By spending a few hundred million dollars on TV ads Mike Bloomberg was able to promote a totally false impression of his seemingly high regard for Barack Obama. Except those ads were made to distort and conceal the truth. A lot more people will see Bloomberg's ads than will see this one, unless we somehow are able to get it to go wildly viral.

It is telling that he would claim our first black president inspired racial division.

MSM, during the run up to the GE in 2008, stoked the fear that Obama was a black radical and “reverse racist,” a mythical racist concept, through demonizing his pastor. The idea, meant to warn off white voters, was that Obama could not be a president for ALL, would use the presidency to set off a kind of cold racial war. In other words, his presidency would threaten white privilege and empower black people.

Bloomberg used a dog whistle to whites while pretending to care about “segregation,” when he accused Obama of exacerbating racial division. His message was the same as MSM’s, delivered I am sorry to say by so-called liberal news hosts clutching their pearls over Wright’s post 9/11 sermon, from which they played an out-of-context YouTube version over and over. Has he denounced him? How could he sit in those pews with his family all those years and listen to this?

MSM, the internet, had twisted Reverend Wright, patriot and humanitarian, into an anti-American, traitorous, black power symbol, Obama’s proxy.

It is against this background that we need to look at Bloomberg’s allegation. He was digging into that racist pile of manure flung around initially to try to stop Obama from becoming president and then periodically dipped into during his tenure.

He was simply continuing a line of racist attack against Obama no less untrue and offensive than birtherism. Thank you, Biden, for exposing Bloomberg’s real relationship to Obama’s presidency not reflected in his ad, as an outspoken critic, a detractor not at all squeamish about echoing the race-based fears and lies that dogged Obama from the time he entered the race to the time he left the presidency. Bloomberg was and is no friend.

This is the most brilliant thing I seen all week.

Joe getting spicy and Billionairre Bloomberg feeling the heat he deserves.

If Joe plays it right tonight he could take down Bloomberg hard and finish him off once and for all.

We should only have Democrats on that stage, not Republicans.
