Bloomberg Focuses on Rest (as in Rest of the World)
New York Times ^ | 14 December 2013 | MICHAEL BARBARO

Michael R. Bloomberg, determined to parlay his government experience and vast fortune into a kind of global mayoralty, is creating a high-powered consulting group to help him reshape cities around the world long after he leaves office.

To build the new organization, paid for out of his own pocket, the billionaire mayor is taking much of his City Hall team with him: He has already hired many of his best-known and longest-serving deputies, promising them a chance to export the policies they developed in New York to far-flung places like Louisville, Ky., and Mexico City.

For Mr. Bloomberg, the project is the first concrete phase of a post-mayoral life that aides said would remain intensely focused on cities, long viewed by him as laboratories for large-scale experiments in public health, economic development and environmental sustainability.

I hope longevity is not a part of his biology.

Oh please, spare the world “your vision,” you little Marxist prick. Instead spend your money developing a better elevator shoe.

It’s unfortunate he’s so tight with the Clintons. We might otherwise be able to inspire him into becoming the Perot of 2016 and split the liberal vote.

Ahhh, Bloomberg.

Some people who amass a billion bucks do great charitable works.

Others merely stroke their egos while pretending what they are doing is for the benefit of others. Bloomie is one of these.

Remember that Nazi democrats like Bloomberg willfully murder babies in the womb and after they’re born, as evidenced at Waco. Think about that in your prayers tonight, and then buy more ammo.

If you think that your children will be spared by Nazi/commie democrats, you’re thinking wrong.
