Giuliani: Nation lacks strong leadership

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, in an indirect swipe at President Bush, said Thursday the overwhelming attitude that the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction reflects a lack of leadership.

The nation’s bleak mood was evident in the most recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll in which only 21 percent said they believe things in the U.S. are heading in the right direction, the worst mark since the AP-Ipsos poll began in December 2003.

Speaking at a Flag Day rally in Wilmington, Del., Giuliani told more than 200 supporters: “What we’re lacking is strong, aggressive, bold leadership like we had with Ronald Reagan.”

The same AP-Ipsos poll found public approval with the job Bush is doing at 32 percent, matching an all-time low.

Rudy is RIGHT.

Is this a swipe at President Bush?

You betcha - as Rudy distances himself from the President and his style/lack of leadership which is sinking the GOP.
