Giuliani On Obama: 'He Doesn't Love America'. No, Rudy, Not Like You! (Updated)

I'm sure Scott Walker was applauding on the inside, but he really ought to be apologizing and distancing himself from anyone who makes comments like this.

After all, after the primaries are over they've got to try to find a way to appeal to the entire nation if they have a snowball's chance of getting elected. And I'm guessing this isn't appealing to anyone who has even a scintilla of true patriotism in them.

The former New York mayor, speaking in front of the 2016 Republican presidential contender and about 60 right-leaning business executives and conservative media types, directly challenged Obama’s patriotism, discussing what he called weak foreign policy decisions and questionable public remarks when confronting terrorists.

“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said during the dinner at the 21 Club, a former Prohibition-era speakeasy in midtown Manhattan. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”
With Walker sitting just a few seats away, Giuliani continued by saying that “with all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.”

In an interview after the dinner – Walker aides insisted all of the governor’s comments were off-the-record – Giuliani said he would “eventually” back a Republican presidential candidate. He also elaborated on his criticism of Obama by arguing the president “sees our weaknesses as footnotes to the great things we’ve done.”  READ MORE
