Giuliani Is In New Hampshire, Comparing Obama To Carter

Giuliani in June (AP)

Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of NYC and lifetime mayor of 9/11, is in New Hampshire to consider a 2012 presidential run. He told the AP what he thinks of the current crop of contenders, "These are a lot of qualified people. Do they have a good chance of winning? I don't know the answer to that."

The AP reporter, Steve Peoples, just Tweeted, "Giuliani repeatedly compares Obama to Jimmy Carter in first NH stop: 'Can you imagine four more years under Jimmy Carter?'" What, no props for killing Osama bin Laden?

Earlier this week, the NY Post spoke to the ex-chairman of the NH Republican Party, who said, "A business associate of Rudy's told me he's not running. I think he just likes the attention."

Carter was nowhere near as bad as Reagan or the Bushes that followed.

After doing so badly in the last primary , what makes him think his opinion means anything?

Rudy is playing too much stick ball. Carter did not get the hostages home during his term.If he had ,Reagan would have lost. The Republicans are there own worst opponent.( Bob Dole 3 times ? really)
