The Issue: Reports that Mayor Bloomberg urged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run for mayor.
***
The lord mayor of New York City wanted Hillary Clinton to run for mayor (“Hill & Mike Both Have a Motive,” Michael Goodwin, Dec. 5).
I’d like to remind His Highness about his line of succession.
We staged a revolution so we wouldn’t have to submit to the whims of royalty.
Unfortunately, it seems that the mayor and many people in this country have forgotten their history.

Mayor Bloomberg thinks that Clinton would be a perfect fit for New York since she possesses great problem-solving skills.
Let’s review what has happened in the world since Clinton has taken the stage in the Obama administration.
North Korea is launching long-range missiles. Iran is closer than ever to making nuclear weapons.
She supported overthrowing an ally in Egypt, only to have an Islamic extremist dictator take over. She supported overthrowing the leader of Libya, only to have our ambassador assassinated.
Israel and the Palestinians were on the verge of a bloodbath.
Not bad, Hillary. Great call, Mike.
