With Katie Couric drawing him out, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed the Times Square car bombing was likely “homegrown” as he proceeded, in an interview excerpt run on Monday's CBS Evening News, to speculate it could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Could be “anything,” but the first thing Bloomberg thinks of are those who don't like ObamaCare, presumably conservatives or Tea Party activists. 

From part of Couric's interview with the mayor aired on the Monday, May 3 CBS Evening News:

KATIE COURIC: Law enforcement officials don't know who left the Nissan Pathfinder behind, but, at this point, the mayor believes the suspect acted alone.

MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: If I had to guess -- 25 cents -- this would be exactly that, somebody-

COURIC: A home-grown?

BLOOMBERG: Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.

Hey , Dumbass Bloatberg. They are now looking at a person that may have traveled to Pakistan, but is a US  citizen.  That sounds more like a lefty sympathizer than someone associated with the TEA Party movement.

Sounds like someone needs to tell him that the guy who bought the car off Craigslist has been described as "Hispanic" or "Middle Eastern".

What a  :censored: moron

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

He's really not saying it was that, he was just saying he thought it was probably for some totally off-the-wall reason that would only make sense to the perp, like the Unabomber case.  Events since make it appear to be more likely an amateur jihadist, though, as we know today.

Not that he isn't a huge blowhard who depends on the fact that NYC has more tools per square foot than a Craftsman warehouse.
