Bloomberg to Jewish Group: Reject Muslim Smear Against Obama


Friday, June 20th, 2008

“This is wedge politics at its worst, and we’ve got to reject it — loudly, clearly and unequivocally.”

3. Or maybe, as a Jew, he' s embarrassed by these idiots who claim to speak for his people?
I'm not sure what to think of Bloomberg's constant political flip flopping myself, but I applaud him for denouncing this crap.

7. Bloomberg
is a good guy, even if I don't agree with everything he does. He was a massive improvement over Guliani.
