The decision of the mayor, an ally of the president, was a blow to the White House as it sought to hold trials that were intended in part make a statement about how its handling of justice and terror issues differed from the George W. Bush era.
With opposition to the plan to move the detainees from the Guantanamo Bay detention centre growing in Congress, Mr Obama was counting on the support of New York.
but echoing neighbourhood business groups, Wall Street firms and the real estate industry, Mr Bloomberg said the costs, estimated at $200 million a year, and inconvenience were simply too high for the city to bear.
"It's going to cost an awful lot of money and disturb an awful lot of people," he said. "My hope is that the attorney general and the president decide to change their mind."
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY AFRAID OF?They have frightened the hell out of the shop owners and the people who were there on 911 and told them to remember that day,they hold rallies and protest when we all know who and what is behind these protests. Have they ever thought that the terrorists don't need that day to committ terrorism? Why would they choose the time where they know that the country is more alert.
If they wanted to do something they have had plenty of chances to do something. They told us bush has kept us safe with his policies is there something they didn't tell us like how many people he let into this country and the authorites don't know who or where they are.
If I were to be afraid of anyone it would be the Republicons who,shoot up Holocaust Museums,shoot up their families and anyone else because they can't get their way,set up policies that kill us here in America everyday and they still think it isn't good enough. This whole thing is about protecting bush/cheney and no telling who else.
Look at the news and see where the terrorists are they are on your nightly news and the RepubliCONS are the ones who created many of them..I am terrorized everyday when I have to watch my back,my purse,car,etc..Is this the freedom the Repugs want to continue to give us they are so full of shit and I really can't believe how stupid the people in this country are.
Bush and the republicons told us throughout his eight years how brave American's were and Fox sat there telling these so called terrorists how Bad they are and now we are suppose to be afraid of a little trial in Manhattan..
A lot of the Dems are letting them do it again they have already roped in Feinstein and Shumer, Feinstein who is really a republicon along with her husband who have investments in the war are the first to jump on the bandwagon these silly ass Dems need to be pounded with emails they listen to the Repubs who always have a campaign of writing to them and they really think that they are the majority of the people who think that way.
Dems are thinking about other issues this is how they got away with Massachusetts most of the people who are suppose to be running the Democratic party aren't up to speed on anything and by the time they start to do anything they are usually too late. Just like when they let the teabaggers and the bluedog Baucas and Evan Bayh take over that issue. Wake up America! People in this country really are STUPID!!!
