All these factors make it more and more likely that Bloomberg will make a run for the White House. His smart move happens to be that before he officially runs he will have his running mate picked. This makes sense because for an independent to get on the ballot is very difficult, so going back to all the states and get his running mate on will be another pain that Mike will not have to deal with. Possible choices for his running mates I mean, other than Arnold (not a real choice but that would be neat to have the VPanator) is Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb and Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga. Alright right now any thing is possible. What needs to happen though is Bloomberg will need 74,108 signatures in Texas to get on the ballot so lets start that now! People in Texas who want the best candidate you might as well begin getting petitions signed for Mike. <br />For more info on this http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/5486973.html<br /><br />BLOOMBERG 08 HERE HE COMES<br />GO SUPPORT HIM AT http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bloomberg08nyc/index.html and http://draftbloomberg.com/<br />or just on this site sign the petition!Mr. Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04156956156335555855noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751427834722354023.post-18719900830951226702008-01-17T18:49:00.000-08:002008-01-17T19:02:40.093-08:00LETS DRAFT BLOOMBERG!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/gif/admin_officials/bloomberg_lowres.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/gif/admin_officials/bloomberg_lowres.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />There are many sites out there that are trying to get Bloomberg to run here are my two favorite petition sites<br />http://draftbloomberg.com/<br />http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bloomberg08nyc/index.html<br />Lets support this man who has recieved support from some of the smartest men in the world from Al Gore stating that he would support an independent such as Mike Bloomberg, Warren Buffet thinks that a Schwarzenegger Bloomberg ticket would be great.

In both parties there does not seem to be a clear cut winner which will make it easier for Bloomberg. In New Hampshire the majority of independent and unaffiliated voters seemed to go for Clinton in Iowa they seemed to go with Obama. Right now it is truly anyone’s White House- which makes it easier for an independent candidate. Also the man the myth the legend who has enough money to make his campaign work Bloomberg has been conducting a voter analysis in all 50 states. Today right now, all signs point to a 2008 run for Bloomberg. Who knows what it will look like in 5 hours!

The <st1:country-region><st1:place>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> citizen’s money will not be spent well. Currently the National Debt is around 9 trillion each year the United States is paying over 400 billion in interest (and by the way a lot of the debt to China) It is difficult for a President to change much (taking something from Ben Stein on CBS in the morning- it is up to the individual to make themselves happier, smarter, healthy and he claims wealthier), I argue if you never see that money you make then you can not become wealthy the president can effect the amount of money you see from your pay check and the candidates that are in the running right now I would not trust with my money-. <span style=""> </span>Obama "<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families:</span></strong> Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans." (From Obama's website) Where is Obama going to get the money to just stop taxing 10 million Americans? And giving a tax credit to over 150 million Americans also seems like a difficult task that no president should attempt to tackle. <st1:city><st1:place>Clinton</st1:place></st1:city> wants to <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Increase the NIH (National Institute of Health) budget by 50% over 5 years and aim to double it over 10 years (</span></strong><st1:city><st1:place><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Clinton</span></strong></st1:place></st1:city><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> website). I am all for having a good na great health care system (oh and a couple of the Republican candidates believe we already have the best health care system in the world I say to them the Nordic countries) but it is hard when our economy is struggling like it is today to throw money into the health care industry. Once we have some on hand money we could spend it.<span style=""> </span>If John Edwards would become the President of the </span></strong><st1:country-region><st1:place><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">United States</span></strong></st1:place></st1:country-region><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, then money will be flying out of Americans pockets faster than Dick Chaney could grab his NitroGlycerin when he is experiencing chest pains. Edwards wants to have Universal Health care (a great ultimate goal but not yet Johnny)- Edwards also wants to </span></strong>"increase the reward for working by raising the minimum wage to at least $9.50 an hour by 2012" (Edwards website) By dramatically increase minimum wage it would cause the Corporations of America to look else where to put there plants/ or franchise’s therefore sending a great deal of industries (which could be taxed by America) abroad. That is just one ramification of a raised minimum wage. It is a nice idea to make sure that no one is poor in <st1:country-region><st1:place>America</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but I think it ends with just that an Idea.<span style=""> </span>Bill Richardson (currently my favorite candidate) I think he would make a great VP for Bloomberg or maybe even Ron Paul.<span style=""> </span>The Republican candidates also do not seem to be the ones that will turn around the American economy. Especially Giuliani he wants to dramatically increase the size of our military- I have no clue where he is getting the money for that (do you?). On his website under his issues it seems as though he is very strong on the issue of increasing every aspect of defense.<span style=""> </span>All I have to say about Romney and MacCain is that they support Bush's fiscal policies if we are 9 trillion in debt today 4 years from now we will be even MORE in debt if we continue to follow Bush. <span style=""> </span>Huckabee well if you do not plan on buying anything big in the next four years he would be a great candidate, he wants to get rid of income taxes all together and just charge huge sales taxes.<span style=""> </span>What it all boils down to is Bloomberg, the man who built a billion dollar corporation. When New York is in rough times Bloomberg knows where the money needs to go (this fact is proven in a New York Observer article published in September<span style=""> </span>(http://www.mikebloomberg.com/en/news/bloombergs_smart_spending) Bloomberg has created bond ratings for the City to leavals that have never been before seen AA- (<a href="http://www.mikebloomberg.com/en/issues/fiscal_responsibility/statement_by_mayor_michael_r_bloomberg_on_third_upgrade_of_new_york_citys_bond_rating_in_the_las">http://www.mikebloomberg.com/en/issues/fiscal_responsibility/statement_by_mayor_michael_r_bloomberg_on_third_upgrade_of_new_york_citys_bond_rating_in_the_las</a>. <span style=""> </span>If I were to trust anyone with my money it would be Mike Bloomberg. <span style=""> </span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">For a nation that is in hard time financially it would be best to have a president that has proven him/herself with money time and time again. Bloomberg is that guy and he will continue to be that guy for New York City it is high time for NYC to share there fiscally savvy leader with the rest of the country.
