No one believes Rattner stepped down from his White House job because he wanted to spend more time with his family. Of all the people Purnick quotes expressing their outrage at City Hall to Mike Bloomberg is none other than real estate developer and landlord "Mike Red Square Rosen". I call him this because he brought forth The Red Square development that looks like the prototype for NYU mega dorms and the NY Law dorm on 3rd Street with balconies. Purnick refers to the developer Rosen as a writer - "community organizer" which is laughable. Rosen may have railed against Bloomberg but in fact he is a mini Mike Bloomberg wannabe buying people's good will just like Mike Bloomberg yet Purnick did not do her research or like Mike Rosen's good friends forgot that he is in fact a developer and that shows you insight in to Purnick...like Rosen she may appear to be a critic but she in fact part of the club. She does expose what we all knew about Murdoch and Zuckerman colluding with Mike Bloomberg to sign, seal and deliver his third term win. We will have to wait a good ten years for a real book with far more insights and accurate "true news" on Bloomberg News...the news that for now we are not privy to. Note: Purnick thanks the owner of The New York Times at the end of her book, also a club member. I renamed the paper "The New York eminent domain Times" also a big supporter of a mayor that represents developers not the people of this great city.
