Of course nobody but this creep and his 'associates' truly know who he hates or doesn't, but the mere fact that he takes the opportunity of a newspaper interview to take a shot at the President begs the question of why, considering all of the press pertaining to wiretapping and spying, would he want to risk bringing MORE heat upon himself.....particularly somebody like this who has a reputation for diplomacy....this isn't terribly 'diplomatic,' is it?
One possible reason is that he's feeling a great deal of heat from the Feds right now, and it's occupying his mind quite a bit. Why even say it if he didn't feel that way? At any rate, I would suggest that having a goon like this hate you is a heck of a compliment.....if President' Bush's anticrime initiatives were ineffective, this guy would probably be in love the the President and say so.
Jimmy Carter was breathtakingly weak on crime and the scumbags love him....
The only major mobster who was a Republican was Al Capone. Joseph Gambino, Paul Castellano, John Gotti, Tony Acardo, Nicky Scarfo and Sam Giancana were all DEMOCRATS!
