Even though Mayor Bloomberg has repeatedly stated that he'll focus on philanthropy after his third mayoral term, the Daily News' Adam Lisberg writes that Bloomberg "had a taste of" a presidential aspirations in 2008 and "He liked the flavor." Plus, one source says "everyone" thinks the billionaire is eyeing a 2012 run, "Otherwise [former Deputy Mayor Kevin] Sheekey wouldn't have gone to Bloomberg L.P. Sheekey was behind Bloomberg's 2008 chatter, and Lisberg explains that Bloomberg LP "bosses would be lenient if he needed some time to play politics." Earlier this year, Bloomberg shifted his money management under a new firm he was starting, which the Times said could "fuel speculation about his political ambitions: he is considered a potential candidate in the presidential campaign of 2012."
