President Obama and Mayor Gray during a December 2010 lunch.
Not only will he be enjoying a cordial breakfast with members of the D.C. Council — well, unless two councilmembers let the swear words fly again — but Mayor Vince Gray will be hamming it up with both New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama today.
At 10:30 a.m., Gray will meet with Bloomberg to discuss education issues. Awkwardly enough, the last time Bloomberg was in town was when he endorsed Mayor Adrian Fenty last August. At 1 p.m., Gray will head up to Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, where President Obama will be delivering his annual back-to-school speech to the nation’s students.
