Giuliani Keeps Going: Obama's Not As 'Patriotic' As Other Presidents

[DonViejo]

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) on Thursday kept on with an attack he reportedly made on Barack Obama's love for the country, calling the President a "patriot" who just doesn't quite love his nation to the extent Giuliani thinks its chief executive should.

Politico reported that during a private dinner Wednesday night in Manhattan, Giuliani said Obama doesn't "love America" and wasn't "brought up" to love the country in same the way as the former mayor and his conservative audience.

Giuliani also told the dinner crowd that "When I hear the president speak, I don't believe that he expresses the love of America as much as he does criticism of America," according to Fox News. The former mayor was asked to explain that quote Thursday morning on "Fox & Friends."

"I'm not questioning his patriotism. He's a patriot, I'm sure," Giuliani said "What I'm saying is that in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear him say the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things I used to hear Bill Clinton say, about how much he loves America." Giuliani added that he's heard Obama criticize the United States "much more often" than his predecessors.

4. If you really pay attention to what Obama says

I think you will find he is, in fact, very patriotic. But, he does point out things that most Americans should know, BUT DON'T, such as the number of people slaughtered in the name of God and Jesus, how many don't get out and vote during elections, and on and on.
During the Crusades, millions of people were killed because they didn't believe in Jesus.
You know, the descendants STILL don't believe, and never will. The (Islamic) terrorist will fight/kill/harvest organs from those killed by the so called ISIS. (Don't forget, ISIS stands for ISLAMIC STATE FOR IRAQ AND SYRIA. Basically, if you kill ALL OF THE terrorists, there really won't be any more ISLAMIC people left. Wake up, America, while you still can. WE ARE NEAR THE TOP OF THEIR LIST FOR DISTRUCTION!!!

"No matter how you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough.. didn't they search carefully enough?" Giuliani said on NBC's "Today" program.
