Well, heck, they all do, moron Giuliani to the contrary. Low bar. We need higher bars. Not that guy. Like that's a clear criterion anyway. What a prize idiot, and how irresponsible to charge in this day and age.
>> a day earlier at New York's 21 Club where he stated, "I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America." When pressed over whether he stood by his remarks about Obama's love of the country, Giuliani softened his tone. “I shouldn’t say that the president does or does not love anything. “Well actually, if I could express it more clearly, what I mean is he doesn’t express it,” Giuliani said. “I shouldn’t say that the president does or does not love anything. I don’t know, I’m not a psychiatrist, and he doesn’t have one and he doesn’t need one.” Yet Giuliani also wavered, noting that he's made the same accusation several times over the last several years, and arguing that Obama's past comments reveal someone who has trouble expressing love for America, stating, “that’s the impression I get from what he says, yes.” He added that Obama “seeks to criticize [America], more than uplift it, and doesn’t get the notion of American exceptionalism.”
Who gives a flying whatever about the last degrees of supposed fanciful patriotic expressivity, except the very feeblest of citizen understanding in times of crisis. Rah-rah, please. And Lord, exceptionalism, seriously? I mean, check out this analysis by a former Reagan staffer:

I feel sorry for Rudi. Trying desperately to be listened too. It's like the dog or kid that wants attention acting out - jumping up and down and barking like crazy.
As for politicians and patriotism, geez. Whether you agree with them or not, I am absolutely certain that they sincerely believe they're doing the right thing in most cases (legislators excepted due to campaign contributions).
I disagreed with Bush and Cheney on most everything and yet I have no doubt they sincerely felt at the time and even today, that they were doing the right things.
And for fairness, I've disagree with Obama on most of his decisions but have no doubt that he thought he was doing the right thing in every case.
rono "I disagreed with Bush and Cheney on most everything I've disagree with Obama on most of his decisions I feel sorry for Rudi" Gee... and I thought I was tough on "morons" but you win

Looks like another one of those wedge issues: Guns, God, and now patriotism or love of country.
"Cabaret" should be required viewing.
Meanwhile, real issues go largely unaddressed as the leaders (I use the term loosely) on both sides bicker & squabble.
