Michael Bloomberg Praises Obama Idea. Rips Government

    First off, Mayor Bloomberg said that the United States "has a balance sheet that's starting to look more and more like a third-world country." Source

   He should have made the point that our government is acting more like a corrupt, third world entity while he was at it.

    On the presidential candidates:

His tirade against the candidates and the economic stimulus package on Thursday began when he was asked how that experiment is going.
In his answer, he praised Democrat Barack Obama for the plan the Illinois senator outlined on Wednesday that would create a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank to rebuild highways, bridges, airports and other public projects. Obama projects it could generate nearly 2 million jobs.
"I don't know whether Senator Obama looked to see what I've been advocating, or not -- you'll have to ask him -- but he's doing the right thing," Bloomberg said.

  Yet, the press and others say that Barack Obama has no solid ideas? Go figure. No idea is more ideas than George Bush has had, or any other Republican for that matter.
