Does Obama love America?

He ran on a platform to fundamentally change America into some kind of socialist state where the wealth would be redistributed. He’s apologized to the world for America. His policies have destroyed its economy and standing in the world.

So does Obama love America?

Rick Perry was asked this gotcha question by a lib reporter in Iowa yesterday. His response, “You need to ask him. I’m saying, you’re a good reporter, go ask him.”

ABC reported:

Just hours after presidential candidate Rick Perry said that he would be the kind of president who would be “passionate” about America, the Texas governor suggested that President Obama may not share the sentiment.

“I think you want a president who is passionate about America — that’s in love with America,” Perry said during a visit to the Iowa State Fair on Monday.

At a Republican Party event Monday night, a reporter asked Perry whether he was suggesting that President Obama does not love America.

“You need to ask him,” Perry responded. “I’m saying, you’re a good reporter, go ask him”

If Perry keeps this up there will be a wave of support that will make his weaknesses meaningless.

Marxists don't love America.

They love their vision of a Marxist America.

Why has it taken so long for a politician to say this?

A typical stupid “gotcha” question from a lib reporter. And Perry gave the absolutely correct answer, which shows that he can think quickly on his feet.

Great answer.

Only improved if he said: “You reporters are pathetic. Instead of spending so much time kissing Obama’s ass why don’t you ask him a question.”

If he’s suggesting 0 hates America, well, that could be a hate crime: hating on a hater.
I hate to say it but, let’s vote on it.

Great Answer! John McLame would have said (and did say) Oh yes. Obama would make for a fine president.

Finally.
The media always asks Republicans to vouch for Barry instead of asking Barry the question.
And often they want to be PC and polite , so they do.
I remember the media would always ask Republicans if they thought Barry was born in the US.
Or if he was a Muslim.
When they wouldn’t ask Barry.
This is the right answer that all Republicans should adopt.

But of course, the answer (you need to ask him) is interpreted as a suggestion about Obama anyway. The lead was written before the question was even asked.
