Turtles … Fence Posts … And The Enabler - With Video
Few were surprised at yesterday morning’s endorsement from Colin Powell for Obama. However, we are hearing today that Colin Powell’s decision to endorse Obama for POTUS was NOT based on ’skin color’ …
As a matter of fact, the question arises, ‘When did Powell EVER endorse a liberal white inexperienced republican candidate for office?’
Well, he seems to have endorsed Michael Bloomberg for his run at mayor of New York City … Yes, running as an (R) at the time … but you know what, in my ADD Swiss cheese brain I do recall some things from time to time and I DO recall Mayor Bloomberg jumping off the jackass to the elephant since being elected …
So if you start hearing how he endorsed Bloomberg, just simple toss that in the bowl and hit FLUSH …
Bloomberg leaves Republican Party:
NYC mayor, subject of speculation about presidential run, now unaffiliated
(Wed., June. 20, 2007)
NEW YORK - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg left the Republican Party on Tuesday and switched to unaffiliated, a move certain to be seen as a prelude to an independent presidential bid that would upend the 2008 race.
The billionaire former CEO, who was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the Republican Party in 2001 for his first mayoral run, said the change in his voter registration does not mean he is running for president.
“Although my plans for the future haven’t changed, I believe this brings my affiliation into alignment with how I have led and will continue to lead our city,” Bloomberg said.
With an estimated worth of more than $5 billion, he easily could finance an independent presidential bid.
The 65-year-old mayor has increasingly been the subject of speculation that he will run as an independent in 2008, despite his repeated promises to leave politics after the end of his term in 2009. He has fueled the buzz with increasing out-of-state travel, a greater focus on national issues and repeated criticism of the partisan politics that dominate Washington.
“The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making, primarily at the federal level, and the big issues of the day are not being addressed, leaving our future in jeopardy,” he said in a speech Monday at the start of a University of Southern California conference about the advantages of nonpartisan governing.
