Bloomberg Still Denying Bid, Still Offering Opinion on Campaign Issues

At a press conference at a Harlem school this morning Michael Bloomberg once again was asked, and once again denied that he is planning to run for President.

"I've said this before--you would think that people would get tired of the answer. I am not a candidate for the presidency of the United States," he said.

When I asked Bloomberg the question lawyers tried asking him under oath last week--whether he was "planning to run for president" right now--the mayor didn't answer.

Later, Bloomberg weighed in on one of the issues that is big in the Democratic presidential race right now, saying, "One of the problems with low taxes and low interest rates if you are trying to provide stimulus when they're already low, cutting them probably won't do very much for you. I’m not suggesting you should have high taxes or high interest rates, but if interest rates and taxes are very low, it makes stimulating an economy much more difficult, much more of a challenge.”
