Giuliani: Obama Lacks Executive Skills
Newsmax ^ | 30 May 2014 | By Wanda Carruthers

Posted on 05/30/2014 9:32:57 PM PDT by kingattax

President Barack Obama came into office lacking basic executive skills, and after six years in office has shown he does not have natural leadership capabilities to manage the country, said former Republican Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani.

"He's not cut out to be an executive. He doesn't have either the background and experience or the natural skills of an executive," Giuliani told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Friday. "There is nothing in this man's background to suggest that he could run the most complicated organization in the world."

Giuliani said that when Obama took office, he hoped he would have "the natural talent" to lead effectively, but said the president has since shown "he doesn't have it." The president's temperament was suited, by instinct, to that of a "professor," Giuliani suggested.

the value of of Rudi’s point is that no matter your views / political leanings, the guy shouldn’t be anywhere near the White House. Just imagine if he was an effective manager/executive. The competence argument should be repeated loudly and broadly, in addition to his left field ideology.

Odumbo lacks a hell of a lot more than “executive skills”.

I disagree completely on his problem not being incompetence.

If he were a competent Marxist, he would be succeeding fearfully in implementing his Marxist agenda.

We should be thankful that he is an incompetent Marxist - thus his failures at everything.....so bad, he is even losing some of his fellow Marxists. His narcissism and incompetence thankfully are becoming his most noted traits.

Obama is successfully implementing his Marxist agenda, incrementally piece by piece...

The only thing stopping him is time...

Which thankfully is running out...

When he becomes a true lame duck after the GOP wins the Senate, his EO's will be flying fast and furious...

Do professors read off TelePrompTers these days?

No question he has done remarkable damage.

Imagine how much worse it would be if he were competent?

He’s incompetent at everything. Can’t even give a good speech - only to his rabid brain-washed idolators. Can’t lead - Dems don’t like him tho they love his Marxism. Wimps out on every difficult decision. He can only be a ruthless dictator with his EO’s. Petty, childish, immature, a majority is finally seeing who he really is.

Even some of the Marxist media are finding him impossible.......

But again, my greatest concern isn’t Obama and the damage he has done. It is the electorate that put him in office a 2nd time.

If that doesn’t change - and I think it won’t - we are toast. We now have 2 voting generations of mindless self-centered idiots dumbed down and brainwashed by the government propaganda machines called education and media. And nothing is changing them.......

What’s with all this “professor” stuff? The bum was never as “professor”. He is more like a semi-educated street agitator...which he was.

There never was. But, hey, let's elect him anyways!

Obama had no executive experience whatsoever. To be fair, neither did McCain. This is one reason why I truly believe that serving as a governor should be a prerequisite for the presidency, from either party. Bill Clinton, for all his foibles, at least knew what the hell he was doing.

I did not say that his problem was not incompetence, I said our problem was not incompetence. Our problem is his Marxism which is the root cause of our distress. If he were only incompetent or only narcissistic without being a communist we would not be in the decline we are undeniably experiencing.

No doubt.

Look, both the mainstream media and many Rino Republicans missed the main story in the run-up to the 2008 election and failed to characterize Obama for the communist he was. At that time there was ample evidence of his familial communist associations, the actual card-carrying communism of his mentor, his admission of toadying up to Marxist professors, his Association and advancements through the Saul Alinsky organization, all which should have led any fair-minded reporter or Republican to describe Obama for what he was, a radical socialist at best and a communist at worse.

This was not done and my view is that was not done because of Obama's skin color coupled with his pedigree as a Democrat. Now the mainstream media and Rino Republicans profess surprise at the incompetence of the Obama administration when all the Obama administration has done is fulfill the promise of Obama the radical candidate. If they were to describe his radicalism they leave himself open to the question, "where were you in 2008?" Instead, they focus on his incompetence.

I concede that we will never win the war against the media, but I insist that we keep waging it.

Same for me. I even wrote a long list of what would happen if O was elected the first time, and most have become reality.

I agree. We don’t quit fighting until we are dead.
