"America's First Black President," Bill Clinton, has spent almost no time at his Harlem office since opening it to much fanfare over the summer.

So says Guardian Angel founder and WABC Radio host Curtis Sliwa, who told his audience Tuesday morning that a well-placed source says Clinton has made himself scarce at his new address.

"My usually reliable source up there on 125th Street tells me that he's only been there twice since he moved into the office in July," Sliwa announced.

Clinton still travels with a limousine entourage, which makes it readily apparent whenever and wherever he shows up, Sliwa's source said.

News of Clinton's Harlem vanishing act follows last week's report that he has refused to intervene in plans by the Clinton Presidential Library Foundation to bulldoze an historic train depot built by slaves that stands on the site.

Local preservationists say the landmark structure is one of the first built by blacks in the state of Arkansas.
