They must think we are the dumbest folks to walk the planet. Yesterday or so I read that Bloomberg was reported to have said Obama wasn't “interested” in business. Now, coincidentally, Bloomberg is floated for the Tres sec. Now everybody is supposed to go “gee I guess Obama is listening to the concerns of business”, by including a “critic” - Bloomberg- in his circle.

Obama is pulling a Clinton, who saved his presidency by picking Robert Rubin off Wall Street and calming the angry tribes.....or else Kudlow is just making news and a suggestion.....

Wall Street recently compared Obama’s criticism of it to “Hitler invading Poland”.....and he needs support of Wall Street and the New York Times to survive and prosper....

Bloomberg would be great for Obama and Obama would be great for Bloomberg—who wants to see the country stay liberal and wants to save Obama from the angry Christian Right hordes outside the NYC metro area.....

So who will be the Mayor?

Donald Trump, David Letterman or Derek Jeter.

Bloomberg is a perfect choice. A hate-America far left wealthy A-hole who is for everything most of us are against. Lets hope he arrives in Obambiville in plenty of time to go down with the ship. Rhambo has managed to escape but I’m hoping this fool won’t.

Oh great. He’ll refuse to mail us our tax refunds until we send him proof that we tossed the salt shakers and cigarette ashtrays out of our homes.

One good side to it: He’ll be getting the he// out of New York before all the streets are turned to bike lanes lined with boarded-up businesses.

Reminds me of when the NYPD forbid hizzoner from piloting their Bell 412 helicopters (he is a licensed pilot for rotor and fixed wing aircraft) because he wasn’t covered on their insurance policy. Bloomberg said in effect, “I don’t care - their helicopter isn’t as nice as mine anyway.”

Michael Bloomberg is a perfect example of a billionaire elitist snob. He is the enemy of anyone who believes in individual liberty.

Kudlow would make a better Secretary of the Treasury.

I guess Geithner isn't going to get his autograph on the money. When was the last time a Secretary of the Treasury had that happen to him?

Maybe Bloomberg will get Obama to stop smoking ... using trans-fats and salt...
