He is the WORST mayor DC has ever had. This is what happens when you don’t vote based on competency!

Rosenstin might as well to open a blog to spin whatever he wants to spin, but it’s so wrong to abuse the community beloved the Blade’s reputation like that for personal gain, if any.

All of the development projects described in Rosenstein’s piece were in the works long before Gray took over as mayor. As noted in the article, business leaders largely ignore Gray, and the city is continuing to grow in spite of him. Giving him credit for passing a responsible budget is laughable since that is a function of the City Council. The Blade is losing credibility with its readers by continuing to give Rosenstein a platform for his one-sided political views.

Seems that back on October 13 he wrote a similar article about its “successes and struggles.” The article was met with unanimous condemnation by the 5 folks who commented. Among them, were these:

Ward 3 October 13, 2011 at 11:21 pm: When a criminal steals and donates the money, I’m guessing he’s Robbin hood. This article is a joke on many levels. Level one…. it implies that Gray’s criminal behavior should be overlooked because he’s ribbon cutting.Level two, this story implies a vast conspiracy of all reporters and editors of several major newspapers….if they were lying or slandering Gray and his cronies, I’m sure a libel law suit would have went out long ago. Finally, level three implies gay and Lesbians should side with Gray because he received the Stein and Blade endorsement…what an insult. There is an old street saying that goes,”don’t start none, won’t be none”. If Gray didn’t want the bed he shouldn’t have made it.Pure and simple.

Frankie James October 18, 2011 at 2:48 pm: Bravo Ward! I couldn’t have said it better. Especially the non-sense of the Stein & Blade endorsements. Like Gay people can’t think of something. Just plain BS. As for … “For the first time in years there is a focus on job creation and training; on meeting the needs of the LGBT community, including job training for the transgender community; and enhancing the fight against hate crimes.” What? Clearly Peter is either paid within the Grey Area or simply isn’t paying attention.

Gene Keiths October 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm: Rosenstein has blinders on. Why won’t he just admit that he backed the wrong horse for some of the silliest reasons. I do not understand why the Blade continues to carry his articles. You really need some new blood that accurately reflect the views of the gay community. Not someone who is just trying to CYA for Gray being a horrible mayor.

And, this which wraps up that Peter’s completely out of touch. Miss Demeanor October 18, 2011 at 10:49 pm: Will someone at the Blade please pull the plug on this queen? Rosenstein’s op-ed pieces are really embarrassing to read. He falls over himself to defend Gray even though his administration is leading the city back to the corruption and incompetence of the Barry years. Hate to say we told you so, Peter, but Fenty was clearly the better choice.

I agree with Miss Demeanor – someone really should pull Peter’s plug at the Blade. Faulty facts and analyses with a side of complete lunacy. The gong has sounded on Peter.
