Listen to Seth Meyers explain to Rudy Giuliani just how much Obama loves America
On Monday's Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host made it clear he took issue with Rudy Giuliani's comments on President Obama's patriotism, and set him straight in the "Couple Things" segment. First, Meyers stated that of course Obama loved America — you'd have to in order to endure such a stressful job. "Being president is like being a mother, a single mother, and you love your kid but at best they love you 48 percent of the time," he cracked. Meyers shared several other points — and even managed to compare Giuliani to Swimfan — but saved his best insight for the end. "You can believe [the U.S.] is the greatest country on Earth and also believe it can be better," he said. "That's why the National Anthem is 'The Star-Spangled Banner' and not 'Everything is Awesome.'" Watch the clip below. —Catherine Garcia
