From NY Civic:
He is scrupulously honest, of course. He never takes a dime. But while he does good, he has many powerful and rich friends who do well under City policies. He uses his wealth with no more caution than Julius Caesar used his armies. He gets done what needs to get done, using money. When it was necessary to have “popular” support for his term-limits repeal in 2009, the word was passed to certain churches that receive Michael Bloomberg’s personal philanthropy, and their parishioners showed up at City Hall to support the arcane law change.
Michael Bloomberg seems to consider the United States Bill of Rights as an unwanted intrusion upon his power. The First Amendment right to assemble, and the Fourth Amendment right to be secure in one’s possessions are annoyances to him, not jewels in our crown of freedom. The relationship between the New York Police Department and many parts of our population is going downhill fast.
Bloomberg’s leadership of the New York public schools has been a disaster. The details of the chaos will need a whole column, or maybe a book. But suffice to say that the Mayor who once boasted loudly of how he was going to straighten out the city’s schools is now urging parents to take their children out of the very schools that he himself runs and put them in charter schools. Is that not abject surrender? Is it anything else?
His creation of the “High Line” park, his street closings, his promotion of bicycles, his anti-smoking measures all have the tone of a modern day reformer. But they are really distractions from the city’s real problems – crime, injustice, class polarization, lack of low-income housing, rock bound poverty, etc. These all go on, yet there seems to be no relief from his good advice.

This man is definitely not a leader and afraid of his own small shadow. To pair him with Caesar is an insult...to Caesar.
He will always be known as the bicycle mayor. But hey, when he bitch slapped all new yorkers by circumventing term limits, you all grinned and voted him in again. Enjoy!
This is the same manchild who abandoned his post during a fierce blizzard, vacationing in the sun while the rest of us were left stranded and freezing, and then told us to go see a Broadway show when we had the audacity to complain.
If you're going to mention Bloomberg and a Roman emperor in the same sentence, I think Nero would be a better choice. Julius Ceasar led at the head of his army, while Bloomberg 'leads' with his loaded $$$ checkbook from behind his hired mouthpiece, Stu Loeser.
Bloomberg is a self indulged, narcissistic despot-wannabe. Clearly born in the wrong nation and in the wrong century, he would have made a fair-to-middling petty European prince in the 17th century. His legacy will be tainted by his arrogance, his unwillingness to work with his constituents, and his thin skinned inability to handle any kind of criticism.

He's not too hot when it comes to the Second Amendment, either...
he was the first leftwinger (rino) to use the movie massacre in colorado to once again call for( anti-)constitution right for americans to bear arms.
yet he stated that the muslim car bomber in Times Square was a disgruntled unemployed citizen.....
Wabc M.S.M. Brian Ross, in error, blamed a member of the TAX ENOUGH PARTY .
they should all be replaced, before we all are in jeopardy.
I didn't vote
for that arrogant pint sized despot.
Apparently, too many of you did.
So just continue stewing
in your own juice until Bloomberg is finally gone.
The dumber New Yorkers become (politically speaking) the more easily they can be bamboozled into electing those who will certainly harm them!
My advice:
Wise up fast before you all hit the polls next time.
