Bloomberg Merits More Support From Blacks [WHY?!!]

When New York voters were polled recently on whether they approved of the way Mayor Michael Bloomberg is doing his job, only 37 percent of them said yes. Among black voters, he fared even worse - a measly 29 percent. This prompted a city official close to the mayor to lament that, while Bloomberg has taken on quite a few issues that black people care about, "he still gets his - kicked."

Jeez Sheryl... maybe blacks don't like to be ticketed for smoking, pay lots more taxes and create gay high schools... how odd!

This comment she makes really sums up her agenda.“Mike Bloomberg is no Bill Clinton, but fortunately he's no Rudy Giuliani either.”

Phewww!

I am not particularly a Bloomberg fan, but that kind of support among Blacks is pretty good for any Republican. And might I add that anyone who votes for or against Bloomberg due to whether or not he lives in Gracie Mansion is, um, an idiot to begin with.

Its pretty sad that in a huge city like New York, the best candidates were Mark Green and Mike Bloomberg.
