LAS VEGAS (CBSNewYork/AP) — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had harsh words for President Barack Obama during a campaign stop in Las Vegas, saying he has accomplished nothing and will turn the nation more socialist than France if re-elected.
“What do we want to elect, an unsuccessful person? We tried that, OK, we tried a person of no accomplishment,” Giuliani said. “Now let’s try something different, let’s try a man who has actually been successful in life.”
Giuliani told reporters Republican presidential contender Mitt Romneyhas strong convictions, and the health care overhaul he passed as Massachusetts governor isn’t a liability. Giuliani criticized Romney’s health care law last year because it served as a model for the federal health care overhaul that Republicans want repealed.
“I don’t think it matters what the difference is between the two,” Giuliani said of the Massachusetts and federal health care laws. “What matters is the future.”
Giuliani also downplayed comments he made last year suggesting Romney’s shifts on abortion, gay marriage and universal health care could be problematic
