I think now we're so used to politicians doing photo ops that a large percentage of people now think that simply making a random, pointless appearance in trouble zones is part of the politician's job. So people expect Bloomberg to go to the transit system to showcase his expert skills at pumping water out of subway tracks and Dubya to go to Minneapolis to help the teams out there with his impressive knowledge of mechanical engineering.
Politicians are known to solve disasters by furrowing their brows at them. That's why we elect them.
As the absolute king of the meaningless photo ops, Dubya can hardly complain if people now have those expectations.
In all seriousness, Herbert Hoover would have probably done just that. He would have done a good job of it too.
Must... not... make... pedantic... grammar... point...
"But rest assured,I will have plenty more opportunities to ignore mass transit snafus," Bloomberg continued.
Mariano Rivera was going to get a key to the city for his 400th Save, until Bloomberg explained to his aides that Saves are one of the most poorly used statistics in trying to determine the value of a player, lead to managers using their best relievers in sub-optimal situations, and recommended that they all read Tangotiger's research on Leverage Index.
His frowning and looking at the problem was truly inspiring.
"I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. I was there working with them. I was there guiding things. I was there bringing people there. But I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them."
Don't we have this conversation every three months?
Must... not... make... pedantic... grammar... point...
Fine, I'll make it.
Sir, your sentence should read: "why the city does Glavine get a key to the hell for winning 300?"
Actually, that'd be a usage point, not a grammar point. "This begs the question" may be used wrong, but it is perfect grammar.
Quoted for emphasis.
Could be the first and last Atlanta Brave, to get a key to New York City?
