Bloomberg to Obama: Stay Out of NYC
Big Government ^ | 10/30/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 10/30/2012 6:44:19 PM PDT by markomalley

President Obama has been a busy bee the last two days, spending a huge swath of time with the press and in front of the cameras. Aside from using the White House website as his personal PR firm – putting out pictures of himself with the folks at FEMA and the Red Cross and in the White House situation room, and giving updates stating that he had “expressed his concern” and been informed “throughout the night” – Obama desperately wanted to visit New York City to let the photographers capture him overseeing the damage. He wanted his hero moment.

And Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City doesn’t have time for that nonsense. He’s actually too busy being the mayor of a city in major crisis to squire Obama around for his election campaign.

Today, Bloomberg rejected Obama’s offer to visit the city. “We’d love to have him, but we’ve got lots of things to do,” said Bloomberg. It was “fine” for Obama to visit New Jersey, Bloomberg said. “People understand the storm and he doesn’t have to … he’s got a lot of things to do.”​​​​​

You sure got that right!

It’s a real shame too. At times we hurt ourselves more than the Dems could.

Part of it is we are too undiscerning when it comes to our players. Just give him time, Romney will prove me right in short order.

I think that addresses it as well as it can be referenced. Good call.

Nice thing about lies is you don’t have to keep track of what you said...

Jersey pays some of the highest taxes in the country and he wants some of that money back so he can rebuild Jersey.

Bush's fault? I mean about raising NJ taxes higher than the other 56 states?

You have to blame Bush. Under him, workers in Jersey earned a lot of money which went to Washington. I didn’t mean higher taxes. That came out wrong.

My bad. As for the other 56 states, I think Deerbornistan probably was closer to the bottom of bunch.

America doesn’t want your kind of grandstanding any more Obama, your song and dance act is dead, it only makes people more pissed off that at one time they thought you were the messiah.

Its time you just disapear, pack up your circus and leave, all you do is retard the rebuilding efforts needed.

We don’t want any losers right now.

Quit stressing folks. This doesn’t change 1 vote.


I’m not worried about this changing votes. I’m concerned that, like a small child, Obama will get under foot and disrupt the work of competent people involved in recovery efforts.

Can’t we put him in the corner with a coloring book and a juice box?

I wonder if Bloomberg endorsing Hussein means he’s coming for a visit.
