Video: Bloomberg in '04 RNC convention, resoundingly endorsing GW Bush

This is what the video showed from the Republican National Convention:

Republican New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg resoundingly endorsed G.W. Bush, while speaking before the RNC in the convention hall,
Let's remind you, this was in 2004, just as the US war in Iraq was having one of its deadliest years, both for the US and for the civilian population there ...
"The president deserves our support. We are here [the convention hall] to support HIM." --emphasis, Bloomberg's. He continued, "And I am here to support him."

"President Bush is a great Republican leader who has kept his word for New York." --Two years earlier, at the New York State Republican Nominating Committee, 2002.

Click on this line, to get the Thompson2009 Youtube video of mayor Bloomberg's own words, gushing forward, to endorse President George W. Bush.
Appropriately, the video is entitled, "George, Rudy and Mike: So Happy Together," with the Turtles' famous 1960s ditty, "Happy Together," playing in the background.

Pass this video around; Bloomberg definitely endorsed President Bush for re-election to the presidency.

NYC voters: PRIMARY DAY:TOMORROW, 9/15, you have a choice!

Tuesday, September 15, 2009, is primary day in New York City

You do have important choices, voices that are alternatives to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Napoleonic power-trip in NYC schools.

Both William Thompson and Tony Avella are opposing Bloomberg on his education record. I am endorsing Tony Avella for his stronger, more vocal opposition to Bloomberg and Joel Klein's super-control, cynical policies at the Department of Education.
Here's a video of his opposition to charter schools.

And here's video at GOothamSchools, pledging to replace Klein as Schools Chancellor.

FOR PUBLIC ADVOCATE
Bill de Blasio is offering a very well developed plan to involve parents and to dilute Bloomberg's efforts to absolutely shut out parents. He is calling to reform mayoral control.

FOR COMPTROLLER
John Liu and David Weprin are pledging to extend sunshine (openness, "transparency") to the Department of Education budget.
Weprin has pledged to audit the Department of Education. I am endorsing Weprin.
