Not Getting It
April 25th, 2011
Michael Bloomberg thinks that Obama will win Republican hearts & minds by showing he cares:
The president’s got to start inviting people over for dinner. He’s got to play golf with them. He has to pick up the phone and call and say, “I know we disagree on this, but I just want to say — I heard it was your wife’s birthday or your kid just got into college.”
Frankly, I think Bloomberg is delusional. The Republicans have made it crystal clear that their primary goal in life is to destroy Obama. It is the pinnacle of naivete to think that Republicans are opposing the president because their relationship isn’t good. His chatting them up won’t make the tiniest bit of difference. Seriously, is Bloomberg even paying attention?
