BLOOMBITO NEEDS ANGER MANAGEMENT


2008

Bloomberg losing his temper (and mind)
For more than six years, Councilman Peter F. Vallone Jr. and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg have enjoyed a warm relationship. So when the councilor spotted the mayor outside City Hall on a recent sunny morning, he greeted him amiably, shook his hand, and turned to go on his way.As Term Wanes, Bloomberg’s Temper Boils Up

There was no indication that the mayor was about to explode.“What’s this I hear about you objecting to that power plant?” Mr. Bloomberg, who usually keeps his business private, barked out.“He kept raising his voice. ‘What’s the matter with you? You know we need the power,’ ” Mr. Vallone, from Queens, recalled the mayor saying. “Then he finally just screamed something about not moving it.”...several current and former officials say the public is just now getting a sustained look at the impatience and occasional anger that Mr. Bloomberg, a self-made billionaire unused to answering to any authority higher than his own, feels toward those who would stand in his way or challenge his motives.

“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it,” Mr. Vallone said of Mr. Bloomberg’s mood.And the national publications have noticed that things aren't as great in this city as our mayor would like us to believe: Bloom off the Rose
