New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg castigated the White House and Congress on Wednesday for what he said was a shortsighted economic stimulus package and years of lousy financial management.  “We can’t borrow our way out of this. The jig is up,” Bloomberg said in prepared remarks to be delivered Wednesday evening before the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which is honoring his environmental efforts.

“There’s just one problem: It’s not going to make much of a difference because we’ve already been running huge deficits,” Bloomberg said.

    The country has the flu and Bush wants to hand out one billion band aids. Hey George, band aids don’t fix the flu!

    Please, oh please, bring me a a leader. I wrote Santa Claus for a real leader and he said that he had so many requests for one that they are on back order. Sadly, there was no time line for delivery.

    We need real change. If I am going to vote for real change, then I want someone who understands how to run a business. I want someone who understands the economy. I want someone with leadership experience. I want someone that can build a team made up of the best minds, despite party affiliation, and provide direction for them to fix education, health care, immigration, social security, and the war.
