Mayor Bloomberg praises Obama, but noone notices.
WCBS TV reported on Mayor Bloomberg's news conference regarding the sad state of the US Government's financials. He actually praises Barack Obama's plan for a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank (Couldn't they come up with a better name?) but notes this is what he has been proposing all along. I wonder, has he praised any other candidates plans?
Either way, its interesting that one of the arguments against Barack Obama is that he has no specific plans and proposals to help our nation. Yet here is Mayor Bloomberg supporting one of his specific solutions. Also note, he is endorsed by Paul Volcker, former Fed Reserve Chairman.
Does this mean Obama's plan is perfect? No candidate has a perfect plan. Is it the best out there? Maybe. Is it well recieved by some of the better financial minds out there? Yes.

In his answer, he praised Democrat Barack Obama for the plan the Illinois senator outlined on Wednesday that would create a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank to rebuild highways, bridges, airports and other public projects. Obama projects it could generate nearly 2 million jobs.
"I don't know whether Senator Obama looked to see what I've been advocating, or not -- you'll have to ask him -- but he's doing the right thing," Bloomberg said.

Thanks. In my rush to send it out, I forgot to check that. Plus, there's apparently no way to edit once you've posted?

No, no, Rich, you're wrong. Obama has no concrete plans, just rhetoric. Right?

Hmm funny how many highly intelligent people support him even though he has no plan whatsoever (sarcasm).
That's saying nothing against Hillary, she has great plans and intelligent supporters as well. Just saying people need to realize that all these highly educated people wouldn't be supporting him if he had nothing to offer.
