Bloomberg acts like a man with options

When Michael Bloomberg sat down with Tom Brokaw to discuss the Wall Street crisis on Sunday’s "Meet the Press," he did so as a lame duck, a 66-year-old politician not running for office this year and barred from seeking a third mayoral term next year. At least he’s supposed to be a lame duck. Even though there’s little more than a year left in his mayoral tenure, Bloomberg is only becoming more vital to the political scene, as opposed to polishing his legacy and slowly fading from relevance like most lame ducks do.
