Bloomberg Supports Restoration of Term Limit
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 30 October 2010 | John Semmens

Posted on 11/01/2010 4:44:34 PM PDT by John Semmens

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he will support a ballot measure to restore the law banning elected officials from serving more than two consecutive four-year terms. The limit was removed in 2008 in order to allow Bloomberg to run for a third consecutive term in 2009.

Bloomberg said removing the limit was necessary then because “the City had need of the one person with the extraordinary talent to cope with an emerging crisis. Since that extraordinary person will not be running again under any circumstances it’s safe to restore the previous term limitation. When only average people are available for the office, I think it is best that they be limited in the time they are allowed to serve.”

Look up “Rules for Thee but Not for Me” in a familiar quotations book and you’ll see Mike’s picture next to it.

If he wants to, can Rudy Giuliani run again for N.Y.C. Mayor, whether or not term limits is put back?

A lot of people here talk about the so-called "elites."

These are the types of so-called elites we should
be focusing on.

LOL...good one! Reminds one of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” where “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Enough of this jackass, it’s another jackass’s turn- he can take Christine Quinn with him.

Maybe he can be the Charlie Crist of 2012. His Ego is just as out of whack.
