Ford pops a Cherry!

Is this really what you hoped for Rob?

When you asked Don Cherry to introduce you, did you ever think he would become the story of the day and not you?...on your Inauguration Day?  Did you think that you'd have to spend the rest of the day explaining his remarks and not your plan?

Well it happened...and Don is the story...and not in a good way. He managed to offend,alienate and divide...He played directly into your critics hands and unfortunately re-enforces an unflattering view of you.
And you can't just say "That's just Don being Don"...cause that implies you knew he has a wild card and still decided to proceed with him. (Makes one wonder if he was saying what you are really thinking...and that you quietly approved of his comments)

Well Rob...what are you going to do? First real test of leadership here...

You can say nothing and hope it goes away...Or you could come out and say that's not the kind of rhetoric that is associated with your administration and its regrettable.

Remember you're the Mayor of the entire city...right and left...users of cars, public transit and yes...bicycles.

So what's is going to be Rob? Hide behind "That's just Don being Don"...or be the Mayor?
