Detroit mayor Bing: city workers feel “entitled,” says his job’s difficulty second only to Obama’s

Detroit’s Bing: city workers “entitled,” only president’s job harder. “We are in an environment… of entitlement… a lot of people who are city workers, who for years and years… think they are entitled to a job and all that comes with it.” Hmmm, maybe a certain political party shouldn’t have encouraged this attitude with decades of “Vote for me and get free stuff!” campaigns, eh Mr. Mayor? Obama’s job is harder? We’ll let you know when and if he actually starts doing it.

Bing believes in socialism from all indications. He then should practice what he believes and give over all of those NBA dollars to his city to help out to those who are entitled.

That would make a good example, yet he wont. Its his money, he played and earned it, so it is all his. Hypocrite!!

Sounds like he is doing the second best job in the country right behind the president.

  Jerry Brown might be the guy actually. Most of the problems that CA is going through have their roots with Moonbeam. They then brought him back to finish the job of killing CA once & for all.
