Bloomberg endorses Obama (Updated) - POLITICO.com

Quote:
I believe Mitt Romney is a good and decent man, and he would bring valuable business experience to the Oval Office...In the past he has also taken sensible positions on immigration, illegal guns, abortion rights and health care. But he has reversed course on all of them, and is even running against the health-care model he signed into law in Massachusetts.
Oops. If it were any other mayor of NYC, any observer would say "so what, he's preaching to the choir". But with Bloomberg's business standing, this hurts outside the coffee bars of Manhattan.

What do you expect from the mayor of NYC? Bloomberg is an idiot! Always has been.

Yeah, sounds like a ringing endorsement for Obama.

Quote:
In 2008, Obama ran as a pragmatic problem-solver and consensus-builder. But as president, he devoted little time and effort to developing and sustaining a coalition of centrists, which doomed hope for any real progress on illegal guns, immigration, tax reform, job creation and deficit reduction. And rather than uniting the country around a message of shared sacrifice, he engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it.

Yep, he's a job creator. Even more of a job creator than Mitt "Vulture Capitalist" Romney. So if Bloomberg says Obama is good for America, then it is so.

I'm sure this news will also help with some on-the-fence voters down in South Florida, too!

Bloomberg sees the writing on the wall. Just like the Super Delegates in the 2008 Democratic Primary, he's shifting over to the side of the winner.

Well he is the mayor of a city that will overwhelmingly vote for Obama. And his city needs federal dollars to clean up after a superstorm.

He is saying the same thing that every Obama supporter.

I guess the republicans are saying he voting for him because he's Black.
