Mayor Bloomberg Wishes The Press Would Let Obama Golf In Peace

In a chapel on Rikers Island today, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the press shouldn’t be irked about being barred from photographing a round of golf between President Barack Obama and Tiger Woods.

“I don’t know why the president has to have people watch what he does,” said Mr. Bloomberg, responding to a question from CBS’s Rich Lamb during a press conference introducing an anti-recidivism program. “He has a right to a vacation. You take a vacation occasionally, you don’t work 24/7. He does. He works very hard and he certainly has a right to his private life.”

And we have a right to a private life, too. We have a right to choose what size soda to drink, or whether to salt our food...

I have my own wishes for Mayor Bloomberg, but unlike going to the press to make points like he does, I’ll keep my wishes to myself.

I am sure that the current dictatorship like Obama and Bloomberg frowns on us common folks taking some vacation time ourselves.

A right to a vacation 4 times a year for his wife that cost multi- millions at a time a 100 + mini-vacations for the President a year?! Bloomberg, I don’t know if that pile of money in your safe (bet you’re glad you made all that cash befer 0 got elected) is clouding your judgment or it’s lack of caffeine but you’re an out-of-touch idiot that doesn’t understand why it’s wrong for the President and the First Lady to take that many vacations a year when the American people are getting their wages slashed, their jobs cut, and paying more taxes than they ever have in the entire history of the United States! If I were in New York I’d be looking for a 7-11 that would sell me a 32 oz. Icee and an AR-15 down the street from your office...

Listening to Mark Levin the other night read through Obamas daily schedule, it is a real stretch to call his day a “ work day”

Also, his vacation entitlement dwarfs any plan for comparable service in most companies or organizations that grant paid vacation.

In addition, the cost of those vacations aren’t picked up by the employer ( us) to
include travel, etc, etc.....

Is there any subject upon which Bloomberg doesn’t vomit his opinion? He truly is an egomaniac.

How interesting.

Each and every day I also wish that Blumedork would “rest in peace”.

People did not pay attention when Congress and Nobama passed a healthcare law that excludes them, why would they pay attention to this?

You know what? I actually think that’s a grand idea. Let the socialist gun-grabbing jack-booted thug golf away the next four years, 365 days a year and never make another political appearance or sign another executive order. We’d all be a lot better off.

Bloomturd is a sick, sick piece of _______ who has destroyed the NYC public school system, ruined thousands of City employees’ lives, attempted to impose a “My way or the highway” mentality on the entire City, and who should just go quietly to Hell. I’m sure there’s a gold-plated nameplate waiting for him there.
