I have, and I've admired what he's done, especially with respect to the teachers' union. Still, now is not the time to stand on the sidelines. My guess is that anyone with more than two neurons still firing in their brain agrees with Rudy, including a bunch of GOP (and, deep in their dark souls, a few Democrat) politicians, but lack the courage to come forth in Rudy's defense. If you believe in judging a man by his actions rather than his words, Obozo does NOT support this country nor the beliefs that made it strong.

Don’t buy into the false assumption that this question was something other than a ‘gotcha’ question.

Walker recognized it for what it was, a question meant to trap him so they could berate him about it for weeks or even months over his answer.

Here is more from the WP article which explains why his non-answer was the correct one. Notice his dig at the reporter with a reference to a double standard.

On Saturday, Walker suggested that he is being held to a different standard than some Democrats. Citing Teamsters President James Hoffa’s criticism of the tea party movement at an Obama rally in 2011, Walker wondered why the president has also not been asked by reporters about controversial comments made by figures who are prominent on the left.

“Was it Jimmy Hoffa that ripped on the tea party and called them unpatriotic, and the president was standing there and nobody asked him that?” Walker asked. “To me, it seems I’ve had multiple days of an incredible double standard. They don’t ask the president about people like Jimmy Hoffa, they don’t ask Hillary Clinton about others out there.

“My focus isn’t on what the mayor said,” he continued, referring to Giuliani. “My focus is on why I believe, should I choose to get in this election, why I believe we need a fighter.”
