为什么“变色龙”纽约市长力挺奥巴马?为了连任私利!

(2012-11-04 19:13:06) 下一个

最近,纽约市长彭博上了媒体头条:他宣布支持奥巴马。

这个纽约市长我很了解。要说“变色龙”,非他莫属!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg

他本来是民主党人,但是纽约的民主党组织被非洲裔和西语裔把持,他没有办法出头。前任市长朱利安尼连任两届市长,按照规定不能再竞选市长。他看到共和党没有强有力的候选人,2001年“投机取巧”改成共和党人参选,顺利当选为市长(从2002年一月一日起)。

依靠共和党的帮助,2006年连任市长后,他贪恋权力,为了连任第三个任期,在2007年退出共和党,拉拢市议会占多数的民主党人,修改章程,允许市长连任三届(以前只允许连任两届)。

他投机钻营,为了当市长而放弃民主党籍,加入共和党;而后为了贪恋市长权位,退出共和党,为了一己私利而改变市长只允许连任两届的规定。这样一个墙头草,一个投机分子,他为了私利,什么事情都会做。

再说一件事:他还是小布什的支持者!2004年他强力支持小布什。他还曾探讨与另一个布什合作竞选总统(http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2010/06/a_jeb_bush_-_michael_bloomberg.php)。

这一次,他还是一副“变色龙”的样子:他自己承认,过去的四年令人失望:“... like so many other independents, I have found the past four years to be, in a word, disappointing....” 但是,他却宣布支持奥巴马连任。为什么?因为他想着继续连任市长,需要占优势的纽约民主党议员们的支持。

是的,过去的四年令人失望,是改变的时候了:Yes, We Need a Change.

罗姆尼的基本资料 -- 也许你不知道!

他的经历表明,他是一个成功者:

成功的投资者,令许多企业转亏为盈,从小企业成长为大企业。一个例证就是Staples,20多年前,它只是麻省的一个小商店,20年后成为全球著名的连锁商店,有2000家商店。

成功的管理者,一个例子就是2004年盐湖城冬奥会。本来盐湖城冬奥会管理失策,已经到了无法承办的地步。罗姆尼在2002年接手组委会,迅速扭转局面,成功举办了2004年冬奥会。而且他是完全作为“志愿者”为冬奥会服务的,没有任何报酬!唯一的遗憾是,众望所归的关颖珊在女子花样滑冰比赛中,尽管没有任何失误,还是不敌超水平发挥的利平斯基(昙花一现,冬奥会后消失了),没有得到金牌。

成功的政府首脑,他在成功“拯救”了盐湖城冬奥会后,当选麻省州长,任期四年,还是没有报酬的“志愿者”。但是他留下的是一连串耀眼的政绩:与民主党控制的州议会合作,通过了医疗保险法案;减少了15亿美元的预算赤字,达到收支平衡(奥巴马当政四年,政府的债务上涨了60%,预算赤字达到三分之一);他任内的州政府,女性管理层雇员的比例是全美50个州政府最高的。

罗姆尼在麻省通过的医保,经过两党充分协商,得到州议会和民众的多数支持。而奥巴马的医保未经充分协商认证,仅凭民主党当时在国会的多数席位,强行通过,造成多数民众反对。随后的国会大选,民主党遭受惨败,就是被奥巴马强行通过医保法案所拖累!

罗姆尼可以坐下来,召集民主党与共和党议员共同协商,通过受到多数民众支持的法案。但是奥巴马就做不到这一点。他当政的四年,无法进行两党沟通协商,单打独斗,增加了族裔对立。这就是两个人的差别。

这些都是有据可查的,公开的资料。大家可以去维基查看,或者Google。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney


很多媒体带着偏见报道,误导了民众。实际情况是,奥巴马当政四年,每年的军费预算都创造历史新高,比小布什2008年的军费高50%。

别忘了,是民主党总统杜鲁门开始了朝鲜战争,而共和党总统艾森豪威尔结束的朝鲜战争。

别忘了,是民主党总统肯尼迪和约翰逊开始了越南战争,并扩大了到东南亚,而共和党总统尼克松和福特结束了越南战争。

民主党总统克林顿参与了肢解南斯拉夫的战争,还有科索沃战争。

小布什开始的第二次伊拉克战争确实是一个不可宽恕的错误,毫无疑问。但是并不能说明所有共和党总统好战。

事实证明,民主党总统更加好战,在历史上开启了更多的战争。

奥巴马上台后,立即扩大了阿富汗战争,每年都增加军费。从小布什在2008年的480多billion,增加到2012年的736 billion。奥巴马也是一个好战分子,而且是大手大脚乱花钱的政客!

物以类聚人以群分,总统大选华人应该站在哪一边?

His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney


He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.

His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan

He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan

He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.

Education:
B.A. from Brigham Young University,

J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University

Religion:
Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

Working Background:

After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary.

After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.

In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States .

In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.

He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.

Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten years.

He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.

He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men.

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%

Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States.

You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it.

But, on the minus side, He never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a Black segregated church for twenty plus years whose pastor called for God to damn America, especially White America.

November 6th, 2012, save our American Republic by voting for Mitt Romney !

Very true

穿高跟鞋的猫 回复 悄悄话 Yes, Bloomberg is a just political opportunist. Nothing else.

I won't be surprised he will claim he is a GOP again one day.
长在红旗下 回复 悄悄话 好消息: Going Out on a Limb: Romney Beats Obama, Handily
Florida (29). The biggest target state has trended Romney since the Denver debate. I don't see any segment of the electorate favoring Obama more than in 2008, and I see some (South Florida Jews) favoring him less. Romney.
Ohio (18). The anti-Romney auto bailout ads have Obama running well enough among blue collar for him to lead most polls. But many polls anticipate a more Democratic electorate than 2008. Early voting tells another story, and so does the registration decline in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County. In 2004, intensity among rural, small town and evangelical voters, undetected by political reporters who don't mix in such circles, produced a narrow Bush victory. I see that happening again. Romney.
Virginia (13). Post-debate polling mildly favors Romney, and early voting is way down in heavily Democratic Arlington, Alexandria, Richmond and Norfolk. Northern Virginia Asians may trend Romney. Romney.
Colorado (9). Unlike 2008, registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats, and more Republicans than Democrats have voted early. The Republican trend in 2010 was squandered by weak candidates for governor and senator. Not this time. Romney.
Iowa (6). The unexpected Romney endorsements by the Des Moines Register and three other newspapers gave voice to buyer's remorse in a state Obama carried by 10 points. Democrats' traditional margin in early voting has declined. Romney.
Minnesota (10). A surprise last-minute media buy for the Romney campaign. But probably a bridge too far. Obama.
New Hampshire (4). Polls are very tight here. I think superior Republican intensity will prevail. Romney.
Pennsylvania (20). Everyone would have picked Obama two weeks ago. I think higher turnout in pro-coal western Pennsylvania and higher Republican percentages in the Philadelphia suburbs could produce a surprise. The Romney team evidently thinks so too. Their investment in TV time is too expensive to be a mere feint, and as this is written, Romney is planning a Sunday event in Bucks County outside Philly. Wobbling on my limb, Romney.
Nevada (6). Democratic early voting turnout is down from 2008 in Las Vegas' Clark County, 70 percent of the state. But the casino unions' turnout machine on Election Day re-elected an unpopular Harry Reid in 2010, and I think they'll get enough Latinos and Filipinos out this time. Obama.
Wisconsin (10). Recent polling is discouraging for Republicans. But Gov. Scott Walker handily survived the recall effort in June with a great organizational push. Democrats depend heavily on margins in inner-city Milwaukee (population down) and the Madison university community. But early voting is down in university towns in other states. The Obama campaign is prepared to turn out a big student vote, but you don't see many Obama signs on campuses. Romney.
Michigan (16). Romney chose Pennsylvania, where there's no auto bailout issue. Obama.
Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223. That sounds high for Romney. But he could drop Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still win the election.

长在红旗下 回复 悄悄话 One of New York's most influential and traditionally Democratic media organizations pulled a stunner Sunday when it reversed its 2008 endorsement of Barack Obama to join the New York Post in endorsing Mitt Romney.
“Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world’s toughest job,” the endorsement in part states. “We valued Obama’s pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship. The hopes of those days went unfulfilled.”

The endorsement also ticks off a list of reasons for why the daily tabloid is backing Romney in 2012 – including smaller paychecks, fewer jobs and higher subway fares and gasoline prices.

“America's heart, soul, brains and muscle -- the middle- and working-class people who make this nation great -- have been beset for too long by sapping economic decline,” the editorial continues. “So, too, (have) New York breadwinners and families.”

Beyond the rhetoric, the paper backs up its decision with a salvo of numbers after the 2008 financial crisis – including a 7.9 percent national jobless rate and nine million fewer jobs.

The 11 papers, according the study, that also switched to Romney are:
The New York Daily News
Long Island Newsday
Houston Chronicle
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Orlando Sentinel
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
Nashville Tennessean
Des Moines Register
Illinois Daily Herald
Los Angeles Daily News
Los Angeles Press-Telegram

Only one newspaper, The San Antonio Express-News, which endorsed the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has switched to endorsing Obama.

23. Obama 1964 Divorce Papers - 13 Pages - Missing Pg 11.
24. Why isn’t Barack Obama still a member of the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25. Why isn’t Michelle Obama still a member of the Illinois bar, after only about four years of practice, and where are all of the relevant documents?

Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.

These are pretty easy things to produce. And why are they all sealed?
