Bloomberg highlights ties to Obama in new ad

[left-of-center2012]

Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday launched a new ad touting his ties to former President Obama, highlighting their work together in communities across the country.

The ad opens with clips of Obama introducing Bloomberg at an event in 2013, and goes on to list Bloomberg's work with the former president on gun safety and education.

The former New York City Mayor endorsed Obama's 2012 reelection bid, citing his stance on climate change. The two leaders also worked on gun control reform in 2013 following the Sandyhook shooting that left 26 people dead.

1. whoever does his ads

needs a raise. Bloomberg's ads are all really good.

3. I'm sure they're the best money can buy.

Give 'em hell Mike!

2. That's a good ad.

He really does hire the best. Keep it up Mike; it's only money or spare change to you!

4. Good thing he isn't highlighting his business ties to China.

Now that would really be embarrassing.

5. Or his statement on "entitlements"

And keep in mind, no program to reduce the deficit makes any sense whatsoever unless you address the issue of entitlements, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, interest payment on the debt, which you can't touch, and defense spending. Everything else is tiny compared to that.

Or his support of raising retirement age to 69 or his endorsement of the Simpson Bowles cat food policy.

6. Yep. He's a real man of people who thinks the world of poor and working class folks.

He really represents the core values of our party well, and it only cost him $200 million dollars of his own money so far to do it. What a bargain!

7. I like Biden's ties to Obama more.

Since we're simply throwing our spurious correlations as somehow relevant...

8. I actually agree with that.

I take Steve Austin's ties to Bigfoot more seriously than I take Bloomberg's ties to Obama. Both are fictional, but only one is entertaining fiction.
