In the middle of the city’s hurricane recovery effort, Mayor Bloomberg yesterday endorsed President Obama for re-election, citing his “history of tackling climate change.”
“One sees climate change as an urgent problem that threatens our planet, one does not,” the mayor wrote in an op-ed piece for his own news organization, referring to Obama and Mitt Romney.
Bloomberg, who is an independent, described Romney as a “good and decent man.”
But the mayor bemoaned Romney’s changes of position on immigration, abortion, health care and illegal guns.
“If the 1994 or 2003 version of Mitt Romney were running for president, I may very well have voted for him,” Bloomberg explained.
