This one should be fun…..

George pushing a third party candidacy because he knows that is the only way Obama will win a second term.  So transparent….he thinks people are just that stupid.  Unbelievable.

oh and where was Bloomberg in getting behind the president last go round?  This “he needs our support” is nothing but liberal BS.  If he had a decent plan it would be one thing, but he has offered nothing.

Bloomberg is just trying to keep the Federal Grants coming to support that pig pen of a city!

Fact: This President?  http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=331525

Um he actually did get behind GWB, he lobbied for the republican convention in NYC in 2004 and endorsed Bush for reelection, he just didn’t appreciate being lied to about Iraq, much like the majority of America

I can’t help but chuckle at the foreigners who refer to him as “My/your President” and wonder why they have such an interest in American politics.

He needs a vacation. A year and a half should do.

If there’s one thing complimentary I will say about the modern day GOP, it’s that they have the proper amount of respect for the intelligence of the “average” American. Which is none whatsoever.

The quote doesn’t support the writers conclusion.

“For better or for worse, no matter what your political persuasion is, the President is our President. We have to get behind the President. . . . And he needs our support.”

Yet despite Bloomberg’s reasoned complaints, he’s not blaming the President:

Fact: What is it recycled sewage water in areas that think Obama needs more coddling about his BS ideas!

Eat your peas , America . Without salt .

Support Obama , huh ?

The guy spends millions of taxpayer dollars on himself , so I guess we all support King Obama .

Get me a bigger paint brush, I need to cover most of America with my philosphical paint. What an assinine statement, but as expected from the left. By the way, asshole, weren’t you the one screaming from the mountain tops about the republican armageddon in Wisconsin, how the people will speak and the teaparty will go down in ashes in this recall election? Whoops. As right as ever pube, you couldn’t get out of the bathroom without a roadmap, so maybe it’s time to put your tail back between your legs and get back in the basement before mom catches you spanking it in your sisters room again.

“For better or for worse, no matter what your political persuasion is, the President is our President. We have to get behind the President. . . . And he needs our support.”

It is not rational for Bloomberg to ask that the president be supported just because he is our president..  He must first put something out there that the people of american will buy into..  He has to paint a vision in our minds as to what America will look like when we get there, and show us a practical plan that if we support it will set us on a path to get there…  I am sorry that president has not done this..  Standing up and giving a speech about education and investment in infrastructure is not going to cut it.  He must address the issues that are holding this nation back and not allowing us to get the economy back on track…

In example Bloomberg himself points to;

“We have at this point regulation that changes every day – business can’t plan that way. We have a tax policy that nobody can understand . . . we have a government that fundamentally is not working.”.We see more and more regulation coming out of Washington than ever before, it is a well known fact that much of what the president could not get passed through congress he has turned to his regulatory agencies to effect.  Be it the EPA, Financial regulation, or Reporting and compliance standards set by the new Healthcare law business is being swamped by regulation and compliance The SBA currently estimates those costs to American business at $1.75 trillion annually and growing. Where is the President on Tax code reform… Not just simply raising taxes but an overhaul of an old system that is not serving either the government’s needs or the needs of the American tax payers, a system that has been bought and paid for by special interests, Where is his voice?..  I would follow and support the president if he gave me reason to, if he would help me see a better future, but he does not..  The vision he inspires in me is one of doom and gloom, of more of the same and an even worsening political divide in our country..  Please Mr. President, prove me wrong, get up, leave the campaign speeches at home forget about left or right, and lead this country back to prosperity. If you put the right message in front of the American people you will be able to bend the back of congress to your will, it has been done before, Reagan had a message, and Clinton also had a message, they chose to be leaders and not victims..  you sir can do the same. http://www.speaker.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=252030

“We don’t have the luxury of focusing on the next election,” .. Bloomberg is right. That’s why Obama is so busy raising funds for his re-election, only to take a break for a game of golf and blame GOP, S&P, and nature for the poor economy. Let us ignore what is happening to US economy, and support Obama in his only quest to seek re-election. Mr Bloomberg ! you are a blooming idiot.

I’ve made the same points about the regulation coming from this admin, Fedup, and glad to see Bloomberg reiterate it. This whitehouse is anti business and is costing millions of jobs with their actions, but have you seen the payroll in Washington, and the raises for Obama’s assistants. http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gawker/2011/07/0706_whchart.jpg Hypocrites one and all.

I put this quote (fractured as it may be) up the other day. It’s a good one for Mr. Bloomberg.
“The office commands respect, the occupant must earn it”.
Obama is losing respect by the day and Bloomberg is trying to claw some of it back without the President earning it.

That little diatribe is way past the sell by date, lost it’s effectiveness long before the over played race card.  It never ceases to amaze that their are still people,  after eight years,  that have not bothered to take their partisan blinders off, they would rather look like a fool just to spew their lie.

BTW, more nonsense……..You are claiming Bloomberg endorsed Bush after Bush lied to him about Iraq, pfft! 

I will never support ANYONE who hates this Country as much as our incompetent community organizer.

He lacks ALL the qualifications to be President. The only reason why he was elected was because he made so many false promises to anyone who would vote for him and of course, the under-informed bought into his blatant lies!
FACT is the guy is a flat out phoney…a complete fake..a habitual liar!

No wonder why he has to seal up his past!!

Independents fueled GOP House majority. Now give it 20/68 approval, say they’d vote Dem 39-36: http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2011/08/boehner-as-unpopular-as-pelosi.html

McConnell, Boehner Make Deficit Committee Appointments
All six Republicans have signed a pledge to Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform that they will not vote to raise taxes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/10/mcconnell-boehner-deficit-committee-appointments_n_923312.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000008

I’m amazed that with their approval ratings tanking because of their refusal to compromise the GOTP has decided to double down.

Kitty, are you still referring to black men as “boy?”

He needs our support? For what? According to him and libs, he isn’t responsible for any thing.

yea much like those other republican southern states that get more federal money than other states but yet complain about the BIG federal government. hmmm interesting.

Bloomberg surely jests. LOL. Obama wouldn’t know help if it bit him on the nose. The republicans have been helping him by stopping the really stupid things he would still be trying to enact.

Obama is a left-wing loon.

You’re nuts.

Amen, Mr. Mayor – now watch your back. The Teabag Nation will surely start to attack you – b/c they really don’t give a crap about our country, just their own pocketbooks and their own party.  They’ve taken a pledge to a private citizen and are rooting against our country. That makes them terrorists. 

Hahaha — look at you = doing exactly what you’re accusing the President of doing — playing the blame game. Surprised you didn’t attack him for paying respects to the brave SEALS who died over the weekend — something his predecessor never did.   At least he’s not taking 5 weeks off like CONGRESS~ Get a grip.

Proof please – not just repeating Tea Party lines. How the hell do you expect a President to run the country without a staff.  Your ignorance abounds.  Oh and by the way, how about the milllion jobs the president saved via the auto bailout?  Yep, stop listening to Rush, or at least try to broaden your narrow horizons.

I agree..lets all get behind Obama and throw him out of the WH. Probably the best thing that could happen to him and this Country.

Why was it so obvious to soo many of us that he clearly was not qualified for the job and yet even more people were soo oblivious to that fact?

GWB was respected by the military unlike Barry.  Maybe if YOU broadened your narrow horizons, you would have known about the numerous trips Bush made to Walter Reed – sans cameras and an entourage to make sure we all knew about it.  Barry is playing lip service to the military, nothing more.  He doesn’t need to take 5 weeks off like Congress.  Google it and find out just how many days Barry has out of Washington. 

Let’s see… So far we have been racists, radicals, and now terrorists?  The TP is trying to save the country, not destroy it.  But I wouldn’t expect you to know that.

Why should we support a man that is trying to bring our country to its knees?

 follow me on this one RIO

The US invaded Iraq in march of 2003 and didn’t officially give up the search for weapons till early 2005, the republican convention was held in late aug/ early sept of 2004

See how a time line works?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% of all
Likely U.S. Voters believe the average member of the Tea Party has a
better understanding of the problems America faces today, while 34%
think the average member of Congress is more clued in. Twenty-four
percent (24%) are undecided.

The only support that terrorist Obama deserves is a dirty jockstrap to hold his lying mouth shut.

Hizzonor was a Republican and became an independent only because he could never have gotten the Democratic nomination; he’s the wrong color.  He bought his office twice, and has no more respect for the democratic – small D” – process than his buddy, President Obama.

The greatest city in the world…you just wouldn’t fit in.

Yes Mike, our president needs our support as he spends the country into Greece.

A person as brilliant as the liberals told us obama is, does not need a staff.  Since all he does is dither and make mindless speeches a stall is not necessary  to accomplish that.  However, planning his many vacations does require a megalarge staff.

Fedup is citing a a dollar figure that is nonsense.The phony figure of $1.75 trillion as an annual cost on the
economy due to regulations comes from what is called the Crain and Crain study
after its authors, Nicole V. and W. Mark Crain. 
It was commissioned by the Small Business Administration (SBA) NOT for
the purpose of figuring out how much federal rules cost the economy, but to
give the SBA a better handle on the impact of regulation on small businesses,
compared to large businesses. 

The number has been utterly debunked by several
organizations, including the nonprofit Economic Policy
Institute and the Congressional
Research Service.

Crain and Crain acknowledged their study’s limitations. In an
email to the Congressional Research Service, they stated that their report is
“not meant to be a decision-making tool for lawmakers or federal regulatory
agencies to use in choosing the ‘right’ level of regulation. In no place in any
of the reports do we imply that our reports should be used for this purpose.”

Despite previous cautions from the study authors themselves
about its use in a policy debate, the figure has taken on a life of its own and
has been repeated incessantly by corporate spokespeople, lawmakers, and special
interest lobbyists.

Many familiar with the regulatory process have known about
the study’s defects. Testifying at a recent Senate hearing of the Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Cass Sunstein, administrator of
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, said the outrageous dollar
figure “should be considered nothing more than urban legend.” Austan Goolsbee,
the former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, called the figure
“utterly erroneous.”

Members of Congress, party hacks and proponents of Big Business who cite the phony $1.75
trillion cost figure need to cease. It is overstated and misleading, and
lawmakers should not use it as the basis for policymaking.

The President needs the support of a functioning Congress that is beyond self interest. Markets fluctuate, but its the economy that needs to consistently properly helped along.

‘…The blame is all of us.’

Well then let’s look at another study, maybe one done for California as that state more than any other seems to standard bearer for progressive thought..

“The studyfinds that the total cost of regulation to the State of California is $492.994 billion which isalmost five times the State’s general fund budget, and almost a third of the State’s grossproduct. The total cost of regulation results in an employment loss of 3.8 million jobswhich is a tenth of the State’s population.

“http://www.sba.ca.gov/Cost%20of%20Regulation%20Study%20-%20Final.pdf

Just keep thinking that you can regulate everything while you try to rebuild our economy.  Show me where I am wrong about the costs of regulation, show me that it does not slow the economy or come at such a great cost that it can actually destroy businesses and employers..  I am not saying that there is no need for regulation, but our government has gone to far and created a destructive regulatory environment at a cost to the economic welfare of the American public.

Where did the Rasmussen group get their call list?  The Republican National Committee?  The Tea Party may have an understanding of THEIR problems today, but I doubt seriously they give a damn about the problems of the other 370 million Americans.  Welcome to America – the land of everyone for them themselves.
