I just lost all respect for Mayor Bloomberg
he's supporting Meg Whitman for governor and he wants those Bush tax cuts another two years because his excuse is the economy is to weak right now to get rid of them

1. Don't let the lucidity on the Islamic Community Center fool you.....
Bloomberg was, is and always will be a clueless rich man who looks out for other clueless rich people.

10. To call Bloomberg clueless
is... kind of funny actually. He is anything but. ANybody who does nto agree 100% with what you think is clueless? He is smart, effective, good on certain things, excellent on others, and rather bad on yet others. And, yes, very rich. None of these make him clueless.

And incidentally his speeches on the mosque issue were outstanding.

5. He is supporting our (D) governor, Martin O'Malley and made an appearance
here in Maryland. O'Malley is running against the conservative Bobby Haircut Erlich.

Bloomberg seems to be all over the map this year.

11. I suspect that the Tax cut position has everything to do with his constituency
who work on Wall Street. There are a hell of a lot of folks in the city who are making $250K or more.

13. Bloomberg is a criminal...
...complicit in the Deutsche Bank deaths and covering it up by railroading hero firefighters. The man is SCUM.

16. Bloomberg has become of trailmix of political hotpoints.
There's the support for Whitman in California, but also the support for Democrat Tom Barrett in Wisconsin.

He's a calico cheese slicer on a blue violin in an accountant's lost journal.

One of the things that makes me uneasy about this guy is that he seems to believe political problems are solved from the top down instead of the grassroots up.
