How Badly Does Mayor Bloomberg Want Hogzilla II To Pass?

by JASmius

This badly:

Maybe it's just me, but aren't big city mayors supposed to discourage rioting amongst the townsfolk? What could Bloomers be thinking? Is it simply that he's as big a hard-left ideologue/blind guide zealot as Red Barry?

Well, yeah, but as Larry Kudlow points out, there's most definitely something in it for him:

For Bloomberg to come out with this statement is irresponsible and incendiary. But you know what? He's got a personal agenda. This is a desperate talking point to sell Obama's jobs plan, which Bloomberg favors as a solution to high unemployment and zero growth...

Some political insiders I spoke to believe Bloomberg desperately wants Obama to win a second term. They say the New York City mayor wants to be Obama's new treasury secretary. Therefore, Bloomberg is hammering Republicans today and absolving Obama from taking any blame or ownership of the current economic mess, which has placed the nation on the front end of yet another recession.

Gad, he's SUCH a genius, huh? That thought makes ME want to riot, actually, and at the moment I'm all by myself.

I didn't think there was any way to gin up any appreciation in my soul for Turbo Tax Timmy Geithner, but it looks like Bloomy found one.
