Rumors Grow That Michael Bloomberg Is Going To Be The Next Treasury Secretary

Larry Kudlow just insisted on a rumor we've heard several times: Michael Bloomberg is going to be treasury secretary. Kudlow says he heard from "deep insiders" that the pick has been made and it's Bloomberg.

His payback for approving, endorsing the Ground Zero mosque.

B.I.N.G.O.

There is this: Bloomberg has more private business experience than everybody else working for nobama taken together.

I didn’t say he’d be a great SOT.

Oh, I hope so. New Yorkers have been subject to this liberal martinet long enough. This tells me the Mosque nonsense is not going well and he needs to leave town.

[TeachableMoment]

Does this mean NYC will be able to eat donuts again?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks CreviceTool. Lucky NYC.

[Tzimisce]

Great.

Wonderful.

[Bigg Red]

Can’t be any worse than the Keebler Elf. Bloomberg has earned the right to be among the swine infesting the WH. I guess this post is his payoff for shilling for the WTC mosque.

The White House heard Bloomberg was going to propose a bedbug tax for NYC and said “That’s the man we need, a man that really never lets a crisis go to waste!” /sarc/

[Norman Bates]

I can think of worse news if this were to come true. This would likely prevent a Bloomberg 3rd party spoiler run in 2012.

Considering that the BATFE is under the Treasury Department, that is something of serious concern.

Bloomberg overseeing operations and priorities of the BATFE is a real nightmare for gun owners.

[GeronL]

Is the BATFE still under Treasury??

Gawd help us all

[PaleoBob]

Somebody warn the deck chairs Bloomberg is coming.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Bring back Rudy Giuliani, please and asap!

[Sun]

“Please. No.”

But think of how much safer NYC will be.

Bloomberg won’t be there to call Islamic terrorists people who were upset with the health care bill.

It’s hard to say which one is worse - Gaithner or Bloomberg.

I can see Bloomberg, in control of all that money, finding a way to funnel some to his beloved muzzies for their little ground zero victory monument.

Bloomberg is a huge tax-and-spend guy. He’s also got big ties to Dubai, which is probably why he’s attractive to the Mooselim-in-Chief. It looks to me like Dubai will be financing zero’s re-election campaigm since Soros isn’t giving directly to candidates or the DNC. He’s been giving to 527s and private organizations (all far-left, of course).

WHY is Bloomberg doing this ?

Bloomberg seems an intelligent, though Marxist man ...

Joining Zero now is a Fool's Errand ...

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Bloomberg ruined NYCity with his liberal commiecrat ideals. The taxes and cost of living are beyond ridiculous and you can't smoke anywhere but maybe still in your home.

So why is it anyone would think he could fix Obama's spending mess? I guess his wealth and name recognition?

New Yorkers Flee Taxes

[Vigilanteman]

Bloomie couldn’t be any worse than the tax dodger Timothy Geitner. Look at the bright side— anyone signing on to the second half of the first term of the Kenyan pretender might just have their careers sink to the bottom with the same leaky vessel.

[wtc911]

Bloomberg has become a badge collector...looking to pad his obituary.

[Vaquero]

He is pretty good fiscally and it will keep this doooooshbag away from the 2nd and our guns.
