Brooklyn, NY - Bloomberg Calls for Action on Jobs Fuels Rumors of Presidential Run

Brooklyn, NY - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has criticized the White House, Congress and state leaders for what he calls failed attempts at job creation.

The billionaire mayor delivered a campaign-style speech in Brooklyn on Wednesday. He said leaders at the federal and state levels are just kicking the can down the road and allowing the nation to fall behind.

He said the concept of success is unfairly vilified.

Bloomberg offered vague ideas for ways to get more Americans working, including immigration reform and promoting trade more effectively.

The Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent is occasionally mentioned as a long-shot presidential candidate.
