In a surprise announcement, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said Thursday that Hurricane Sandy had reshaped his thinking about the presidential campaign and that as a result he was endorsing President Obama.
Mr. Bloomberg, a political independent in his third term leading New York City, has been sharply critical of both Mr. Obama, a Democrat, and Mitt Romney, the presidents Republican rival, saying that both men have failed to candidly confront the problems afflicting the nation. But he said he had decided over the past several days that Mr. Obama was the best candidate to tackle the global climate change that the mayor believes contributed to the violent storm, which took the lives of at least 38 New Yorkers and caused billions of dollars in damage.
The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast in lost lives, lost homes and lost business brought the stakes of next Tuesdays presidential election into sharp relief, Mr. Bloomberg wrote in an editorial for Bloomberg View.
Our climate is changing, he wrote. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it may be given the devastation it is wreaking should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.

I really thought that there was a lowest attainable IQ.
Then there was Boomdork.
A 1% 'Rat retard he is.
I always thought he was goofball. This “confirms” it.
A whiny arrogant global elitist
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Bah. He did it wrong. BUSH is the fault of Sandy.
One dictator endorses another ...nothing to see here ... move along
Really, this is no surprise. Bloomberg has been only playing us, but his actions have long exposed him for those of us watching and not making excuses for him. Gun control, paternalistic large sugar drinks limits, and much more;
This is a Bloomberg coming out party.
He doesn’t have to hide it any more.
He is a liberal and he supports democrats.
It is done.
Bullshit.
Bloomie can claim in the future that it was because of G.W. that he backed O - NOT the real reason [which is that he agrees with all of O’s economic, foreign, and social policies] ...
Mayor Hypocrite makes a carbon footprint with a 12,500-sqft NYC townhouse, a private jet and a summer home http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/04/bloomberg.html.
SILENCE SERF!!!
You will ride your bike and pay your carbon credits for the CO2 you exhale, and you will like it! What do you think you are anyway? (other than a lowly serf)
-sarc- LOL
Where to start. First, wasn’t it a relatively mild hurricane season? Next, there is no climate change action for Obama to take when China is building a coal plant each day. Only a fool thinks a single storm was caused by climate change. This just shows you how foolish NYC limousine liberals react to life’s events.
I’m glad he endorsed Obama. Somehow it would have left a dung taste in my mouth had that flaming liberal endorsed Mitt Romney. I had much rather he stayed on his side of the fence.
It’s amazing a retard like this can own a multi-billion dollar media empire.
Record unemployment, economy in the shitter and this idiot is worried about the weather and thinks Obama can change it.
must’ve got too much salt water in his sucking head wound...what a dope.
I’ll drink a 32 oz. Coke to that!
