Business Abandons Romney as Bloomberg and The Economist Endorse Obama

Days before the election, the business community is abandoning Republican “businessman” Mitt Romney in order to endorse the Democratic incumbent President Obama. These are not ringing endorsements, but rather concern over Romney’s failure to make the math work and his hard turn to the right. In other words, Mitt Romney has finally managed to lose the faith and confidence of the one constituency that he was supposed to have locked up.

The Mayor of New York and the founder/majority owner of Bloomberg News endorsed Obama today. Bloomberg said if the old Mitt Romney were running, he might have voted for him. But given Romney’s tack to the right, Bloomberg is endorsing the President for a second term. He concluded, “If he (Obama) listens to people on both sides of the aisle, and builds the trust of moderates, he can fulfill the hope he inspired four years ago and lead our country toward a better future for my children and yours. And that’s why I will be voting for him.”

A Good Read

1. This is why I refuse

to believe that the polls are really 50-50. That can't be. Nobody like that douchebag -- even his running mate. The polls should be Obama - 70, Romney 30.

Remember that the country is 29 percent total idiots.

2. But Bloomberg endorsed Scott Brown in MA, didn't he? Maybe he's catching a clue now.

A GOP victory will be the utter destruction of the USA.

3. Bloomberg might be trying to stay with the winner.

He waited to see what the late numbers said and jumped in like he has been there all along. Can't hurt to be on the winning team.

4. And I think Bloomberg was getting a lot of backlash from not letting Obama come to NYC yesterday

Endorsing Obama was an easy way for him to stop the bad PR he was getting.

5. So Bloomberg is all of business? News to me.

6. There is more to the article than just Bloomberg. n/t

7. The only other business related entity is the Economist.

But that to me doesn't mean that business is leaving Romney. No survey or poll that supports it. Just two magazines with their opinion. Contrary to other businesses that are nearly demanding their employees to vote for Romney or be fired.

10. it doesnt say all business is leaving

the economist and bloomberg both represent business and when the economist says Romney's economic plans are crap that is pretty shocking.
