Mayor BloombergFrom CBS News we learn:

Mayor Bloomberg will stand side by side with Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama for the second time in four months Thursday. Bloomberg will introduce the Illinois senator at a speech on the economy at Cooper Union College.

They have spent time with each other in the past, but Bloomberg's latest appearance with Obama is fueling speculation about whether the mayor will officially endorse the presidential candidate.

Does it matter who Bloomberg endorses? Clinton supporters, on the count of three... If the notoriously coy mayor of New York does give Obama the nod, no doubt Clinton fans will quickly add him to the list of "traitors," just one more "Judas" in our midst. We loved him yesterday, but hate him today. He's no better than all those other prominent liberals who had the audacity to express a preference as to who they prefer in a Democratic election. The nerve!

So will he endorse Obama? Beats me. Certainly, however, the billionaire likes what he sees about Obama's economic plan. In a scathing speech back on February 15, Bloomberg singled out Obama while excoriating most everyone else for what he sees as a short-sighted approach to rebuilding the country's infrastructure:

"I don't know whether Senator Obama looked to see what I've been advocating, or not--you have to ask him--but he's doing the right thing," Bloomberg said.

So tune in next Tuesday for another episode of "What Will Bloomberg Do?"

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
