In the last few years Mayor Bloomberg has established a positive reputation as a leader, as he's done an exceptional job as our city's Mayor, well, atleast during these hard times. Though no one saw it coming (atleast not me), Bloomberg's camp is hinting at a presidential run in 2008.

With President Bush's approval rate dipping lower than a jamaican dancer, the Republicans seem the least favorite in the up-coming elections. Democrats, while the lesser of two evils, seems too weak and confused to handle the fragile situation we are in internationally. That's why if Bloomberg makes a run for it, he will run as an independent candidate. That's a move that could catapult him into favorable status. Yeah, I know we're used to seeing Ross Perot running as the last-place independent party, but this is a more modern and wiser billionaire. Bloomberg has even been quoted as saying that he can easily put up to a half-a-billion dollars for a national campaign, which equals what both President Bush, and John Kerry spent combined in the 2004 presidential elections.

It's obvious that we are in a huge mess, with our international peers, we don't need another problem solver, we need a charmer. Someone who can dissolve this hatred towards our country. With Bloombergs knack for applying more modern tactics to problem solving, that could very much help calm down this Jihad waged against us. I don't trust Hillary Clinton as far as I can throw her, and Senator Mccain might just be looking to avenge his 5-years as a prisoner of war. I'm not a gambler, but what do we have to lose? I say go for it Bloomy...

Is it the heat? The high-price of oil? or is New York not cleaning their water supply good enough, because people are acting a fool.
