Rudy Giuliani used the metaphor of a doctor performing an operation when discussing polls showing Mitt Romney is seen as less likable than President Obama on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning.
This reminds me of, you know, going to a surgeon, right? If I’ve got a terrible cancer or something to be operated on, when I had to be operated on for prostate cancer, I didn’t go to the nicest doctor, I went to the best doctor. The guy could have a great personality and tell jokes [and he] put the knife in the wrong way. On the other hand, if he’s a great doctor, that’s my guy. Now, Mitt Romney, this is overdone. Mitt Romney’s a nice guy, a good guy and he’s just as personable. I know both of them. I know Mitt better, but I know the president. Both are very nice men. President Obama is not nicer than Mitt Romney or vice-versa.
Giuliani, who was once Romney’s rival for the presidential nomination four years ago, endorsed Romney on Monday. Recent polls have shown Romney lagging behind the president when it comes to personal attributes like likeability.
