1. Whow. Good on deBlasio!

[BeyondGeography]

2. Superb, HOF smackdown

He made that shit stirrer his prop. Highly rec'd.

[Adsos Letter]

3. Direct, and to the point. n/t

4. K & R

5. Great job! He kept his cool....

...and slapped the buffoon right upside the head with an imaginary two-by-four. Just what he needed; and just what the media needs. I seriously doubt you'll see this clip on fox-nonsense, or at least without a bunch of cuts and pastes to make it look like he said something entirely different.

Bood on deBlasio. I'd be PROUD to have him for my mayor!

[Mr.Bill]

6. Excellent.

This is what an intelligent leader does when Chris Christie would have said SHUT UP! SIT DOWN!

[mountain grammy]

9. Exactly. I thought the same thing watching this clip.

[George II]

10. Amazing, like you and the other person above, I was thinking "how would Christie have handled this?"

[zeemike]

11. And we need more leaders speaking like that.

The right uses bulling tactics to get there way and you don't even try to placate them, you stand up to them and don't buy the bullshit.

7. Saw that and applauded

thought he was very good at the whole thing but his education of the reporter was excellent -

[LiberalElite]

17. me too - that's my Mayor!

[Archae]

8. But who was that "reporter?"

A Breitbart or Faux "news" flunkie?

[cheapdate]

14. Of course he was.

[RBInMaine]

12. Awesome ! That is how you do it.

[Overseas]

13. K&R. Well said.

[bvf]

15. Good on him!

Calling bullshit on the media can never be done enough, especially on this topic.

[cal04]

16. You go Mr. Mayor!

These sleazy reporters should be put in their place and he did a great job!

[markpkessinger]

18. I have been very proud of our Mayor's handling of the entire situation . . .

. . . despite what some critics have said. His remarks have been empathetic, yot measured and careful (as indeed a leader's remarks on a situation like this must be). Bravo, Mr. Mayor!

19. K and R

20. Well done Mr. Mayor.
