But his whole campaign is that there are two different cities here. And I’ve never liked that kind of division.>>>

Well... ya' coulda' fooled me.

and constant drudgery.

. . . I thought he had a little more class than THAT!

This guy is a real asshole and exactly what's wrong with the putrid elites in business and politics. They need to be swept away. This is the kind of guy that FDR railed against. What's dangerous is that someone like him would even feel comfortable around the Democratic Party.

he showed his true colors during the "Occupy" event in NYC

... of illegal arrests of legit demonstrators.

Many of which I ( not Bloomberg) and other NYC taxpayers have had to pay damages to in court ordered-settlements.

What assets he has managed to accumulate under his name represents a clinical form of hoarding not far removed from the old lady who cannot bring herself to throw away a newspaper. Work your ass off to the grave and while doing so pay homage to your benevolent benefactor Mr. Bloomberg.

I have never been a huge fan of Mayor Bloomberg. But until reading this interview, I had given him credit for having a bit more class than he obviously has. Accusing De Blasio of running a 'racist' campaign merely for running ads that show his mixed-race family is just utterly beneath contempt. And it is particularly rich coming from a man who thinks it is perfectly okay to infringe on the Constitutional rights of certain of the city's residents based on the color of their skin (and one or two other demographic criteria). And the mayor's attempt to suggest it is comparable to him (Bloomberg) playing to the fact that he is Jewish fails entirely. First, I believe it was widely known that Bloomberg was Jewish when he ran for office, and second, he certainly was never expected to conceal that fact.

Frankly, I think the entire interview is in very bad form. An outgoing office-holder publicly commenting on the field of candidates for his replacement is just . . . unseemly. Even George W. Bush -- a man not widely known for his particularly classy way of dealing with people -- had the decency and good sense to refrain from commenting on the 2008 election and the candidates of that election. My estimation of the Mayor as a human being has dropped considerably as a result of reading this article.

right and to always get his way. The same as trump, Rmoney and jack welch.
