Ouch… (Daily Caller) – Despite a concerted effort to portray himself as an unashamed centrist, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg faces drastically low approval ratings from Republicans, Democrats and independents alike, a new poll suggests. According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), Bloomberg received just a 19 percent approval rating in a national survey, a number that sinks to 12 percent among Republicans. Only 24 percent of Democrats have a positive view of the three-term mayor . Nearly 40 percent view him unfavorably on a national level, a gap so wide that it makes him one of the least popular possible contenders for the presidency in 2012, said PPP Director Tom Jensen. “That…favorability spread makes him more unpopular than Barack Obama, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and even Sarah Palin,” Jensen said, adding that it “places him slightly ahead of only Newt Gingrich.”

Don’t worry, the Partier-In-Chief will somehow manage to squeeze in a few hours of work… (The Hill) — President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have a packed social schedule this week, with two major galas and a reception for college athletes. On Monday evening, the President will welcome collegiate star athletes to the White House for a reception at 5:45 p.m. The annual event, first held by former President George W. Bush, recognizes outstanding student athletes in more than a dozen sports, including field-hockey, lacrosse, and volleyball. Neither of Obama’s alma maters, Columbia University and Harvard University, made the grade. On Wednesday the First Couple will don black tie for the annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, one of the more entertaining political galas of the Washington fall season. A number of entertainers are being honored with awards, including Eva Longoria Parker, five-time Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, and musician Sheila E. Also participating in the festivities will be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Hopefully the Obamas get some rest Thursday or Friday, because they will be back in formalwear on Saturday night for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s (CBCF) annual Phoenix Awards dinner. The dinner will mark the culmiantion of the foundation’s 40th Annual Legislative Conference.

When the amazing is predictable: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says it would be un-American to investigate a mosque that is planned for construction near where the World Trade Center once stood. I’m listening hard for his condemnation of Nancy Pelosi’s call to investigate the mosque’s opponents, but I can’t hear it over all these damned crickets. Thanks to Dana.
