Joe Biden isn't the only one fed up with Democrats howling about President Obama's tax cut deal with the GOP—Michael Bloomberg today chimed right in, telling Obama he should tell his party faithful to "Suck it up." “This is the best I can do," said Bloomberg, according to Politico. "Suck it up, and let’s get on together. We have a lot of other things we can do together. This is not the only tough vote."

Bloomberg also put to rest any rumors of 2012 presidential aspirations: "No way, no how," Hizzoner told Meet the Press. “I’ve got a great job. I am going to speak out on those things that affect New York City. That’s my job.” (More Election 2012 stories.)
