Lot of people from nowhere near NYC hating on someone they don't know except where the outrage-monger media they consume ran a segment on something he did.

Bottom line is he played a huge role in revitalizing the city. Places you wouldn't walk at night back in my parents' day (in the city) before Bloomberg and Giuliani are now so nice I couldn't afford the rent. Did the city a world of good.

From what I can tell when a person has that much money the driving force often becomes about power and control. This can be limited to family members, but in Bloomberg's case, well I guess some folks just have bigger appatites.

So you agree that government should tell you what size drink you can buy? You agree that government should be able to stop and frisk people while walking down the street obeying all laws?

He was a solid Republican until 2007. Now he is independent.

I don't care about party affiliation. Means nothing to me.
