We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city.

It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.
Michael Bloomberg
I think it's a sign that the establishment is going to have to change. For too long they never thought about the average person, because the average person is not organized.
Michael Bloomberg
We have an energy policy - we're transferring our wealth to overseas to a bunch of countries that don't have the same values as us. In some cases, they're using our money to finance terrorism against us.

[Jeb Bush] could, as I describe it, run the railroad.[John] Kasich could run the railroad. Hillary Clinton can run the railroad. Running the railroad is the most important thing. You have got 4 million employees you've got to make the system work, and it doesn't work very well.
