A slight of one candidate could be a way to indirectly endorse another. Telling someone to 'use their head' sound condescending. So I stand by what I said - mention he blocked traffic, mention where / when he did it and let residents / voters draw their own conclusions. <br /><br />I am neither a Fenty or Gray supporter right now in case you are curious.JoeEsq74noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176331749191133365.post-68837773215741363172010-05-18T14:38:37.909-04:002010-05-18T14:38:37.909-04:00I disagree with first comment...this doesn't s...I disagree with first comment...this doesn't sound preachy at all. I also drove through Brookland that morning and those were the facts. I think it was ridiculous to be blocking up rush hour traffic and then, literally, he was standing next to the hearse and casket. It was dis-tasteful to say the least. And, this is a blog!

While it is nice to see him making the effort to meet with the people of this area, better planning might have been wise. Several people witnessed him knocking on car windows that were sitting next to a hearse unloading a coffin. Regardless of timing it was in poor taste, and showed a lack of judgement...pure and simple.Totten Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255640760655278680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176331749191133365.post-1124191813117227242010-05-18T12:29:00.896-04:002010-05-18T12:29:00.896-04:00He may have made a timing mistake but I think he i...He may have made a timing mistake but I think he is trying to reach out to Brookland / NE which is a good thing.
