[SG.NEWS.YAHOO] Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a leading Republican contender for the White House in 2016, said Saturday he doesn't know whether President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money...
loves his country.
"You should ask the president what he thinks about America," Walker told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named while in Washington for a weekend meeting of the National Governors Association. "I've never asked him so I don't know."
Earlier in the week, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said during a dinner speech, with Walker in attendance, "I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America."
The name of a spade is "spade."
Democrats have assailed Giuliani for questioning Obama's love of country and urged the potential field of Republican presidential candidates to rebuke Giuliani for his comments.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, another possible 2016 candidate, said he didn't think it helps to question the president's patriotism or motives. Giuliani, Pence said, is "a great American" who is "understandably frustrated with a president who lectures us on the Crusades, but seems incapable of calling radical Islamic violence by name."
I agree with Gov. Pence. Re-hashing the patently obvious is really of little help.
