>>>The announcement sparked behind-the-scenes jostling with security officials in Washington, who downplayed the threat and suggested that Mayor Michael Bloomberg may have overreacted.<<<
What a load of bull----. Bloomberg is acting responsibly and proactively. He is no Ray Nagin.
Nagin wouldn't cut it as a hotdog vender in NYC!
While Mayor Bloomberg is not my favorite Mayor, he did the right thing in this instance. And I admire him for riding the subway on his way to work this morning.
Good jom Mayor, better to be vilified by a few than damned by millions.
