Rudy Giuliani: My Bluntness Overshadowed My Message(I cannot read President Obama’s mind or heart)
WSJ ^ | Feb. 22, 2015 | Rudolph Giuliani

Posted on 02/23/2015 8:03:09 PM PST by sickoflibs

There has been no shortage of news coverage—and criticism—regarding comments I made about President Obama at a political gathering last week in New York. My blunt language suggesting that the president doesn’t love America notwithstanding, I didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart. My intended focus really was the effect his words and his actions have on the morale of the country, and how that effect may damage his performance. Let me explain. (clip)........

Obviously, I cannot read President Obama’s mind or heart, and to the extent that my words suggested otherwise, it was not my intention. When asked last week whether I thought the president was a patriot, I said I did, and would repeat that. I bear him no ill will, and in fact think that his personal journey is inspiring and a testament to much of what makes this country great.

I hope and pray that President Obama can rise to the occasion and underscore America’s greatness as our history and values merit. If he does so, I will be the first to applaud him. But I can only be disheartened when I hear him claim, as he did last August, that our response to 9/11 betrayed the ideals of this country. When he interjected that “we tortured some folks,” he undermined those who managed successfully to protect us from further attack.

RE:”I don’t care a rats a$$ about 2016. I care about what the quislings in the GOP do NOW! So far, I still have a 1,000 batting average.”

You have NOTHING to worry about with Bohner.
He has balls of steel.
Now that the GOP has the Senate nothing Obama wants is getting past him.

The Dems made their greatest mistake getting him mad,
they have awoke a sleeping giant.,

She looks kissable in this one:

I love her Kelly file interviews, 'the terrorists just want jobs'

A live performance of “Matlock”?

Wow. That gives a great idea, "Matlock: On Ice!".
