Murdoch: Mayor Bloomberg Called President Obama the Most "Arrogant" Man He Ever Met

Murdoch: Mayor Bloomberg Called President Obama the Most "Arrogant" Man He Ever Met
November 05, 2010 4:26 PM
You may recall that during President Obama’s vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, on August 27 he took in a round of golf at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown, playing golf with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg; Democratic lawyer, business man and éminence grise Vernon Jordan; and White House trip director (and former golf pro) Marvin Nicholson.
The pool report at the time said that "We are told Bloomberg and Obama talked in the clubhouse for about 15 mins about the economy. They then went to the driving range.”
Apparently – at least from a second-hand report – the Obama-Bloomberg convo could have gone better.
In an interview with The Australian Financial Review, conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch says ''Bloomberg said it was a pleasant day. In conversation he put a few ideas … He said it was like verbal ping pong.”
Bloomberg, according to Murdoch, “came back and said 'I never met in my life such an arrogant man'."
A spokesman for Bloomberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Murdoch – the Australian-born founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of News Corporation, which owns conservative media outlets ranging from Fox News Channel to the New York Post – is described by The Age as saying in the interview that President Obama “might make great speeches but doesn't get things done and doesn't listen to anybody.”
Earlier this year, News Corporation gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Association as well as $1 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which largely worked to elect Republicans in the 2010 midterm elections.
The interview was first picked up in the U.S. by The Politico’s Ben Smith.

Bloomberg is setting up for a run for the WH ala Ross Perot
-
:o
-
nuttin to a boss..
-
Well, when you have clowns in the media wondering if he might be too smart to be president ::)
Shit might just go right to your head, haha
-
I like Bloomberg and he's known to put his foot in his mouth on occassion (like the times square bomber comment) but I wouldn't trust anything that Murdoch says and I don't think Bloomberg is likely to make such a comment to someone like Murdoch

we could use the administrations logic and ask if "you have any proof that [He] didnt?" ;D :D ;)
-

Yes because its much more important to have a "cool" POTUS than a competent one

Dear God - are you kidding? Bloomberg is a business giant and has shown great competence in dealing with many problems.

I tend to agree with Straw Man. I think such an exclusive would go to a Bloomberg correspondent before it went to Murdoch. That would be like Dave Thomas dining at McDonalds.

you didnt seem to agree when the obama administration thought it was the responsibility of the person the accused of some ignorant idiotic shit to prove them wrong...
but now you question the source of some info?
hmmmm
wonder why? ;) :D :o ::)

Most people who have dealt with him have said he is beyond arrogant, narcissitic, and often thinks he is the smartest man in the room no matter where he goes when in truth the opposite is is almost invariably the case.
He is a joke. I know plumbers and electricians with more economic sense than Obama
-
It's certainly possible that Bloomberg didn't make those comments, but does any objective person really believe he is not arrogant? This is part of the reason I did not vote for him.

Bloomberg so far hasnt denied it and he is flirting with a third party run for POTUS.
Bloomberg has been against Obama on many many issues like FINREG, Taxes, regulatory uncertainty, ObamaCare, etc.

Woodward interviewed obama at length he said that he got the impression that obama thinks he is always the smartest person in the room.
Almost everyone else has said the same thing of Obama, including Sarkozy and many others.

That is the difference between a grounded, wise person and an arrogant person. My best friend is one of the smartest persons I know. I told him that when he enters any given room he is probably the smartest person in the room, but doesn't act like it; just a friendly, engaging, good listener. Says a lot about him.
Regarding the president, if Woodward said that, it lends more credibility to Bloomberg's alleged comments.

that would be bad. very bad.
obama is going to have 40% of voters automatically. Does anyone doubt this?
Then you'll have the moderate get 30% of the vote, the tea party candidate gets 30% of the vote... and Obama gets another 4 years.
You know... how clinton won in 94 with Perot taking 18% of the total, mostly from Bush? ;)
-

Yeah. Although you have be careful about the rumor mill (or what they call the "coconut wireless" here), someone made a profound statement to me a little while back: hearsay is reputation. You start hearing the same thing from multiple credible sources and it becomes a smoke/fire thing.

It could make the election a toss-up, but wouldn't necessarily guarantee an Obama win.
And keep in mind the only reason Perot "only" got about 19 percent of the vote was he acted like a nut late in the game. Cost him a lot of votes (including mine).

333386 will be happy to illustrate why - thanks to race, white liberal guilt, and govt entitlement checks - Obama is going to get 40% of the vote no matter what.
Since the rest of the country is probably split pretty evenly between moderate conservatives and tea party conservatives, it would give Obama the wun, unfortunately.

I think

Romney I really think is stale at this point.
I think Thune is the sleeper. within the conservative movement and GOP - everyone knows Thune as the Giant Killer.

What makes you think Thune is viable? Haven't heard his name mentioned much. He's not showing up on straw polls. Media isn't really talking about him. From a small state. No money.
I love the clips you have posted of Christie, but I'd like to know more about him, and hear more from him, before really jumping on the bandwagon.
I'm o.k. with Huck.

You tell me:

You tell me:
I've listened to him speak and he sounds good, but so do a lot of people. Takes a whole lot more than that to be a contender. Sometimes luck. The right state. Lots of money.
-
Thune is the sleeper. This guy would utterly decimate, slice, dice, and disembowel obama.
-
I've listened to him speak and he sounds good, but so do a lot of people. Takes a whole lot more than that to be a contender. Sometimes luck. The right state. Lots of money.
He can united all the factions of the GOP easily. pro life - pro-gun, pro business, pro drilling, etc etc.
-
-
at the Values voter summit, Mike Pence beat out Huck. You never know who will emerge. Sometimes the most "viable" candidate ends up being just plain mediocre in the spotlight.
Mccain looked like a confused old man in the debates against Obama. Ron Paul - totally not viable by Hannity and friends - would have looked america in the eye and he would have won over most voters, had he won the nomination.
But, dont worry... you geniuses will hear hannity tell you once again that palin is 'viable' and thune and pence are not, and you'll giftwrap another Obama win.
Again.
-

He'll need lots of money. Not sure what kind of fundraiser he is?

Look it up - he raises money like you can't imagine. He is a Chamber of Commerce type and is well supported by all factions of the GOP. Pro-Gun, Pro-Life, Pro Business, not gaffe prone at all, does not need a teleprompter.
And sadly -
The ladies will vote for him due to his looks.

Found this (below). That's good, but the Republican nominee will hundreds of millions.
South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune raised over $1 million in his first quarter, despite facing no Democratic opposition in his race for reelection this year. That brings Thune's cash-on-hand total to $6.5 million — a huge sum in South Dakota, even for a candidate in a more competitive race than Thune's. The 2012 angle: that money can be rolled over to other federal campaigns, assuming it's not all spent to crush the senator's token opposition.

I have been eying Thune for well over a year now and even put 240 on to this guy.
i think he can clobber obama in the midwest, down south, and pick off a few western states like CO, NV, enough to win the electoral college.
All he has to say is this "Look, we tried Hope & Change, we tried Rock star obama, it did not work, now lets back to old school values thatt he nation is built upon"
DONE - CASE CLOSED - OBAMA GOES HOME.
-
Sorry guys.
But in 1 year, you will all be trying to re-sell the palin turd as the most experienced, professional, intelligent, and "viable" option for voters.
because your hannity and beck will tell you to.
Enjoy the time now... cause you'll later parrot what the tv tells you. I know this because you did it last time. how "viable" did mccain look wandering in front of cameras and hiding the VP nominee from reporters? Oh brother.

I do think the Republican nominee will probably beat Obama in 2012. Not sure Thune is going to be the guy. I guess what I'm not ready to say is he will be a frontrunner for the Republican nomination. He very well could be, but I haven't seen or heard enough to lead me to that conclusion yet. Not talking about his message. Talking about name recognition, money, etc.

When you see the food fight between romney, huck, palin, and newt, and then see THUNE, case closed - i think he gets it.
The only thing that worries me about him is the fire in the belly thing. I know in places like NY, CA, VT, MA, he wont fly, thats cool, but I think he more than anyone can steamroll the marxist obama in in MO, CO, NV, NM, OH, etc.

and mal for all his good qualities is often widely misinformed on topics...
-
im so suprised
So you're saying the multi billionare mayor of NYC (one of the most liberal cities in one of the most liberal states in America), who has his own television and radio network and for at least the next two years is going to have to work with Obama, stood by and allowed someone else to attribute a false and insulting quotation that he made about the President? ::)
Why? Let me guess- Is it because of Sarah Palin, George Bush or maybe this week it's because Pete Rose never really bet on baseball.
Take off the blinders dude. You're living in another universe.

I can only imagine how embarassed Bloomberg was discussing economics with Obama on the golf course that day.

LMAO... it's like Chris Mathews saying "you know, Palin whispered to me that she hates America".... and morons repeating it on message boards without evaluating the source haha...

Murdoch and Bloomberg are friends No 1., Number 2, Bloomberg hates a lot of the obama genda and has said so publicly. Number 3, Bloomberg is saying what almost everyone else who delas with Obama says, and Number 4, Bloomberg has not denied this even though it has been getting aired everywhere.
If he later denies it to save face fine, but if it was a lie, he would have said so by now.

WELL BLOOMBERG IS AN EXPERT ON ARROGANCE.

Okay: President
Mayor
Which one is higher? Arrogance, nahhh, it's called knowing where you stand. Know your role Bloomberg, know your role...

Obama not qualiied to be in the same room as Bloomberg on almost any issue nd would have been wise to take his advice, not act like the arrogant uniformed clubag we all now know our dear leader to be.

Bloomberg commented on this a month ago
On Friday, rumors began swirling after Politico reported that Rupert Murdoch told the Australian Financial Review that Bloomberg told him that he had "never met in my life such an arrogant man" after he and Obama spent a day together playing "verbal ping-pong" on the links.
But Bloomberg said that account doesn't ring a bell.
"I don’t remember the conversation that way,” Bloomberg told reporters at a press conference at City Hall.
"I happen to think he’s a very smart guy," the mayor said of Obama, finally adding, after continued pressing, "I do not think he's arrogant" under his breath.

What else is he going to say?
Bloomberg is on the radio every firday morning in NYC and he often times trashes what obama is doing and stopsjust short of calling him incompetent.

Most people who have dealt with him have said he is beyond arrogant, narcissitic, and often thinks he is the smartest man in the room no matter where he goes when in truth the opposite is is almost invariably the case.

QFT
-
Where is the quote from Bloomberg?
-
This is a view that is apparently shared by a number of people:
Is Obama the smartest person in the room?
Is President Obama the smartest guy in the room?
According to Peter Baker, in his profile of the president last Sunday,
“- ne prominent Democratic lawmaker told me Obama’s problem is that he is not insecure — he always believes he is the smartest person in any room…”
–Peter Baker, The Education of a President, New York Times Magazine, October 17, 2010.

More comments on Obama's arrogance:
October 14, 2010
Obama's Arrogance Starting to Get Noticed
By Jonah Goldberg
‘That's all right, all of you know who I am," President Obama joked last week when the presidential seal fell off his podium during a speech in Pittsburgh.
Even though the incident made headlines for no discernible journalistic reason, it was noteworthy as a succinct example of Obama's arrogance problem. Rather than make a self-deprecating joke, he opted to make a self-inflating one, as if to say that the title mattered less than the man.
The good news is that it's apparently not racist to call Obama arrogant anymore. Not long ago, Keith Olbermann and other gargoyles on the parapets of establishment liberalism insisted that if you were to call attention to the fact that Obama ostentatiously holds himself in very high regard, you were really calling him "uppity," if you know what I mean.
Now, what was once taboo has become undeniable. Even the New Yorker's David Remnick, author of a loving biography of Obama, tells Der Spiegel, "Obama has a considerable ego."
And here's Time's Mark Halperin: "With the exception of core Obama administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusion: The White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters."
Halperin's diagnosis was inevitable, given Obama's conviction that he represented a movement that was larger than politics or even the presidency. After all, this was the man who, as a candidate, descended on Berlin as the leader of a worldwide cause that transcended national borders. And when asked in a debate what his greatest weakness was, he plumbed his soul and answered that he was disorganized. "My desk and my office doesn't look good," he said. When a man runs as a national redeemer and says his biggest failing is a messy desk, that should be a warning sign that he likes himself a bit too much.
Of course, all presidents have healthy egos. You cannot become president, or even think you're qualified to run, if you don't think highly of yourself. Obama's arrogance problem isn't a matter of psychology but of strategy.
When Arkansas Democratic congressman Marion Berry complained that health-care reform felt like a replay of the Hillarycare debacle, Obama explained that the big difference between then and now was "me." In other words, the White House's plan for making everything work out was an unyielding confidence in the power of Obama's own cult of personality. That's why that cult's high priest, David Axelrod, pursued a strategy of greeting every problem as if it were an excuse for Obama to give another big speech.
Now that the strategy has proved catastrophic, the self-pity is pouring out. Joe Biden, in a rare interregnum of lucidity, assailed his own base as whiners. Rahm Emanuel, as he was fleeing for the healthier and more civic-minded political environment of Chicago's backrooms, said, "I want to thank you for being the toughest leader any country could ask for in the toughest times any president has ever faced."
Really? The times have been rough, we can all agree, but if memory serves, the Civil War was no cakewalk either. And that Pearl Harbor thing - not to mention 9/11 - might compete with the miserable economy Obama inherited and then ignored as he pursued his own "transformational" vanity projects.
There's an irony to occupying the Oval Office. When presidents think they're bigger than the job they hold, they shrink in office. When they think they're smaller than the honor that has temporarily been bestowed upon them, they grow into it. Obama has done nothing but shrink.
Last week, the president of the United States attacked Karl Rove by name - twice! - in a speech. He recently begged a crowd of black supporters not to "make me look bad" by staying home from the polls. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he scolded young voters that if they don't vote, it will be proof they "weren't serious in the first place."
It never dawns on him that were it not for the unseriousness of those voters, he might still be a one-term junior senator from Illinois.
"You know, I actually believe my own bull-," Obama told the author of Renegade: The Making of a President, Richard Wolffe.
Exactly. And that's why he's gotten into this mess.

Gov. Jindal's opinion:
November 12, 2010
Jindal Book: Obama An Arrogant Phony
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal uses a new book to portray President Barack Obama as disconnected from the Gulf oil spill, charging that he was more focused on the political aftermath than the actual impact of the crisis.
Jindal recounts a pair of private conversations with the president that paint him as consumed with how his actions were being perceived.
On Obama's first trip to Louisiana after the disaster, the governor describes how the president took him aside on the tarmac after arriving to complain about a letter that Jindal had sent to the administration requesting authorization for food stamps for those who had lost their jobs because of the spill.

The Germans? :o
11/04/2010
The World from Berlin
'Obama Comes Across as Cold, Arrogant and Elitist'
It was a failure of historic proportions. With US President Barack Obama's Democrats having lost control of the House, there seems little hope for progress during his two remaining years, say German commentators. Obama himself, they say, bears much of the blame.
On Tuesday, US President Barack Obama and his Democratic party were issued a stinging defeat in the mid-term elections as the Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives and installed themselves in 22 governor's mansions.
Though the Democrats narrowly were able to keep control of the Senate, the Republicans, who rode the wave of anti-incumbent sentiment and populist anger over the economy into office, now have the power to determine the House's legislative agenda -- and to block Obama proposals. Indeed, Republican leaders in the House have already promised that their first order of business will be to repeal Obama's health care reform -- his signature achievement.
Several German opinion-makers were clear that the election was more of a referendum on the president, who comes across as "cold, arrogant, and elitist," and less of an endorsement of the Republicans and their policies. There is widespread agreement in the editorial pages that Obama failed to make the case for his administration's accomplishments, a fact that he himself has acknowledged.

Huck (Dear God I hope to not have to vote for him)
Romney I really think is stale at this point.
I think Thune is the sleeper. within the conservative movement and GOP - everyone knows Thune as the Giant Killer.
Thune couldn't win PTA president...he's too boring..no charisma

I guess american idol voters like yourself care first and foremost about that type of thing. HOLLA!

Murdoch and Bloomberg are friends No 1., Number 2, Bloomberg hates a lot of the obama genda and has said so publicly. Number 3, Bloomberg is saying what almost everyone else who delas with Obama says, and Number 4, Bloomberg has not denied this even though it has been getting aired everywhere.
If he later denies it to save face fine, but if it was a lie, he would have said so by now.
ALL presidents are arrogant.....I would be too if I was king of the world

Bloomberg commented on this a month ago
On Friday, rumors began swirling after Politico reported that Rupert Murdoch told the Australian Financial Review that Bloomberg told him that he had "never met in my life such an arrogant man" after he and Obama spent a day together playing "verbal ping-pong" on the links.
But Bloomberg said that account doesn't ring a bell.
"I don’t remember the conversation that way,” Bloomberg told reporters at a press conference at City Hall.
"I happen to think he’s a very smart guy," the mayor said of Obama, finally adding, after continued pressing, "I do not think he's arrogant" under his breath.

The amazing thing from the first article is bama playing verbal ping pong w bloomberg on economics. Are you kidding me?
Obama would be best suited to shut his fucking mouth and listen for once in his life.
Obama has tons of advisers who tell him everything that is going on economically in the U.S. and in the entire world everyday......of course he knows more about whats going on economically than Bloomberg......can Obama run a business as well as Bloomberg?..no

Yeah ok Andre - Jake Tapper has far more credibility than your mocha messiah does.

I like Trump because the man has real world experience on the top, on the bottom, building things running things, getting shit done, and always coming out on top.
Your messiah has only a history of abject failure, destruction, lies, manipulations, spin, etc.

you are the first person in the history of the world to declare someone an "abject failure" while making it to the highest position in the world....the President of the United States....
My God you are a windbag!!!

Don't know what this thread is about but I just wanted to note that Bloomberg could buy and sell born with a silver spoon in his mouth Trump probably 20 times over.

agreed....Bloomberg has much much more credibility than Trump for president....Bloomberg actually has executive experience.....Trump would be better off running for mayor of NY....then we could see if he has the chops to be president
