Giuliani rips Obama and has a cackling good time of it

Giuliani can’t stop chuckling and cackling. He is obviously having a blast laying into Obama. Interestingly, the Secret Service is jamming wireless signals while he speaks. They did this for Bill Clinton in Denver too.

On Obama:
“He worked as a community organizer…” chuckles… “Wha??…” Chuckles again…
(Chants of “ZERO!”)

On Obama voting present on some votes:
He couldn’t gigure out whether to say …yes? Or … no? It was too tough!
He voted “present” (Boos.)
I didn’t know about this “vote present” when I was mayor of NYC. Sarah Palin didn’t have this “vote present” when she was mayor of governor.
For president of the United States it’s not good enough to be “present.” You have to make a decision.

“He’s never had to lead people in crisis. This is not a personal attack….it’s a statement of fact – Barack Obama has never led anything. Nothing. Nada.”

Loud chants of “ZERO!”

He’s actually cackling at this point.

**

“Drill baby drill!” chants again.

“Obama promised to take public financing for his campaign, until he broke his promise. Obama was against wiretapping before he voted for it. When speaking to a pro-Israeli group, Obama favoured an undivided Jerusalem – like I favour and John McCain’s. He favoured an undivided Jerusalem for one day until he changed his mind.”

“I hope for his sake, Joe Biden got that VP thing in writing.”

When Russia invaded Georgia:

“Obama’s first instinct was to create a moral equivalency – that “both sides” should “show restraint.” The same moral equivalency that he has displayed in discussing the Palestinian Authority and the State of Israel.”

“Later, after discussing it with his 300 foreign policy advisors, he changed his position and suggested that the “the UN Security Council,” could find a solution. Apparently, none of his 300 advisors told him that Russia has a veto on any UN action. Finally Obama put out a statement that looked …exactly like John McCain’s three days earlier.”

“Here’s some free advice: Sen. Obama… Next time, just call John McCain.”
[wild applause]

On Palin:

“I’m sorry Barack Obama feels that her home town is not cosmopolitan enough… I’m sorry, Barack, that it’s not flashy enough. Maybe they ‘cling to religion’ there…” [wild applause] .. The first day she became mayor she had more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined…”

He’s talking about her taking on corruption in Alaska: “This is a woman who has no fear. This is a woman who stands up for what is right!”

“With john mccain being a maverick, with his independent spirit… Can you imagine how they will shake up Washington!”

“How dare they question whether Sarah Palin has enough time to be vice president and spent with her children. How dare they do that?!! When do they ever ask a man that question?!!”
