Moreover, many of what you list were not in our control. Everything I can list was a direct result of bad policy.

Not even close? The "Misery Index" was much higher, and the economy was much worse. Mortgage rates were 20% (take that, Barney Frank!), and the rate of people owning their own home was lower. More people were below the poverty line. All of that was the result of bad economic policy (high taxes, high spending on bad government programs, etc.). Middle class spending power now is easily higher than it was in 1979

Since then, he's flip-flopped and I've learned more about him. I also like & respect Chuck Hagel. I like Mayor Bloomberg a whole lot.

I can understand Hagel; he shares your desire to "redeploy" our military.
Bloomberg is only a nominal Republican because he couldn't get the Democratic or Liberal nomination for the NYC mayoral race... don't tell me you didn't know that?
