Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire media owner and former New York mayor, has stated for the first time that he is considering a run for US president, a move that would dramatically reshape the 2016 race for the White House.

Speaking to the Financial Times, the founder of the eponymous financial information group criticised the quality of the debate in the presidential race. He said that he was “looking at all the options” when asked whether he was considering putting his name forward.

“I find the level of discourse and discussion distressingly banal and an outrage and an insult to the voters,” Mr Bloomberg said in an interview, before adding that the US public deserved “a lot better”.

SNORE: Jeb Bush takes step toward 2016 run
By Cameron Joseph

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Tuesday announced he plans to “actively explore” a run for the White House in 2016.

Bush said in a Facebook post that he intends to create a new leadership PAC in January “that will help me facilitate conversations with citizens across America to discuss the most critical challenges facing our exceptional nation.”

Trying, and failing, to come up with a better example of American stagnation than a Bush/Clinton 2016 race.

Unlike some I have great respect for the Bush family, especially W, but as for W’s policy ideas I didn’t like, Jeb embraces them on steroids

Jeb Bush announces and will do a fine job, just like Presidents Dole, McCain, and Romney.

If we have to live through Clinton-Bush again, can we at least get the ’90s economy too?
