Former mayor Rudy Giuliani was in New Hampshire last night, speaking at a Manchester Republican fundraiser and, surprise, surprise, criticizing President Obama. According to Concord Monitor, the Mayor of 9/11 had a field day calling Obama's foreign policy actions weak, noting that when France proposed instituting a no-fly zone, "Our president, the leader of the free world, said, 'A what? That's hard! A no fly zone is r-r-r-really hard!' Can we stand two more years of this? We have to. Can we stand six more of this? We don't have to. It's up to you, and it's up to me. It's up to the Republican Party.... This president has been a failure in just about everything he's done."
Giuliani continued, "Did it ever occur to (Obama) that every day he spent to make a decision, that people were dying? Gadhafi gets a week to slaughter his people." Then he joked, "I'm going to say something I'll deny ever saying: Hillary Clinton would've been better." However, he did refudiate the birthers, "[Obama's] born in the United States, I don't see any real question about that. And even if some people have some doubts in the back of their minds it's really too late and futile. ... We have so many more important things to talk about."
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas told the Union Leader, "Seeing him reminds me that this is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I'll never forget watching TV and seeing the mayor telling everybody that it's going to be better."
America's Mayor also discussed his failings in 2008, with his disastrous campaign and how he didn't head to New Hampshire as much as he should have, "I would say lessons learned from last time, and I’ve given this advice to some of the potential candidates. You have to think of it as a very major primary. Think of it as a major commitment of time and effort and focus more on that and less on national campaigning." And if you believe "sources," Rudy is totally thinking about running in 2012.
