Apparently New York's Mayor Bloomberg was on the short list to be named Secretary Treasurer back in 2008, and now the White House is revisiting the idea.
From the NYPost:
"It's been the focus of a lot of discussion," said one Democrat. "He's very well-liked and well-respected on Wall Street."
At least the second half is probably true.
The roots of this rumor are in Martha's Vineyard.
Asked about last weekend's four-hour golf game with President Obama on Martha's Vineyard, Bloomberg told reporters yesterday, "The economy was the main subject, other than discussing golf."

I always knew that somehow he had been bought off and that is why he was SO in favor of this mosque. Just follow the money people, just follow the money

ObaMao will try to say that he is a bipartisan president because he is tapping a faux Republican (now an Independent) for his cabinet. That won’t fly, because Bloomberg is almost as far to the left as ObaMao himself.

It’s more like, he’s protecting his investments in Dubai and that the reason he’s backing the Mosque. People in New York need to realize his Muslim support is for his own profit, not theirs.

"Yeah. A sinking ship.... Ah, you know the rest."I hope Obama takes Bloomberg on as staff. Bloomberg is as popular as a dose of the clap at present.

Gov Paterson isn’t one of them which makes him okay in my book.
