Good point!

Mike is a Dempublican .....To be fair ...The 5% of Democratic Primary Voters who are self- described conservatives should seriously consider voting for him ...Moderates and Progressive have many more preferable candidates to choose from ...

I'm sure he'll do well, running with his "stop and frisk" approach to race relations.

The banning of soft drinks idea will also go over big in the south. None of that Sweet Tea nonsense anymore.

telling a national audience to vote for Bush. False equivalence much?

Bloomberg was a cheerleader for Bush. Sanders was a cheerleader for Chavez. Not much difference in ridiculousness.

in his campaign who not only voted for Jill Stein, but encouraged others to do likewise

One more blessing for this year.

Complaining about a speech he gave as the Mayor to a Convention being held in his City would be pretty low on my list.

But we also know something about George Bush the leader. As we walk through this library, obviously we’re reminded of the incredible strength and resolve that came through that bullhorn as he stood amid the rubble and the ruins of Ground Zero, promising to deliver justice to those who had sought to destroy our way of life.

We remember the compassion that he showed by leading the global fight against HIV/AIDS and malaria, helping to save millions of lives and reminding people in some of the poorest corners of the globe that America cares and that we’re here to help.

We remember his commitment to reaching across the aisle to unlikely allies like Ted Kennedy, because he believed that we had to reform our schools in ways that help every child learn, not just some; that we have to repair a broken immigration system; and that this progress is only possible when we do it together.

-- Barack Obama at the inauguration of the George W Bush Presidential Library. But maybe he was just making a polite speech?

That does not mean I agree with every word that comes from their mouth. I have a problem with ANYONE who praised the war criminal bush. Despite what some seem to imply, and as much as I miss him, President Obama was not perfect.

Not a fan of Bloomberg, but I wouldn’t find this speech disqualifying.

just don't lecture anyone about party loyalty again OK?

Btw, see post 12.

And don’t tell me what to do or not do.

OK?

I had to giggle because I’m the last to lecture about party loyalty.

I’m a yellow dog Dem, but never tell others how to feel about issues.

Bloomberg illegally detained protesters?

Or his support for stop and frisk?

Or raising property on middle class homeowners while cutting taxes for himself and the wealthy?

Now, I need to go vomit. Another creep.

It is the respect for the office and not for an individual.

In this case, W had given a lot of money to NYC to rebuild after 9/11 and that was the act that was praised.

I don't see anything wrong in this.

Obama gave a wonderful eulogy to Bush 41 -- and said good things about him. We don't always have to spit on the opposing party especially when someone from the opposing party does a good thing.

Bloomberg was a registered Republican. All is forgiven when it's all about the Benjamins.

Until you did.

We are better than that! Elijah Cummings!

or has a candidate joined the Democratic race?

Don't bash him. He's a real 'solid guy' - Joe Biden
