Wall Street's Mayor

Last week, while taking a cab up First Avenue, I got to hear part of Mayor Bloomberg’s weekly radio address. It was the most sane, soothing thing I had heard all week. The mayor focused on cooling tempers around the financial crisis, rather then inflaming them.

There is no question that the mayor’s straight talking strategy is a success. Many people hardly remember when Hizzoner was being beaten up by the Tabloids practically every day and communications genius William Cunningham came on board and helped turn the tide by running the fight on issues, rather than partisan politics.

If you need a respite from the hysteria, give the broadcast a listen.
