Michael Bloomberg Endorses Obama For Re-Election

10. strongly disagreed with something he wrote

In 2008, Obama ran as a pragmatic problem-solver and consensus-builder. But as president, he devoted little time and effort to developing and sustaining a coalition of centrists, which doomed hope for any real progress on illegal guns, immigration, tax reform, job creation and deficit reduction. And rather than uniting the country around a message of shared sacrifice, he engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it.

BS. The president pissed off his liberal base by compromising too much with the Republicans. And despite that, they almost NEVER supported his legislation. Boehner may be a closet centrist but he was forced to be a tea partier because of the loonies in the House. I believe Obama tried, a bit too much for my liking, to work with those idiots.
