Brooklyn GOP Boss Craig Eaton’s brainstorm of selling the GOP line to outspoken GOP-to-Independent turncoat Michael Bloomberg bites Republicans in the ass — AGAIN ! ! !
According to Michael Bloomberg, who was a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing-Republican, who became an Independent before Eaton’s last sell-out endorsement — “We need leadership from the White House — and over the past four years, President Barack Obama has taken major steps to reduce our carbon consumption, including setting higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks.... His administration also has adopted tighter controls on mercury emissions, which will help to close the dirtiest coal power plants (an effort I have supported through my philanthropy), which are estimated to kill 13,000 Americans a year.... This issue is too important. We need determined leadership at the national level to move the nation and the world forward.... His health-care law — for all its flaws — will provide insurance coverage to people who need it most and save lives.... "
In response to the Bloomberg endorsement, President Barack Hussein Obama in part made the following statements: “...Mayor Bloomberg and I agree on the most important issues of our time — that the key to a strong economy is investing in the skills and education of our people, that immigration reform is essential to an open and dynamic democracy, and that climate change is a threat to our children's future, and we owe it to them to do something about it. Just as importantly, we agree that whether we are Democrats, Republicans, or independents, there is only one way to solve these challenges and move forward as a nation — together.
It is interesting that Bloomberg gave Obama his support even though Bloomberg had to admit that President Obama "devoted little time and effort to developing and sustaining a coalition of centrists, which doomed hope for any real progress on illegal guns, immigration, tax reform, job creation and deficit reduction.... And rather than uniting the country... [Obama] engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it."
Part of the New York Times coverage of Bloomberg’s endorsement of Obama, was this observation: “Last month, the mayor said that he was creating his own “super PAC” to support candidates from either party, as well as independents, who he believes are devoted to his brand of nonideological problem solving, and he has increasingly used his personal wealth and the bully pulpit of his office in an effort to persuade elected officials to support same-sex marriage, gun control and education reform.”
Way to pick ‘em, Craig, way to pick ‘em ! ! !
