Usually, I like Mike B. I very much like him as my mayor, but I think he just lost me here.

from the NYT
"A big expansion of DNA testing, Mr. Bloomberg said, will “help keep the innocent out of jail and the guilty off our streets.” The city lobbied the State Legislature two years ago to expand DNA testing to cover all convicted felons and people convicted of certain misdemeanors.. even those detained at nonviolent political protests"

well, there goes his liberal support if he thinks he's gonna run for pres.

4. I'm glad he said it...
Something to remind Democrats of if he does get in. His true colors are shining through!

7. Mike lost me forever, as well.
His appeal was as a businessperson who could manage an economy out of control while espousing liberal views. This really is a tragedy. So many Democrats in NYC really liked the guy. He's still a great philanthropist. That's some consolation, I guess.

9. Not only is it a violation of civil rights....It's fiscally irresponsible..
Those tests are expensive!

Yep, that's gonna come back to haunt him if he runs. No doubt. Wrong on so many levels.
