Yay generalizations!  |
Well, to be fair about it, Bing is picking up after Kwame Kilpatrick and, indirectly, pretty much every other Detroit mayor since the 1970s except Dennis Archer. Booker is doing a splendid job in Newark, but the hole that was dug there by his predecessors was impressive. Of course, there are others across the country who do their jobs well, quietly, and anonymously (i.e. the AmEx CEO). It just seems like the more high-profile situations have not had good results, especially when politics is involved.
