Mayor Bloomberg on the Debate

Mayor Bloomberg on the Debate The Gothamist reports
In last night's Presidential debate Governor Romney and President Obama were asked about gun control, specifically keeping assault weapons out of the hands of criminals. And in case you were curious, Mayor Bloomberg—who really, really hates guns—was not amused by either candidates answers. At all. "We don't need more talk," he said of Obama's call for more discussion with the American people on the subject of gun control. "We need some leadership." 
 "I think number one it is unfortunate that it required an outraged member of the public and not the national press core" to "force the candidates to answer the question" said Bloomberg—who has been spending a lot to try and make guns a part of this election—before tearing into the candidates. According to Hizzoner what we got last night was a "a perfect example of obfuscation and very little honesty." 
"One candidate has had four years to do something and hasn't. And the other candidate says he won't even do what he once did!"
I wonder if Bloomberg has ever heard the theory that Obama is just waiting for his second term to take action.
