Certainly my choice for Man of the Year. He would rather be the Mayor of New York, than the President of The United States. New York's population main complaint "He is too tough on NYC, Law Enforcement, doing business, etc" Of course, that is why NYC remains the "Premiere City in the World" Bloomberg through his Bloomberg Philanthropies Foundation, donated and/or pledged $240 million in 2005, $60 million in 2006, $47 million in 2007, $150 million in 2009, $332 million in 2010 and $311 million in 2011. 2011 recipients include the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; World Lung Foundation and the World Health Organization.
