O is OK by Mike: ‘Doing good job’ (Mayor Bloomberg touts Mr. Obama's record)
The New York Post ^ | June 25, 2012 | Gerry Shields

Although he was recently overheard saying Mitt Romney would do a better job of running the country, Mayor Bloomberg gave President Obama good marks yesterday for his job in office.

“It’s easy to say that the president should be doing more, but he’s got a lot of things to balance,” Bloomberg said on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS.” “On balance, I think he’s doing a good job.”

Pointing to a polarized Congress and troubles around the world, Bloomberg said Obama has gotten a bad rap.

“I happen to think that Obama’s been a much better president than people give him credit for,” Bloomberg said. “He’s in a very difficult situation.”

“I agree with the president on a lot of the social issues,” Bloomberg added. “I’d like to see him do more, but you’d always like to see him do more.”

Bloomberg’s Obama-friendly comments came on a day when the Senate’s top Hispanic Republican said Romney will have difficulty winning over Hispanic voters concerned about the nation’s immigration policy.

“There are also a large number of Hispanic voters in the country who happen to be liberal Democrats, who happen to be lifelong Democrats,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “They’re not going to change their positions and decide to vote for Mitt Romney now because he won’t change his position on immigration or not.”(continued)

Figures. He'll be even happier when Mr. Obama confiscates all firearms and sets his wife loose on our food system, I'm sure.

All those other fortunate presidents, who served their terms in blissful ignorance while Congress was filled with the happy laughter of children and the planet would spontaneously broke out into renditions of "Kumbaya" every few hours. Damn Obama's luck.

And Bloomberg is an even bigger buffoon than previously thought

Depends on what kind of Congress comes out of the 2012 elections too.

Before there was a “polarized Congress”, there was the 2007 to 2011 Democrat Controlled Congress. The Senate is still under Democrat Control.

Obama had two years with no thing to stop him. He ran the whole Enchilada and we are worse off today because of it.

The reason Obama got a Dog is because he couldn't blame the Wife after he farted. He won't take the blame for anything.

Almost forgot, Bloomberg is an SOB acting like an A Hole.

Right Place Right time. He had a little gizmo called a computer and wrote a little program that made pricing of bonds so easy a monkey could do it. Every broker in the country who sold bonds had to have one of those gizmos on his desk. He had a virtual monopoly for about 30 years.
