Rudy Giuliani: 'I do not believe that the president loves America'
At a private dinner for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), Rudy Giuliani (R) questioned President Obama's patriotism.
"I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America," the former New York mayor said. "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."

What country has left so many young men and women dead abroad to save other countries without taking land? This is not the colonial empire that somehow he has in his hand. I've never felt that from him. I felt that from [George] W. [Bush]. I felt that from [Bill] Clinton. I felt that from every American president, including ones I disagreed with, including [Jimmy] Carter. I don't feel that from President Obama. [Politico]
In an interview after the dinner, Guiliani said that Obama "sees our weaknesses as footnotes to the great things we've done," Politico reports. He also criticized Obama's statements at the National Prayer Breakfast, asking why Obama "can't stand up and say there's a part of Islam that’s sick."
