Bloomberg's third term as New York mayor turns sour

City voters have turned on the independent, with a Quinnipiac University poll on Wednesday showing a 51 percent majority disapprove of his performance and 39 percent approve — his lowest rating since November 2003.

The once popular Bloomberg, who flirted with a run for president in 2008, came under heavy criticism for a botched city cleanup of a December 26-27 blizzard that left many neighborhoods buried under snow for days.

Bloomberg ran for a third term in 2009 after pushing the City Council to overturn a voter-approved term limits law.

“Two years ago, Mike Bloomberg was telling New Yorkers they couldn’t survive without him having a third term. Now New Yorkers seem to be wondering whether they can survive a third term,” said Randy Mastro, a lawyer and former deputy mayor.

1. So the main criticism was a "botched city cleanup of a blizzard"?

What about all the racism, sexism stuff we have hearing from "concerned" Sanders supporters?

2. There were other issues as well. My example illustrates how Mayor Mike

had trouble with practical matters such as removing the snow from a blizzard in an effective way.

4. "Anyone who embraces gun control as strongly as Bloomberg has is doomed as a presidential candidate"

is that one of the other issues??

From the article:

Brian Darling, director of government relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said he saw a “minimal future” for Bloomberg in presidential politics because of his advocacy for stricter enforcement of gun laws.

“Anyone who embraces gun control as strongly as Bloomberg has is doomed as a presidential candidate,” Darling said

3. Power and control will always be a problem with the extreme wealthiest.
