RUDY WAS ON TO SOMETHING – AT 8:58 A.M. ET:  Rudy Giuliani was roasted for suggesting that Barack Obama doesn't love America.  I mean, the very idea of saying something so accurate was deeply upsetting to a media still attached to the Obama "narrative."  Turns out that many Americans are backing Rudy.  From John Fund at National Review: 

Once again, surveys show we are a divided nation. In the furor over Rudy Giuliani’s comment that President Obama doesn’t “love America,” the polling site YouGov.com decided to see how many Americans agreed with him.

The answer: a surprising number. Democrats are convinced he does love his country (85 percent of those surveyed answered yes in the poll), while Republicans (69 percent no) are skeptical. Independents break in the president’s favor by only 42 percent to 38 percent. Nationally, only 47 percent of people think the nation’s leader loves America while 35 percent do not.

I thought Giuliani’s comments inappropriate, but the White House should be concerned to the extent their own signaling and policies have led to such a result. It is indeed hard to imagine similar results for any modern president. As for Americans themselves, love of country still runs deep: 90 percent of conservatives say that they love America, compared to 85 percent of moderates and 82 percent of liberals.

COMMENT:  It's absolutely clear that Obama has a certain hostility to the American people.  He actually has made it quite clear in comments about people who "cling to their guns and their religion," and in constantly talking down to his fellow citizens.  Michelle Obama said during the 2008 that her husband's nomination for president marked the only time she's been proud of her country. 

I simply don't understand how so many Americans could have been so taken in by Obama.  Maybe they thought they were doing "the right thing" by electing a man with his background.  They were doing the wrong thing.
