NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg Endorses Obama… Because of Climate Change

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg Endorses Barack Obama Citing Climate Change

NEW YORK, NY – OCTOBER 24: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks with the media at a press conference announcing the New York Islanders’ move to Brooklyn in 2015 at the Barclays Center on October 24, 2012 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. (Credit: Getty Images)

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election, citing his leadership on climate change.

Bloomberg says in an online opinion piece that Hurricane Sandy made the stakes of Tuesday’s presidential election even clearer. He says the climate is changing and that Obama has taken major steps in the right direction.

An independent and former Republican, Bloomberg says GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has reversed course on a number of positions.

  Does RINO Bloomberg NOT EVEN CARE that Obama is a bald faced liar? Does he not care that 4 Americans died in Libya and Obama is covering it up like no scandal EVER? Bloomberg has never bee a republican. I know he’s an independent now, but how this guy could have ever claimed to be a republican is beyond comprehension. Obama is a liar and Bloomberg doesn’t even care:

  Clearly, both Christi and Bloomberg have had to “play the game”, in order to obtain assistance for their citizens. Remember, this is Chicago politics!

  Bloomberg is an authoritarian and endorsed Obama because he is an authoritarian as well. They both love telling people how to live their lives. Read http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/ for fresh political commentary.

  I know Bloomberg is a “nanny-state” Rino, but initially he refused Obama’s request for a photo-op, (probably) because it would be more of a hinderance.However, in Obama-land, ya have to give something to get assistance – everything has a price. “Never waste a good crisis.”

Bloomberg has always been a flaming Leftist. This really isn’t news. He tried to prevent prayer at the 9/11 memorial, outlawed what he perceive’s as unhealthy (sugary drinks over 16 oz), he’s a dhimmi interfaither, etc.

Then again, Romney’s not what I would consider a Conservative. We should’ve made the Republican Party pick Santorum. Hopefully, Barry loses and the Republicans still have another Conservative (pray it be Allen West) against Romney in 2016.

  that’s it jason associate the endorsement to the issue you know the group here is irrational about. No doubt Bloomberg, an billionaire and therefor a more intelligent and astute businessman than Romney, approves of many other policies the PRESIDENT is pursuing.

Comrade Bloomberg chooses to endorse the Winner of the Presidential race. Has Chris Christie endorsed our Leader yet? A lot of former “Republicans” are voting early and voting often for our Leader. Was it a “Republican” named Reagan who granted “Amnesty” to millions of illegal aliens and put nearly all the African-American Comrades permanently out of work? Did the Traitor Reagan actually believe the illegal aliens he failed to remove would vote “Republican” even once? Comrades, vote with your best judgment – Vote the straight Democratic ticket!!! Down with “Republican” tyranny and treachery!!! Down with George H.W. Bush and his New World Order!!! Down with George W. Bush and his New World Order!!! Down with the “Republican Party” which turned our sovereignty over to the Rothschild bankers!!! OBAMA 2012!!! VAN JONES 2016!!!

  When I first read your comment my eyes tricked me (for the better) a little.
  
  You said: “So if an idiot Democratic Mayor says he supports Obama for President in a forest….does it make a sound?”
  
  For some reason when I first scanned your comment I saw, “… does it make a stupid?”
  
  Apropos.

  Climate change does exist, just not for the reasons and causes these demo-retards push. The only thing in the universe that is constant is change. Of course the climate changes, just like everything else. Adapt and overcome or perish, that is the law of nature.

I’ll bet Bloomberg wishes he had a few truckloads of solar panels, or windmills to help New York right now. I’m sure gasoline and coal to create electricity have no use to him.

Mayor McCheese strikes again…
I told you guys many times that Bloomberg has been sucking up to Obama for an ambassador appointment during a 2nd Obama term. Preferably in Bahrain where he could mind his business concerns there.
Under a Romney administration Bloomberg, with all his billions, wouldn’t even get a country club application acceptance from Romney
Self hate sucks.
So does NYC under Bloomberg!
