Read today that Bloomberg called Bill De Blasio a racist. Apparently, it's now considered racist to use your family in your campaigns. Of course, Bloomberg was always at a disadvantage in that area. Having his "dressage" daughter advertising "my father is a mensch" would hardly attract the majority of New York voters. Shades of Romney. Rather he used money--lots and lots of money, to defeat Thompson in the last mayoral race. A race, I should add, that should never have happened since Bloomberg was all for term limits until it came to his turn.
De Blasio has a black wife, formerly and perhaps now a bi-sexual woman, and their children are mixed race and appear with him on the campaign trail. This is racist to Bloomberg since some African-Americans may vote for De Blasio because of his black wife and multi-race children. And his wife's bi-sexuality may draw away some of Quinn's audience--Bloomberg's favorite. Oh, that De Blasio is so racist! It's so obvious he must have planned his life for this moment.
Instead of apologizing for his racist policies--stop and frisk being the most obvious, Bloomberg blames DeBlasio for disagreeing with him. I have no idea who will win the race or even who will win the Democrat primary, the only thing I do know is that Bloomberg is gone. Finally, at last, Hallelujah!
Sorry to disagree but Guiliani and Bloomberg made NYC a great place to work and live. DeBlasio as mayor, hopefully that will not happen, my prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteYou would have had to live in New York during the reigns of terror to make that comment, and you didn't. I'm not quite as good as the NSA at deciphering IP addresses but pretty good nonetheless. I've lived in New York for 40 years, so more than capable of deciding who was good, and not good, for New York. A mayor that placed his command center in the World Trade Center after it was previously bombed should have been hanged in effigy and not honored, but in the USA we do love loud mouths and Guiliani, with whom I once worked, had one of the loudest. I hope "had" is the operative word.
ReplyDeleteBloomberg is an obnoxious, arrogant, sanctimonious s.o.b. Not only is his stop-and-frisk policy abusive, racist, and flat-out unconstitututional, but while the victims of Hurricane Sandy were still languishing, he was givng out yet more millions in "charity" to Johns Hopkins, an extraordinarily rich institution. I live a few blocks from it and used to work there; I know.
ReplyDeleteFine, Hopkins does some good work; its medical care is exceptional. All well and good. But come on -- it's one of the wealthiest institutions in the world. Bloomberg gets all this credit for giving his money to it, while his own citizens languish.
And his obsession with what people eat! It's pathological. I know that obesity is a problem in this country; I get it. But trying to police what people put in their mouths?? Maybe they should start a stop-and-frisk program for that.
Thank god he's out.
Purchasing a piece of jewelry is an excellent way to show someone that you care, regardless of the occasion. Even a small and inexpensive piece if meaningful. www.crosseyedconsulting.com |
