@bwog post fail nytimes.com front page has an article about how obama is ignoring thompson.
obama and bloomberg are buddies
@huh? “Democrats side with Obama, want Bloomberg out…” Huh? I haven’t read the attached article yet, but that is one curious headline. Since when did President Obama declare his opposition to “Mike,” whose endorsement or at least withdrawal of prospective presidential candidacy he so pointedly sought last year and whose friendship he so putatively courted? As far as I’ve heard thus far, Obama is loathe to support anyone else, at least insofar as or as long as the consensus is that no one else will win. Because he is, like his “buddy” in the city, a consensus builder and popularity seeker above all. He will abandon almost any principle or party or person (and granted these are not the same things) if popularity commands it.
@huh douglaston has nothing to do with astoria.
