Loading ...The Mayor on CNBC “Taking it Under Advisement”
Joe Kernen of CNBC has rocked my awesome meter since APPLE was 30 bucks a share, and he was in top form once again interviewing the Mayor Wednesday on Squawk Box.
Kernen: all right. Mr. Mayor, as far as the race is going at this point, just handicap both sides for us, if you would. I know that you don’t have a addition an axe to grind on either. What are you, unaffiliated? You’re not an independent.
Bloomberg: I’m not a member of any party. Look, i think what you’re seeing is democracy at its best. There’s a half a dozen candidates on both sides of the aisle and the public really has a choice. What the public doesn’t have an opportunity to do, and what you have to do, is to hold the candidates’ feet to the fire and get concrete answers about what they would do about public education, crime in the streets, drugs, what they would do about rebuilding our relationships overseas and trade and energy and all of these different things. Who’s going to pay for social security, who’s going to pay for health care. You want concrete answers of what would you do if you got elected.and then if we could get those kind of answers, then that would be the perfect democracy.
Joe talks to the Mayor about free trade, China, and of course the economy. Interestingly enough, the Mayor indulged much speculation about his intentions(unlike his response to a certain local reporter we know!)~but did pass an opportunity to announce his candidacy, although CNBC viewers are certainly in the pocket for Bloomberg 2008
