The White House has officially responded to Rudy Giuliani’s recent outlandish comments questioning President Obama’s underlying love for his country.
Here’s just one of the idiotic comments Giuliani levied against the President in recent days:
I do not believe the President loves America. He doesn’t love you and he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and the way I was brought up through love of this country.
Okay, first things first. You’re right about one thing - he doesn’t love you Giuliani, but it’s not hard to see why and it has nothing to do with how he was “brought up.”
It’s not entirely clear what caused this former Mayor of New York and Republican Presidential candidate to lose his noggin and go so low as to question Obama’s love of his country - but what is clear is Rudy Giuliani is an absolute tool.
President Obama, through the use of the official White House Twitter page, decided to make a colorful gesture to Giuliani’s hate speech, with the hashtag #obamalovesamerica, in this posting (below). What better way than to respond to such ridiculous accusations, than through the use of humor.

But, while that is all fun and games, this certainly was no laughing matter, and the Obama administration made that certain during a press conference.
The White House kept their response short and succinct, in much the same way someone witnessing an adult throwing a tantrum in public would - in disbelief that such a thing had actually occurred.
Press Secretary Josh Earnest delivered this perfect comeback:
I can tell you that it’s sad to see when someone who has reached a certain level of public stature, tarnish that legacy so thoroughly. I don’t take any joy or satisfaction from this, but really - the only thing I feel is - I feel sorry for Rudy Giuliani today.

I feel sorry for New York that they will forever have their state linked to that embarrassment called Giuliani
New Yorkers loathe Giuliani. There is a reason Rudy never took on Hillary for the Senate or Spitzer for the Governorship.
His poll numbers are dreadful. Even the NY State GOP holds him at arms length, he is so toxic.
I believe the reason was, he dropped out of the Senate race when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He never ran for the Senate. Like the other bullying, loudmouth, Trump, Rudy claimed that he was eagerly encouraged to run.
Hillary was not at all a sure thing, the “carpetbagger” label hurt her at the beginning.
Unfortunately for the fascist-turned-crank that is the former mayor, New Yorkers strongly preferred “anyone but Giuliani.
The revelation of the prostate problem was made only after it was clear that Rudy would never hold elective office in New York State.
It is slightly better than saying he “wanted to spend time with his family”- which is kind of awkward for this serial adulterer.
That’s a great crystal ball you have there. Can you pick a few winner stocks for me? Who’s going to win the next Superbowl? I state a fact and you refute it with opinion and conjecture. Good job.
Its hard to feel sorry for New York when you are from Missouri, the state that gave us Todd Akin (legitimate rape guy) and Rush Limbaugh.
LOL.
Now that is funny, hell I live in Oklahoma….Queen Mary, Jim Inhofe and Sally Kerns…….New York got nothing on us Okies.
Don’t feel bad, in Texas we have Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert. (plus others almost as crazy)
Very good Mary, but Alaska and Minnesota have their embarrassments too, with Palin and Bachman….
Ouch.
“No drop of water thinks it is responsible for the flood.” All states have contributed to the GOP clown car.
Iowa - Steve King and Joni Ernst.
I feel sorry for all of them. They hate Obama more than they love America.
no we love America…..Obama hates this country, if you can read try reading his book, he makes no secret that he wants to take us down to 3rd world status, you obviously are one of the low/no educated fools who voted the traitor in
How much do you hate him?
Who do you hate more isis or Obama?
A simple question.
Truth becomes hate to those who hate truth. Hope you have the brains to get this statement.
answer the question.
We don’t answer HATE questions
Hate - you must be one of those hypocritical christians. Hate is not in my Christian believe.
Can you please refer to where in his book(s) did make such statements…if you are educated you must be an educated redneck
your pathetic hatred leads tpo fantasies and detachment from reality
… and from your tone, you are apparently a low information FOX NOISE watcher!
OMG where have you been? The last six years, obama has not said one kind word about America, he has done nothing but put America down. He is a disgrace to our republic.
Unsupported statements make you an ugly American. President is a true American.
Unfortunately, puglianana, your misguided view comes from reading into something so it fits your personal feelings and has nothing to do with what is said or seen. Too many people like you are causing unnecessary grief to our wonderful country, and you need to stop. If possible, open your mind and learn.
You need to stop watching FAUX NOISE … they have impeded your brain growth!
That was the perfect comeback from the White House…Giuliani is a fool and a tool
Class response.
Boom!!!! That is what you call a political knock out.
burn
Mic drop….turn and walk away
Giuliani, Brian Williams should start their own group therapy.
You forgot Bill O Reilly lying tail.
Hahaha.. Just when they finally got the psychotic war criminal Cheney to shut his insane trap - Giuliani pops up to fill the GOP rabid right lunatic vacuum.
There’s far too many of them wanting 15 minutes.
I question the way that Rudy Giuliani was raised. I do not question the way Obama was raised, sounds like Obama came from a pretty darn good family.
There’s far too many of them.
Too many of what?
Stupid Ignorant White Racist Republicans. Does that answer your question?
for the win!
White trash hates Obama.
Giuliani was raised with love….he married his cousin!
Just because he married his cousin, does not mean he was raised with love, I can only see hatred coming from that man.
I was being sarcastic!
OUCH!
ewwwww
Inbreeding …. no wonder he has brain malfunctions!
His mother was a whore, is that a good enough family for ya
What a nasty thing to say, can you proof it.
Wow, you just might be the winner of the ‘worst person on the internet today’ award.
Oh no! She is a “Christian” - white trash!
Are you declaring that this woman exchanged sexual favors for cash?
Your response just said all that needs to be said about you and who ever raised you! Isn’t it amazing how that works! No need to even rebut your ignorance because to have to be you should just about be enough punishment!
apparently you two worked together at one time but she was able to get out of the life while you are now entertaining truckers at $3 a throw
Yeah Judy, communism is a pretty good family. duh!!!!!
Proof it!!!!
ugly statements that are just gibberish - uneducated trash
I presume Rudy G will blame his words on the PTSD he suffered from his many and ultimately successful attempts to evade fighting for his country in Vietnam.
Genius BURN!That was a good one
Does this guy Rudy G. has Alzheimer? He forgets Obama the President who”doesn’t love America”is the one who got rid of Osama Bin Laden.
NO he did not!! Our Navy Seals got Bin Laden and they were rewarded by Obama by setting 5 terrorists free!!!
You think Obama had no skin in the game? Are you old enough to remember Jimmy Carter and the failed hostage rescue? It cost him reelection.
yep I remember Jimmy Carter the most honest political figure since the founding fathers. Also remember the Republicans causing the hostages to have to stay longer than necessary, to get the B actor elected president. Many leaders in Iran told of the deal to not release them before the election, & the promised military weapons and machinery. Reagan may have lied to America but he kept his promise to Iran. He committed treason before he was elected and kept it up afterward and lied about it and Ollie North lied under oath about it also and now talks lies on radio about Democrats. Of course Ollie and Reagan were both exempted from punishment as was Nixon and all GOP crooks because it is just an accepted fact that they don’t follow rules and aren’t expected to. Guess they have gotten their way too much and now think that lying and cheating is the way to win elections so it is fair. For 6+ years there has hate talk about our President.Republicans were not in congress to do the business of the American people they were there to stop any program that Obama tried to pass. Congress has wasted enough money on foolishness and game playing to have paid for our veterans care, housing , and food and still had plenty to insure there was no child going to bed hungry ( if lucky enough to have a bed)
Spot on, Patricia
That was love to America didn’t you know that CandisD, seriously now Obama has shown nothing but contempt and disdain to America since he took office, He has no respect for the military at all nor does he honor his oath of office for the simple fact he does not hold the Constitution Of The United States to be the Supreme Law of the land
CandisD Get your facts straight, Obama gave the go ahead, if he had not done so you would still have Bin Laden .
Obama THE PRESIDENT got ride of Bin Laden - the Seals obeyed his orders.
He was valiant and triumphant in his efforts.
The problem with Giuliani and his ilk is their regressive thinking. It and they haven’t changed with the times. It’s a main reason why we can’t allow any Teapublican to become president.
It’s a whole new world. Unless you want a big boatload of trouble. You can’t talk or behave the way it used to be safer to. The enemy is Dar more dangerous. Weapons are far more dangerous. Hate is bigger than ever.
For the good of the country and it’s citizens. Being reactionary is dangerous. You need to think intelligently and deliberately. You need to wait for the right time to talk and act.
Something the right. Especially the radical right knows nothing about. Then Bush administrations are the most recent examples of.
and thus was born Isis…….thanks baby bush.
Regardless of what you think of Rudy…..his assessment was spot on.
If only yours were the same
No it wasn’t, it was completely untrue. Giuliani is angry that Obama is a better man and American than he is.
Please stop using my last name.
Will someone please inform @James Anderson’s caretaker, that he has, once again, escaped “the home.”
Thank you.
James, isn’t it funny how elections work? Your guy runs for office, the majority rejects the same old failed policies, your guy loses, the winner proceeds to correct the problems created by your last guy, and you get to sit in a corner and cry like a two year old for 8 years! In other words, do you realize how stupid you sound?
Good one Vain Freeman !
Wow, nicely put. Thank you.
it is written, you can’t say that you love God and hate your brother.
I find it interesting that you do not show your face, but rather, hide behind the cross. If you hold hate in your heart for our President (the one that was elected twice by a majority of your fellow US citizens) or anyone for that matter, you are not a true Christian. If our President was a Muslim, which indeed he is not, your religion commands you to love him none the less. The fact that he has a knowledge of the Muslim faith and understands it do to his upbringing only makes him a better President, know they enemy. You Mr. Anderson need to go back to reading your Bible and actually following some of it’s most important messages.
Yes, you’re right, Obama opened up his entire life for scrunity, exposed his wife and kids to ridicule by his political opponents, subjected himself to some of the vilest behavior exhibited toward a president, all because he hates America. I guess that’s logical in baggerland!
How come we’ve never seen his college transcripts then, if he is SO transparent. It’s more to do with him loving himself than loving America…
Your comment makes no sense, because presidents do not release their transcripts. Only one has ever released their transcrpits George W. Bush. Try again.
Why do you need to see his college transcripts? Did anyone ask you for yours?
Am I the President?
Earnest must be a better person than I for I feel no sympathy for Giuliani at all. He has not changed, he was always what he is today.
If someone loves their country then why would you want to fundamentally change it?
This coward blogger living in mommies basement because he is worthless peice of crap spewing a poison called progressivism
This president is systematically destroying the middle class and if you don’t see that your just a worthless sheep
Joe Take your meds, it will be ok!
Barack Obama has 14 ancestors who fought the Brits during the Revolutionary War.
That’s 14 more than you have.
He’s “more American” than you.
Instead R.G has many ancerstors who were cooking Spaghettis..
Perhaps to help America realize its full potential as a nation, and for all of us to assist it in TRULY becoming the UNITED States of America. As the song says, “This land was made for you AND me.” It is not, nor has it ever been designed to Be solely for exploitation by those with power, money and influence, although sadly, thanks to “trickle down,” economics that is what has transpired over time..
Its main problem right now Joe, are the people just like you who are continually coerced into voting against their own self interest by the political agents who have oppressed you, your entire life by feeding you fear, honing your ignorance, and giving you “just enough” to think one day…you’ll grow up to Be just like them. What part of, “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” do you not understand?
It surely does not mean, “of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation,” and it most certainly does not mean, “of the white male, by the white male, and for the white male.” I fear THESE are a couple of things you don’t wanna see changed, eh Joe.
Get used to it, because after all your whining and name calling, the fact of the matter is, demographics do not lie, cannot be “spun, ” and eventually will win the day for democracy.
BTW, the middle class has been systematically destroyed by republican efforts to destroy America’s unions, beginning in 1980 with Ronald Reagan’s breaking up of the PATCO union. If you would simply open your eyes, you could see the demise of the middle class from that point on. It IS very well documented, and quite easily sourced.
So Joe, stop concerning yourself with that mythical blogger down in some maternal basement, concern yourself with reaping the benefits of constructive change, despite your effort to prevent it.
You will always and forever be my new best friend. I’m not going to nominate you just for the day, but forever. I love you and I’m going to copy your response and post it as a response in all the places that has confounded me for years of trying to explain to others the harm they do themselves. Thank you.
Thanks Rhonda, don’t let them bring you down, its only castles burning.-Neil Young
Excellent reply
Hey Joe….Point it out…….Healthcare killing the middleclass? requested Minimum wage increase? Protecting Social Security/Medicare? Stock market at 17000? Gas at $2.00 a gallon? Need more clarity…explain.
A good one VioletsMike !!
Let @Joe Langella’s post be a lesson to all!
Never post while touching yourself.
Joe’s post is an example of the result.
You’re a dick. Plain and simple. Troll somewhere else, tool.
Joe. RealityBites took you to school. Thank him and heed his words. Please don’t allow your stubbornness or spite to cost you to miss this blessing. He’s telling you something that is bigger than your geography. Grow, even if you don’t understand his words now, copy them because one day they are going to sink in and you’re going to get it like an epiphany.
Rondadays you live in a fantasy world this site has censored my rebuttals and not posted them because my answers were based on facts and destroyed his theory completely but you will never know because this blogger acts like a communist and only allows propaganda to get to sheep like you
Yes, the middle class is being systematically destroyed, but not by the President, by the Republican right wing extremists and the tea party. They have sold their souls to Corporations. You need to take the money out of politics. The President is trying to do this with the repeal of Citizens United. Do you know what that is, or what it does. The name is deceiving, it is meant to be.
Oh Baloney Joe.
Our nation needs certain fundamental changes, whether you like it, or not. The middle class was already destroyed before he ever ran for office. You are very, very late to the discussion. Too much time for you on the links, I suspect. Have you read any books lately?
Does this guy Rudy G. has Alzheimer? He forgets Obama the President who”doesn’t love America”is the one who got rid of Osama Bin Laden.
Oh, I thought the Navy Seals did that…
Yes, the Navy Seals “got” bin Laden, under the leadership and direct orders of their COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, Barack Hussein Obama.
Same way Bush said in Irak “Mission Accomplished…
I would have added : “And by the way, for someone who professes to “love America”, when America needed him to fight for her, he found a way to wiggle…worm…weasel - out of it. Didn’t you, Mr. Giuliani?”…
so I came for a racist comment and I just found typical rhetoric. is there more that wasn’t posted here, or are we supposed to assume a racial subtext in his comments? The press secretary is a tool. And I say that because they are all tools (press secs, red and blue). I tuned in to watch his response to several journalists trying to get answers on Obama’s collaboration with Cameron over government backdoors and suppression of crypto, and all the guy does is blow smoke. He spends almost 5 minutes saying nothing at all, and finally another reporter asks him not to repeat “the equities, please do not.” and everyone starts laughing because it was so lame.
so, all that to say, that literally anything coming from the press secretary is like getting news from a highly esteemed whore. Its interesting, but worthless.
Your describing Faux Entertainment! Yoour on the wrong post…
Rudy was raised by criminals,his dad collected debts for a loan shark with a baseball bat and all of his uncles were criminals/felons as well.Good job Rudy,they should have opened your closet and let the skeletons out but they had more class than you.
…and married 3 x’s….his 1st wife was his cousin!
Sounds like someone a less classy President, say, Nixon, would have the FBI investigate for mob ties, and invent some if they didn’t already exist.
I desperately want Palin to run again so we can enjoy new milf comedy
Breaking News: Rudy Giuliani to award himself a Purple Heart for the wounds his words have inflicted on his legacy
What I have noticed is when they (the hate mongers) start blaming/saying negative things about the other person, it’s exactly what they are doing. And either in complete denial, or just creating a smokescreen so others don’t notice. Like one of my favorite sayings: “when you point your finger at someone, there’s three more pointing back at you”!!
Rudy Giuliani, Huckabee,Palin and the rest of the Obama haters should be kissing his Blackass literally. His Presidency has earned them more money than they ever could imagine or make on their own. The lying, despicable Rudy is using a segment of Americas hatred of President Obama to make nothing but bank, just like he did after 9/11. He is one of the worse bottom feeders out there. He’s the George Zimmerman of politics, fleecing fools out of their coins.
I wonder what Rudy’s definition of love is. I know he didn’t love his wife since he cheated on her and married his mistress…
So let me get this right RUDY…..all the previous WHITE presidents LOVED america…the first BLACK president doesn’t?? REALLY???
don’t feel sorry for him, he chose to be a jackass
In what possible way could Rudy Giuliani saying The Traitor Stain “doesn’t love” the country He Exaltedly hates and wants to destroy be construed as “racist”? Oh, wait, that’s right… In the Obammiewhoriverse, anyone who even mildly disagrees with The Great Producer of Numtricious Poopiepoops is a “racist traitor”… Silly me, I forgot. HEIL, OBAMA!!! HEIL, OBAMA!!!! OBAMA IS GOD!!!!
So much anger and fear, and so little sense. Not an optimal combination.
Shouldn’t you be returning to the hospital and taking your meds?
Meh. I don’t feel one bit sorry for that pathetic, corrupt, anti-American pos. He epitomizes today’s vapid, vile, disgusting, anti-American republican party. They have absolutely nothing to offer anyone except the upper 1%, and they’re at war with the rest and cannot wait to completely kill the middle class. Today’s gop is the enemy within.
Progressives label something racist when they have no good answer. You have labelled Giuliani’s comments as racist. You lose.
The reaction has been so hysterical because the thrust of Giuliani’s comments are so obviously true. You know it and I know it too.
Giuliani has never questioned the patriotism of ANY OTHER PRESIDENT (who were ALL white), ergo, Rudy would certainly seem to be racist as he seems to offer no solid proof as to WHY he believes President Obama doesn’t love America, especially since he dropped the little hint that Obama “wasn’t raised the way you and I were.” What does that mean, Rudy? He was raised in the “ghetto” of Hawaii by his white grandparents, veterans of WW II, and sent to private schools and won scholarships to prestigious colleges, ultimately attending Harvard Law School and being appointed the first black president of The Harvard Law Review. God knows, that’s the perfect way to grow up hating America.
President Obama is the Jackie Robinson of Presidents!!!!!!
I don’t feel sorry for Rudy Giuliani……he has just reminded us of the blatant publicity whore he really is.
They left off the best thing Josh Earnest said in addition to the above: “He’s (Giuliani) right about one thing: ‘It was a terrible thing to say.'” Responding to Giuliani saying this may be a terrible thing to say, but…
And this, my friends is a “backlash!”
guiliani another GOP bully
I think it’s rich: Giuliani, in whose pedigree organized crime and other thuggery play such a strong role, criticizes the Harvard Constitutional Law scholar. What a friggin’ joke. Giuliani should be drug-tested.
If anyone loves this country it is our President today. He is for helping the people of America. Trying to get the corporations to open their doors with jobs, to have them pay their fair share in taxes so we can get this country on its feet again, to save medicare and social security that came out of our own pockets to invest in our senior years, who asked for our concerns that no President afforded to ask, who will not jump in every war out there unless neccessary because other presidents couldn’t wait to go to war so their rich business friends could make money from it at the expense of our sons and daughters fighting these wars, and stayed as a President after all the racist hate remarks made of him. I am proud that he is our President because he is for America. WE THE PEOPLE are aware of what the hypocritical politicians and their friends are trying to do to bring this country down to have all the land and money for themselves and their rich friends. All you hypocrites should leave this country because you don’t love America enough to save America.
People like this trouble me greatly , they make me worry about the Government of tomorrow , they make me question and dread the future simply because their Antics and lunacy might end up getting us into a religiously fueled war or turning this land of Freedom ( even though it’s been changed to almost freedom ) to a land where Bisexual , Transgender , and gay Individuals are deathly afraid of going out in public because they fear being Lynched.
I fear that our freedoms will be torn asunder so that they can Impose freedom only for themselves and that sickens me greatly.
Well, THAT should scorch some republican behinds.. LOL! The republicans open their mouths, and stick their feet right back in up to their knee caps! LOL!
If there were adults in the White House, there would be more important things to do than formulate a “comeback.”
Joe, believe it or not, (you won’t of course you won’t,) I had a big huge point by point rebuttal to your hate speech above. I copied YOUR post into the text box, and had my answers in ALL CAPS to differentiate clearly from your tinfoil hat fetish bullshit. I hit post and it never loaded. I am assuming it was because there were too many characters.
At this point I haven’t either the time, energy or inclination to lance at the hate filled windmill that is Joe Langello. Suffice to say, you didn’t really refute anything I said. You only used my piece as an excuse to rant about a document that clearly, you do not understand; that document being the U.S Constitution.
You probably got run off of that mythical college campus which you you speak because, 1) they thought you a belligerent a-hole. That could very well be considering the tone of your many posts of yours that I have seen, or 2) they thought you a pedophile, or 3) it could possibly have been a complaint by lodged by the professor, who you called a fascist name caller. Go figure
Anyway, if you choose, go back and re-read my post and really tell me what makes you so angry, after all, “this land was made for you and me.” I like to live in peace with you in it. Can you say the same?
What was “racist” about that?
Excuse me, why? Your “drop the mic answer,” (only in your mind,) makes absolutely no sense contextually?
How, by going into Iraq illegally?
I agree with Rudy, if he did love us why is he taken the U.S. down the toilet?????
Please provide proof to us how the President has “taken the U.S. down the toilet”.
I don’t feel sorry for any of you. Anyone who loves Obama or ANY politician more than they love America, the Constitution and Liberty deserves no sympathy whatsoever.
These attacks many of you are making on Rudy Guiliani are nothing but the childish name calling and insults that conservatives gave up in elementary school but since you don’t have any facts to back up your defense of a man who is doing his best to destroy your country, name calling and insults are all you have.
Speaking of elementary school, that’s about the level of reading proficiency Obama displays when reading from a teleprompter.
I feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of the White House
Yeah, its racist to point out that Obama’s influences while growing up all revolved around socialists and communists. Do liberals really understand that those ideals are contrary to the U.S. Constitution? When did we become all become communist? What has communism done to improve the world. Did you know that communist collaborators were called “progressives”. Do liberals understand that changing the meaning of the words do not change the ideology.? Bad is good and good is bad.
All over the internet - who put it there? White trash?
Rudy G is a fool big time,
IT’S ITALIANS WHO HATE AMERICA! —
To a man or woman they refuse to denounce the mafia, one of the worst scourges this country has faced in terms of crime undermining the public welfare.
