From the NY Times:
New Yorkers are having second thoughts about Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s third term.
As for a fourth term? No thanks.
With less than 18 months to go in Mr. Bloomberg’s unexpectedly long mayoral tenure, nearly three-quarters of New Yorkers said he should not have been allowed to run for a third term, according to the latest poll by The New York Times.
Mr. Bloomberg, having persuaded the City Council to approve a change in term limits that paved the way for his re-election in 2009, has presided over city government for more than a decade, and he still gets solid grades. Forty-eight percent of the poll’s respondents approved of his job performance, and 39 percent disapproved, about the same as a year ago.
But asked if they would support Mr. Bloomberg, a political independent, in a hypothetical bid for a fourth four-year stint in City Hall, 65 percent of New Yorkers said they would not vote for the mayor again. One-quarter of voters would vote for him to stay on, and 8 percent said “it depends.” (The mayor, who is 70, has said he has no plans to run again.)

So we would have had Weiner Boy? Some Chinese crook from Queens? A one issue rug muncher from the Village? No thanks. Bloomberg has done just fine keeping the city going as the world's economy continues to death spiral, and keeping the 11-year-olds with guns in the hood (apparently where they are welcomed, encouraged, and protected). You think A.B. (after Bloomberg), with some democrat hack at the helm, is going to be a new age of prosperity? You're dreaming.
Actually, we would have had Bill Thompson.
It took THREE terms to realize this?
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three times, well what can we do? We are RE-FUCKING-TARDED!
As long as the system that overturned term limits put him there, and escapes the public's wrath, nothing will change.
Yes, City Council.

Bloomberg has done just fine keeping the city going? Really? You're the one that's dreaming.

Anon No. 6: Most likely Bloomberg.
What makes you think that Emperor Bloomberg
will leave office willingly or gracefully?
This 5' 7" Bonaparte has an ego--
the size of which--that even surpasses his personal wealth.
"WAH! WAH! WAH!
Don't take my city away from me"!
What's with hizzoner's pursed lips...
lock jaw or blower's cramps?
He certainly doesn't have to kiss anyone's ass...
not with his kind of money....for sure.
Oh...I get it....he froze in the middle of telling us taxpayers another lie.
If he can't find another way of keeping himself occupied--a bigger place to put his stamp on--he might just find a way to keep the city in his grubby hands. After all, there are still pockets of affordable neighborhoods out there, they must be rooted out and made into suitable investment vehicles for foreign money!
He can always pay off the Scottish Parliament to run for something over there like his pal Trump paid them off to destroy their coastline and build his ridiculous 'luxury' golf course.
PUT HIM IN JAIL ALREADY!
