Rudy Giuliani on Obama's Response to BP Oil Spill: "If You Taught Leadership 101 This Would Be an Example of Exactly NOT What to Do" (Video)

“If you taught Leadership 101 this would be an example of Exactly NOT what to do.”
Rudy Giuliani slammed Barack Obama’s disgraceful handling of the BP oil spill crisis.
Rudy was on with Hannity tonight:
Rudy on Obama’s lack of leadership:
Sean Hannity: How would you rate the president’s handling of the Gulf oil spill crisis?
Rudy Giuliani: It couldn’t be worse. This would be an example if you taught Leadership 101 of Exactly NOT what to do. Minimize it at first. Two days after or three days after it happened, go on vacation. He’s been on vacation more often than by far he’s been to Louisiana… The reality is the Administration has made every mistake it could possibly make right down to the criminal investigation of BP… And, if they’re being criminally investigated then why are we allowing them to do it? If we got a bunch of criminals doing it then why are we allowing them to do it?

What was a bigger mess..?
9-11 or the Gulf spill ?
Who got right to work sooner…?
G-Bush or Barack Obama…?
The question answers itself.
Mike commented:
Actually, 9-11 was a bigger mess. Fortunately, we had a leader then.
It’s the reaction after the 2 different, but unforeseen events that defines the leadership, or lack thereof, between the two.
Mr. Bush led. Mr. Obama has cast blame and looked for scrapegoats.

President Giuliani would’ve sounded so much better than president oba mao. Why did Rudy so goof up his run for the presidency in 2008? How did he allow himself to get beat by a guy that was only pretending to run for the presidency? The 2008 election was an election that needed the Republican candidate to come out with both barrels blazing, and Rudy would’ve done just that. Instead, we somehow ended up with somnambulistic McCain.
myohmy commented:
Rudy Guiliani nailed it. Of course, criminal investigation will be just a circus show that “Obama cares”. After the circus end, BP will be scathe free.
Anna commented:
If Rudy were a true patriot, he would run for office in New York–where we need him! He gets in races then jumps out when things get hot. I really like him but we could use his star power in New York!
Adirondack Patriot commented:
Nothing like going to a Unified Command meeting and one of the Unified Commanders tells the other Unified Commander that they are going to prosecute them criminally.
You can expect real cooperation then. No chilling affect on cooperation.
JorgXMcKie commented:
You begin to wonder how often one can vote “Present” before it gets stale.
Opus #6 commented:
JR, I have had that bee in my bonnet as well. What on EARTH was Giuliani thinking when he sat out the early primaries. I can only conclude that he didn’t want to be president very much. Sad for us. He showed good leadership after 9/11 and he makes sense now.
gus commented:
Did anyone see Jug Ears speech at Carnegie Mellon today?
He’s cracking. He’s angry like only a narcissist can be. Someone has told him he is a jug eared loser and it’s dawning on him that we don’t buy his SCAM.
He’s cracking.
gus commented:
Giuliani would make a GREAT A.G.
or Homeland Security chief.
Obama is finished.
Anna commented:
PLEASE oh PLEASE let Obama be finished!
Callipygian1 commented:
We told them so.
Lisa G in NZ commented:
BHO is doing exactly what his handlers want. Let the oil gush gush gush… get crap and tax passed… voila, no more oil for USA = world domination by … oligarchy types
read about it at Reuters -

Your challenge: find the lies and propaganda in the Reuters story
p.s. remember always watch what Obumbles left hand is doing while the other is doing anthing resembling leadership
higgins1990 commented:
Obama never took Leadership 101. And Obama isn’t a leader. What a tragedy that only now people are starting to figure this out.
Chisum commented:
Speaking of leaders. OMG.

We need more of this.
Sojourner commented:
It’s really a toss up as to which is more toxic.. Obama or the Gulf.
Simon Lao commented:
It is becoming obvious now that Obama is emotionally disturbed in some fashion. Day by day this persons true nature is becoming obvious. In coming weeks and months the MSM will get around to pointing out that Obama has a personality disorder. A form of mental illness. Already you see Dowd, Rich and a few other Obama toadies gently pointing out what is glaringly clear. Obama’s inappropriate personal response to this calamity points to a deep illness of the mind. When will a MSM outlet make this point explicit ? I say quite soon. Its too good a story.
Robert commented:
We knew this about Obama. What it is really showing is the perfidy of the media and the rest of the Democrats.
They are not what they claim to be, they are traitors to the Constitutional Republic and deserve everlasting scorn and humiliation.
Opaobie commented:
Finally! A pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, Conserva….huh, he isn’t? No wonder his run for the presidency imploded.
Me commented:
I read a piece not long ago that Rudy fizzled in the presidential race because he was happiest (or most comfortable?) running a city than a country, and it obviously showed in his candidacy.
And that’s OK. Rudy is an NYC homeboy, and many love him for it. I agree with one poster above–Come home to NYC, Rudy! They need you!

Can’t make an omelette without cracking an egg, and this one is cracking itself.
Can we bring Bush back long enough to stop the damn oil gusher?
malclave commented:
But the country didn’t vote for leadership.
We (voters in general, not myself or any particular persons here) wanted Change We Can Believe In. And Hope. And The First Black President. And various other platitudes.
But leadership? Did anyone, even the people pushing the meme, really believe that running a campaign was sufficient leadership experience?
zhombre commented:
During the Bush years, people were fond of saying ‘worst president ever.’ They were one President early in saying that.
Babsy commented:
#20: The Gulf will recover. The Loser-In-Chief should resign and pose for a bronze bust entitled ‘Community Dis-Organizer’.
mike191 commented:
Paging David Brooks: The person whose pants crease is an illusion to the incompetence of this president.Moreover,you and your media elites kept on pushing the narrative, rather the truth, about person and look at the results to this Nation,today.For every imbrogilo this Administration finds itself in ,you can not print the truth only some banal spin.
penalcolony commented:
Rudy’s “leadership” would have consisted of maximum photo-ops for the Emperor Rodolfo, while putting Bernie Kerik in charge of the actual work.
Lina Inverse commented:
Giuliani was delusional to think that someone as anti-gun as himself had a chance of winning either the primary or the election. Even Obama became less anti-gun than Giuliani once he started running for President.
Iconoclast commented:
Rudy the Red had his moment in history in the wake of the 9-11 murders. Yes, he proved he can lead in a crisis. So can most Republicans, even those (like Rudy) who are dimocrap lite. He definitely has the number on 0b0z0 – I don’t believe any freely-elected leader in history has demonstrated such a vile combination of ineptitude, megalomania, cowardice and shallow hubris. I would suggest one would have to reach back at least to King George III, and possibly King John (he of the Magna Carta) to find the equivalent failure. Even Marie Antoinette was not as arrogant as as this babbling bloviator. We cannot wait for 2012; this cancer must be excised with all dispatch.
Swen Swenson commented:
We desperately need to know what happened to cause the BP spill so that it doesn’t happen ever again. For that we need BP, their employees, and contractors to be honest and up-front about the events surrounding the disaster. With that in mind, threatening those involved with civil and criminal penalties is some stupid s**t indeed. Now instead of answers we’re going to have people invoking their 5th amendment privilege. Great job Barry!
Borg commented:
A criminal investigation needs to be conducted on the current white house occupant – it’s called impeachment. Unfortunately we have the most corrupted Congress in U.S. history so we all know they won’t do the right thing.
