Just got back from the inauguration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, and Comptroller John Liu. The ceremony lasted an hour with celebrations afterward that were rather modest, reflecting the rough economic times (Bloomberg didn't even hold an afterparty; instead, he opted to volunteer at five locations across the boroughs throughout the day). Even the ceremony itself was unusually mute. Instead of having celebrities as masters of ceremonies, six students from the Newcomers High School in Long Island City (recently ranked sixth best high school in the country by US News & World Report) introduced the honorees. All attendees of the public ceremony received a mug of warm apple cider, a contrast to the festive New Year's celebrations that occurred just 12 hours prior. Ticket holders were allowed in at 10:30; the seats were separated in gray, blue, and white sections (each level providing better viewing angles than the one before). The City Council, including the 12 incoming members and 12 outgoing members, were present as well as the mayor's commissioners, district attorneys, borough presidents, and former mayors Ed Koch and David Dinkens. The weather was not as cold as in past years (a good 40 degrees). The ground was still wet from last night's rain; skies were gray, but it didn't seem to dampen the energy of the three city officials.
Liu, who was sworn in first by Supervising Judge of the New York County Civil Court Jeffrey Oing, praised the city's diversity and promised to "hit the ground running" and use his position to provide opportunities for the underprivileged. De Blasio, who was sworn in by United States Representative Jerrold Nadler (who, by the way, graduated from Stuyvesant in 1965 and was the student president then), made similar promises to protect and fight for the underrepresented, notably the homeless. Bloomberg, sworn in last by New York State Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, had to justify his run for a third term and modestly called it a "special opportunity" to improve the city. He offered plans to improve management by moving deputy commissioners to other departments for three weeks and having them work with different commissioners. Let's see how these three different men will perform together in the next four years.
Also, here's a New York Times article with Bloomberg's actual speech. At least, what he really meant to say when he told New Yorkers that "the building [City Hall] behind [him] is yours." Yeah right, Bloomy. Nice try.

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre saying. I get where youre coming from.
