More good news: Mayor Nutter thinks we're "getting it."

I just heard Mike on WHYY explaining that he thinks that Philadelphians are starting to understand why there's a budget crisis in Philly: We are beginning to understand now that the global and national economic downturn is having an impact on Philly's economy. My guess is that Nutter would attribute our new found wisdom to his campaign for "civic engagement."
Oh, and btw, he explained that the upcoming serious of public meetings will give us an opportunity to understand what it's like to have to balance a budget.
Can this man be any more condescending?
oh we're getting it all right
it just depends on what you mean by "getting it".
if you mean, "we're getting that the mayor is a bullshit artist", yes some of us are getting it.
If you mean that "the city stands to lose a lot of services, thus getting it forcibly in the rear", that's also a good interpretation.
But if the mayor means "finally everyone gets what it means to be poor me", well, no. I'm not getting that at all.
