Is Israel the fifty-first state? Some kind of "sister" nation? No? Where, precisely, would President Bloomberg's allegiance reside?
Nothing doing. We already have a nearly full field of candidates who fall over themselves swearing fealty to Israel, which, the last time I checked, is a FOREIGN COUNTRY.
It's splendid that 2% of the population has enough money (that "mania for gold which Cicero mentioned) to sway politics. Good for them. Capitalism at its finest. But the President of the United States ought to put this country first, second and third. Which eliminates virtually all of the candidates running as far as I'm concerned.
