived happily ever after.” Pretty much the true story of the Wollman Skating Rink fiasco. You can even check the New York Times. On May 31, 1986 Donald Trump said in an interview with the Times, "I don't want my name attached to losers. So far the Wollman Rink has been one of the great losers. I'll make it a winner.'' Shortly after Trump decided to slap his name on Wollman Rink, if you read the fine print. Now, 30 years later, Wollman Rink is a winner and the Trump name is still associated with it. Just check the Wollman Skating Rink website. There it is! The famous, or, according to some, infamous TRUMP red logo. The Wollman Rink incident underrscores the fascinating impact that Donald Trump is making on the political landscape and the American psyche irrespective of the outcome of the presidential campaign. Wollman Skating Rink today is one of the most iconic amenities for New Yorkers and tourists located in Central Park just a stone’s throw north of the Plaza Hotel (which was once owned by Donald Trump). The bright red Trump logo still adorns the Wollman Skating Rink website. Having fallen into utter disrepair during the New York City fiscal crisis, unable to make ice, the city’s Parks Department embarked on a total refurbishment of the facility in 1980, estimating it would take two years to complete. After six years and having flushed $13 million down the drain, the city announced they would have to start all over again and it would another two years to complete. Wollman Rink had quite visibly failed. The Wollman Rink fiasco amplified the public perception of the general incompetence of government and their inability to complete even the simplest projects.
