CBS Features NY Mayor Bloomberg Speculating Bomber Was Mad About ObamaCare By Brent Baker Created 05/03/2010 - 19:37 With Katie Couric drawing him out, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed the Times Square car bombing was likely “homegrown” as he proceeded, in an interview excerpt run on Monday's CBS Evening News, to speculate it could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”
Could be “anything,” but the first thing Bloomberg thinks of are those who don't like ObamaCare, presumably conservatives or Tea Party activists.

From part of Couric's interview with the mayor aired on the Monday, May 3 CBS Evening News:
KATIE COURIC: Law enforcement officials don't know who left the Nissan Pathfinder behind, but, at this point, the mayor believes the suspect acted alone.
MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: If I had to guess -- 25 cents -- this would be exactly that, somebody-
COURIC: A home-grown?
BLOOMBERG: Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.
I knew soon as MSNBC and Huffpo claimed it was a ‘white guy’, it wasn’t.
‘the Connecticut owner of the vehicle told them he had sold the Nissan SUV last month in an unrecorded sale to an “Arabic or Latino looking man” in his 20’s or 30’s, for a few hundred dollars in cash.’

"The time is very near when our fedayeen will attack the American states in their major cities," Hakeemullah said. "And Inshallah (god willing) we will give extremely painful blows to the fanatic America."

Maybe it is someone who thinks Bloomberg is a worthless piece of crap, millions of people fit that profile!
Bloomberg is such a lying POS.
The left continues to fret over possible, hypothetical Tea Party violence even as they whitewash or completely ignore ACTUAL violence from the left. Disgusting.
Bloombert: New York’s answer to California’s Arnold S.
Thanks mam.
Bloomberg is the classic New Yorker. Sort of like the character Frank on MASH, when captured by the North Koreans and thus a POW, he was so pathetically slobbering stupid the captors couldn’t stand it any longer and they dumped him out on the road. Unfortunately, real life is not like this: Bloomberg will be mayor of NY forever.
RINO douchebag says what?
You’re welcome.
And that is why we have the term “Blooming-Idiot.”
Well, you do know how ticked off those Pakistanis are about the health care bill.
[how did that moron become Mayor]
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Every uncouth politican (fascist) loves terrorism because it is a goldmine for political enemy sic ‘em slogans. This man is a disgrace to America. Why is he still in power? Why is no one in this fascist’s blood stream; poisoning him and slamming him? He wants NYer’s dead for his political gain!
If there’s a provision for it to be done, Bloomberg should be removed from office. JMHO.
