And he seemed a bit annoyed at not having gotten advance word about it. "I just saw on the blogs this morning he was coming so I haven't talked to anyone in the White House," an angry Bloomberg told reporters.
As it happens, Bloomberg has an Earth Day event scheduled at the same time as Obama's speech.
The whole thing suggests that City Hall wasn't given a heads-up about the visit, which could be topical.
Generally, the Bloomberg and Obama administrations have had a cordial relationship.
