interesting news today from the new york post of all places
apparently
uh... the president played golf all all day long with mayor bloomberg a couple of days
ago
and
there's rumors that mayor bloomberg might replace
tim geithner treasury secretary
and now that would be very
infinitely terrible for new york
uh... but it was a very interesting i think every time i go to new york the town where
i grew up where you are right now
uh... since michael bloomberg has become aaron not you know
be credited with every single alsa
it's not only michael bloomberg for the city is so much better than it was
uh... when i left it and uh... so it's been a very good mayor but i suspect could also
be a great
great treasury secretary i don't know that he was like reporting to someone
use ups and downs of determining a newsstand
to massive autumn when there was some of the day outside
look uh... he is very friendly with wall street new york he's the mayor of new york so that
makes some of your sense
but also
he's made his fortune by selling bloomberg terminals
the wall street
yellow
roberto turnaround it's because it's such a untouchable level of welfare
but i don't see him
the is beyond the the kind of wealth that we're talking about i don't see him being
swayed by these sorts of things as much as others
and the other thing that anyone is going to be the at the head of treasury
is gonna have some relationship to the business community it said you know you're not gonna
get somebody who's confirmed by the senate was appointed by president who was just
not part of the business community that treasury
yes uh... understand that
some of the proof is in the body he has been very soft the berlin wall street so far new
york but don't get me wrong
that's a major downsizing
but i'm actually incredibly hopeful about bloomberg
uh... and i think it's going to happen and saying it's at least the possibility yet
because of one
at his face enormous upside is that he's strong
and he comes in and if he thinks he's that some things the right way to go because does
if he does need to be and what people think
so the wall street beggars condiment prior but i don't know if you do this to us
wilbur will turn around st
yes five
fricking fair
exaggerate live
and then number two his enormous advantages that he's not
go right now that's implicit and and from where you're sitting
uh... a couple things are and what you said that there's an real difference
uh... between the mayor of new york being cozy and colin to wall street and the treasury
secretary united states because in thailand to wall street the implications are very different
for either one uh... in in either position it would
michael that is a hundred percent room
and he even says look as mayor of new york it was his important our economy
which is absolutely right right now that gives him a different vantage point
treasury secretary he could go on a different the direction if he does this
now
you know always really like mike bloomberg in my life their fathers of the country
and
i have a secret hope
that he would be f_d_r_ like figure
that was he gets into a position of power
that and stuff
eydie called at the art of time
that the other uh... upper-class people call a traitor to his
okay to his classes
this is a traitor spot and and bloomer the kind of guy group could be top unprincipled
and say
nominee right by the american people i don't care what anybody says
so ob hoping against hope and by the way
don't miss the politics of this
or bombers if he's actually doing this is incredibly smart to do it as the one dime
cause the real problems in twenty twelve if you read it as an independent
is mike bloomberg
with his billions of dollars and his actual centrist credential like or even a primary
challenge and the reason is switching parties all the time of doing those things i mean
that there could be a primary challenge of michael bloomberg to
