NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mayor Bill de Blasio said New Yorkers don't appreciate his "very special" accomplishments since he took office in January 2014, and criticized the actions of his predecessors and even President Barack Obama, according to a Rolling Stone interview.

De Blasio, who has fulfilled a campaign promise to establish universal pre-Kindergarten education and is pressing forward with other reform programs, was quoted as saying out-of-towners see his administration' more clearly than his own constituents.

"A lot of people outside New York City understand what happened in the first year of New York City better than people in New York City," de Blasio said in the interview, published online on Wednesday. "But I'm convinced something very special happened here."

When asked to comment on the interview, de Blasio's spokesperson Peter Kadushin said on Thursday that New Yorkers care about issues such as universal pre-K, declining crime, bringing the police and community closer together and combating income inequality.

1. De Blasio is going to be career handicapped.

2. What a bull$hit headline

De Blasio is talking about his NYC critics, like Giuliani and that buffoon of a police union head. He's not talking about NYC residents in general.

4. Context.

Remember, he has joined with the "dastardly" Dem Populists. What can we expect from corporate if not ridicule upon "feeling threatened"? And if they must...they will write story's out of context to make the point they want us to believe.

I do not find this article a source of credible evidence that DeBlasio is indeed "feeling sorry" for himself...not after what he went through in his campaign and not in the course, so far, of his term.
