Former mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared on Good Day, New York this morning, and immediately Rosanna Scotto asked him if it wasn't a blessing in disguise that he's not president, given how crappy everything seems to be right now. Giuliani hastily said, "You don't look at it that way," and spoke of the honor of serving the country. He also called Obama "very nice guy" and that after an election, everyone "becomes an American again" (as opposed to being partisan) and that he's rooting for him. He demurred on the 2010 question, pointing out that there are lots of things happening before then—like the 2009 mayoral election—and said that starting a campaign now, with the economy so terrible, wasn't a great idea. As for term limits, Giuliani (who only mentioned September 11th once!) said that he supported Mayor Bloomberg and think he's the man for the job.
