Run, Hillary, run?

With speculation brewing about a possible Hillary Clinton run for the presidency in 2016, Mayor Bloomberg today praised her as a shining light in the Obama Administration and called himself a “big fan” of her work as Secretary of State.

“She has worked as hard as anybody can work,” the mayor observed on his weekly WOR radio show.

“I’m not sure I agree with all her policies– some yes, some no. But Hillary Clinton is a class act and has worked over and above what you could ask for somebody to represent the Obama Administration.”

Bloomberg’s comments came during a discussion of his meeting yesterday with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

Like Netanyahu, the mayor urged the US to adopt a harder line towards Iran and its nuclear program.

“You know, one bomb (launched from Iran) could take out that whole country,” Bloomberg said.
