Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Friday continued to dance around controversial comments made by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Asked whether he agreed with Giuliani's contention that President Barack Obama doesn't love America, a remark made at a private dinner for Walker in New York, the governor said, "I don't really know what his opinions are on that one way or another."
“I assume most people in this country love America," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview in Washington, D.C. "And to me I don’t think it’s worth getting into the battle over whether he does or he doesn’t. He can handle that himself. I know I do."
"And I know there are great people in this country who love this country and who ... feel this country’s exceptional and it doesn’t necessarily align by party," he added. "I think there are Republicans and Democrats and plenty of people in between. I’ve never asked the president so I don’t really know what his opinions are on that one way or another.”

Perfect answer!
PULLEEESE! Walker is smart enough to not snap at the bait trolled by a "journoleesta".
All you do is examine the evidence; since obama to my knowledge never said he loves America; so far the evidence reveals that obama hates America.
your thoughts are along the same lines as mine
I have googled Love/ America/ Quotes /Obama and what comes up is:
“Cant I just eat my waffle?” Barrack Obama
The question is not whether or not The One loves America but why he isn’t getting his ass impeached when the evidence is overwhelming he sides with enemies of the USA and has committed to date 12 acts of Treason.
While it transparent to the objective observer that Obama has nothing but antipathy and contempt for America, there is nothing to be gained by saying so if one seeks higher office.
Well, this article IS from the puffington post, so I’d take what they wrote with a grain of salt; will check other sources, as well.
Follow with, “...but if he does love his country, he has an odd way of showing it.”
What’s he need? James Taylor to sing him a song?
What was ‘dancing around’ about his answer?
He said he does not know whether Obama loves this country (which is true)
He said he loves the country ( which is presumably true)
He said Obama can defend himself on the subject ( which is an appropriate statement)
This is nothing but a HuffPo hit pieces - desperately trying to use someone else’s made up controversy to smear Walker.
Does Obama love America?
“You’ll have to ask him. I know I do and I’ll love it even more when he is gone.”
‘Course I couldn’t get elected dishwasher in my own house lol.
Why is it "squishy" to refuse to get drawn into a trap by the media? Walker's opinion on whether or not Obama "loves America" has nothing to do with how effective Walker is as a governor nor how he would perform as President. I really don't care what Walker's opinion on this topic is, and I think he is wise to stay out of that discussion.
Actually, he did, though he worded it slightly differently. When asked about it the first time, he said Giuliani could speak for himself on the subject, and so could Obama.
Huffington Post tries a “gotcha” on Scott Walker. Scott Walker is NOT squishy.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
If I had any doubt as to which, Cruz or Walker, Walker’s response settles it. Everything Cruz says or does agrees with what Guilliani said. Even Guilliani is more conservative than Walker.
However, does he disdain America because of real and imagined sins of its past? Or is it because B. Hussein loathes and despises this country out of principle? I have a few clues. One thing I've noticed since he was re-immaculated in 2013- he no longer stutters. During the 2008 election, his first term, and finally his 2012 re-election, he stuttered and stammered and needed a teleprompter to keep him from being exposed as a beyond-the-fringe, whacked-out, loony, Regressive Progladyke psudo-Fascist colonial-Marxist. Now, when he destroys American jobs with vetoing the Keystone pipeline, not giving Israel information concerning its enemies in the Middle East, his tacit support of ISIS, and his allowing 20 million illegal alien invaders to take American jobs and suck the American Welfare system dry, he feels like he's liberated to be what his whackadoodle-hippy-chick mother, his CPUSA grandparents, his possible real father Frank Marshall Davis, and all his buddies in college wanted him to be- a mole for their hero-nation The USSR who'll bring the glories of Stalin's Worker Paradise to the USA. However, I believe it might be more than this- this is payback for America winning the Cold War. The two most traumatic events in the history of the American Left and Democrat Party, were the Death of Joseph Stalin, and the falling of the Iron Curtain.:
1) When Khruschev made his "Cult of Personality" speech in 1956, this exposed Stalin's USSR not as a Socialist paradise, but an Authoritarian Hell, with Stalin being exposed as a bigger murderer than Hitler. This caused a lot of Communists to either renounce their beliefs, or go deeper into hiding. We didn't see any significant anti-American protests from this time, until the Vietnam war when Leftists like John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Ted Kennedy had us cut and run from Vietnam and Cambodia, causing them to be conquered by Communists and murdering millions in the process.
2) The Berlin wall falling and the fall of the Soviet empire, was a dark day for Democrats and other Leftists. Much like Hitler felt after the 1918 Armistice, B. Hussein felt anger and hatred for his beloved hero-nation USSR furling its flag for the last time on December 31, 1991 (As an aside, I remember calling my dad as the Berlin Wall was being broken and letting him know THAT was the reason he and his friends fought in Vietnam). No doubt he vowed revenge, and in 2008 he got it.
It's too bad that today's Republican Party doesn't work to stop him at every turn- they don't realize how good for business and how much power they could get, simply by opposing the Dog-eating Marxist in the White House. My guess is that they either secretly love Obama more than the Democrats, or that the Hussein White House has pictures of them in com-promisingly passive pictures with goats.
To conclude, Barack Hussein Obama is going to use the last 600 days or so to implement his vision for America...which unsurprisingly resembles his father's Kenya.
This is such an easy one and he’s failing. He’s gotten out-balled by a mayor.
Wrong. He gave the squishy answer.
It’s like asking does Bill Clinton love marital fidelity.
You can take the squishy but politically safe answer and say well how can I know what’s in his mind.
Or you can take a risk and tell the truth.
You’re right. I re-read it and it’s basically ok. Could have been more pointed. Could have been more of a slap in the face of the bootlicker journolisto DNC propagandist.
