President Obama has returned to the campaign trail after suspending events to address the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. On Thursday, Obama picked up an endorsement from former Republican and now independent New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In an op-ed article, Bloomberg wrote that Obama is best equipped to tackle climate change in light of the “devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the north-east.” Bloomberg also cited Obama’s support for abortion rights and same-sex marriage, while noting that Republican challenger Mitt Romney has “reversed course” after previously holding “sensible positions.”
