Citing Climate Change Stance, Bloomberg Endorses Obama 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama has returned to the campaign trail after suspending
events to address the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. On Thursday, Obama
picked up an endorsement from former Republican and now independent New
York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In an op-ed article, Bloomberg wrote
that Obama is best equipped to tackle climate change in light of the
"devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of
the north-east." Bloomberg also cited Obama's support for abortion
rights and same-sex marriage, while noting that Republican challenger
Mitt Romney has "reversed course" after previously holding "sensible
positions."
