| Description | After a gunman killed a dozen people and injured scores more at a movie theater in suburban Colorado last night, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared that he’s had enough. And although both President Barack Obama and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney issued statements offering condolences for the victims’ families, the mayor sharply criticized them for not offering specific policy proposals to deal with the fundamental issue at hand.
“You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it’s time that the two people who want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country,” Mr. Bloomberg said on his weekly appearance on John Gambling’s radio show this morning. “And everybody always says, ‘Isn’t it tragic,’ and you know, we look for was the guy, as you said, maybe trying to recreate Batman. I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it’s just got to stop. And instead of the two people – President Obama and Governor Romney – talking in broad things about they want to make the world a better place, okay, tell us how.” |
