Why would Giuliani be a good president? Why would he be a bad president? Explain?

As a NYC resident, Giuliani was a very effective mayor.  Just look at the dramatic drop in crime since his administration took office.  NYC is one of the safest cities in the nation.  His leadership during 9/11 was extraordinary.  As a person who was standing in front of the World Trade Center when the attack took place--I know how orderly NYC was and how effective the local government was under Rudy.  (The federal response, as with the Katrina fiasco, was weak--but it wasn't as bad as the response in Louisiana partly because of local leadership--and our US Senators advocating so strongly).  Rudy was also very effective in getting rid of the mob.  I don't believe that he would be a bad president in the least.

Because there aren't any good candidates.  You don't get past the local level of politics without having a few skeletons in your closet.  Politics are too corrupt these days.

A good President should be corrupt, credulous, in bed with various special interests, and easy to bribe.  Otherwise he will make his own decisions on how the country should be run, which is a bad thing, considering most of the people we've had in that office.

Not many think he is good. \n\nHe isn't malicious he is just stupid.

Giuliani did wonders as mayor of NYC.  He cleared out the mob before becoming mayor (he did so by conceiving RICO laws)--and reduced the crime rate in NYC significantly.  NYC was once a very dangerous & dirty city--and now it is remarkably clean and one of the safest cities in the nation.  Prior to Guiliani, NYC was depopulating. . .it now has more that 8.2 million people--(people who really love living there).  I can never forget his excellent leadership on 9/11.  I certainly felt more safe with him then from the anemic & disorganized federal response.  For those who comment that Giuliani would upset the conservative base of the Republican party. . .that's not such a bad idea.  The party is much bigger than it's vocal far right--and I'm confident that it is rather sick of being hijacked to the extreme.  Giuliani would be effective in doing great things for the country--and in bring the party back from the extreme edge.

Good or honorable unfortunately is irrelevant when it comes to politics. The question is has he actually done what he said he would do or not.\nHe said we'd get a tax check: I did\nHe said he'd wage war on terrorists: he is\nHe said he was anti abortion: he is\nAnyone know of something he said he would do that he didn't?\nJust a thought

he's doing a an ok job. We could have had a better president. He was the best choice at the time of the election.

Sorry hun, but this guy doesn't have a clue.  He’s barely allowed to speak in front of people, and very rarely to the press for a reason.  The reason?  He’s a completely incompetent dumbass.  Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, has he actually accomplished correctly since he came into office.\n\nAnd the sad thing is is that he's complete justified because he isn't actually smart enough to not believe in all of his people telling him that he's right.  He truely is the king with no cloths on.\n\nPS Don't you love people who insult others for blaming a sitting president for problems he made when you know damn well they still blame Clinton for anything that they can get away with?

I wouldn't go have a beer with the guy, but I respect what he's done so far. It's a tough job that most people wouldn't want, and he could have done worse.  He's had a tough road from day one with the 2000 elections, 9/11, then the Iraq war.  \n\nI think he gets a bad rap because he's not as polished as most politicians.  I don't agree with some of his policies (religion, gays, etc), but overall I think he is a patriot with our best intentions in mind.\n\nThe bottom line:  I like him, and I respect the job he's done.

Well there isn't exactly a bumper crop of good candidates on either side. But if it comes down to it, I would love to see Hitlery and Condi go at it. (My vote would go to Condi). \n\nI try really hard to vote for the person and not the party, but it just seems that Democrats in this day and age are a bunch of whiny politically correct wimps. \n\nI pray that Condi runs-I pray that McCain doesn't. I don't think there is a viable democrat out there, save for Lieberman, and he is going to get kicked out of the Donkey party-mark my words.

He is the most promising politician in America, and eventually he is going to run for president. The case for running now It's just seems that it may not be the right time but then again it may be the best chance he will ever get. He needs at least a full Senate term before he is taken seriously but I think he should take his chances and run.

Lol I love your question man. To tell you the truth I asked myself the same thing. And I think he may pass off for stupid. I think he's just not fit to be president and that his advisors weren't helpful to improve that.

LOL Please, only people who think he's a good president are hard core republicans.\n\nDont get be wrong, Im solidly middle of the road on most issues, i support our millitary 100%. I think Bush needs beter advisers, cause I dont think he's got the right stuff to be the Top man. Partly politics is bad for this country, that goes for Democrates, Commies, Libratarians or what ever. \n\nI'm all for some of the things George W has done, I just think he did a poor job on almost everything he's got involved in.

Some things I agree on, others I disagree. Other than that, I don't really care. People in power can try to please everyone, but that rarely works. Plus, I don't think he's that bad. Blame the media for all the negative news since its usually "the juicy stuff is the bad news".
