“The Post meanwhile praised Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a potential rival to Walker, for saying that “I believe the president loves America.””
Absolute idiot. If he won’t back Rudy all Rubio had to say was “I can’t read the President’s mind but all of his policies are wrong for America ... etc”. But no Rubio had to say he thinks the President loves America. Based on what?
Barack Obama loves America. Based on what?
Barack Obama believes in free enterprise. Based on what?
Barack Obama is a Christian. Based on what?
Barack Obama is a supporter of Israel. Based on what?
"I don't feel I'm in a position to have to answer for everyone in my party who makes a claim. Democrats aren't asked to answer every time Joe Biden says something embarrassing. So I don't know why I should answer every time a Republican does. So I will suffice it to say I believe the president loves America. His ideas are bad."
Unfortunately for Rubio, he walked into the media trap at the end of his statement. The press is looking for one of two things: a Republican saying that Obama loves America, angering the base, or a Republican agreeing with Giulliani so they can keep pushing this non-story for another week.
