NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani went straight for the jugular Wednesday night during a private group dinner here featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by openly questioning whether President Barack Obama “loves America.”

“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.”

I happen to completely agree with Giuliani’s diagnosis.  Particularly in light of Obama’s background and CV, which I delineated here.

That said, Mr Giuliani didn’t back down or retract his statement like most invertebrate GOP members would.  He stood by his guns.  I also completely agree with his decision. There is only one reason for the actions of Barack Hussein Obama: to take this country down, because he believes it to be colonialistic, too strong, too powerful, too big for its own britches.  In Mr Obama’s world, the United States needs to be taken down a notch or three.  He’s just the man to do it.

And yes, Ann Coulter nails the situation, as indicated above.
