Rob Kim—Getty Images  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Feb 19, 2015 2:07 PM UTC Rudy Giuliani questioned Wednesday night whether President Obama actually “loves America.” Speaking at a private dinner for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Manhattan, the former mayor of New York said, “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” [_Politico_ reports](http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/rudy-giuliani-president-obama-doesnt-love-america-115309.html). “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.” With a nod towards the 2016 election, Giuliani then said he would support a Republican candidate: “If it’s you Scott, I’ll endorse you,” he added. “And if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.” _Read next:_ [_Texas Judge at Center of Obama Case No Stranger to Border Fights_](http://time.com/3713667/judge-andrew-hanen-obama-deportation/?xid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript Our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999. { APPLAUSE ] At every step we were told our goals were misguided, or too ambitious. Instead we've see the fastest economic growth in over decade. Our deficit's cut by two- thirds. A stock market that has doubled and healthcare inflation at its lowest rate in 50 years. [ APPLAUSE ] This is good news people. [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] And in a 21st century economy that rewards knowledge like never before we need to up our game. We need to do more. And that's why I'm sending this congress a bold, new plan to lower the cost of community college to zero. [ APPLAUSE ] 21st century businesses need 21st century infrastructure. So let's set our sights higher than a single oil pipeline. Let's pass a bipartisan infrastructure plan. Our shift. And Cuba policy has the potential to end a legacy of mistrust in our hemisphere, and extends the hand of friendship to the Cuban people. I want our actions to tell every child in every neighborhood, 'Your life matters.' Man and woman, young and old, black and white, Latino, Asian, immigrant, Native American, gay, straight- Americans with mental illness and physical disability. Everybody matters. I want them to grow up in a country that shows the world what we know to be true. That we are still more than a collection of red states and blue states and we are the United States of America. Thank you. God bless you. [ APPLAUSE ] God bless this country that we love. Thank you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/"},"headline":"Rudy Giuliani Says Obama Doesn't Love America","datePublished":"2015-02-19T14:07:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:41:41.644Z","description":"\"He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up\"","url":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Barack Obama","White House","rudy giuliani"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c9be49abf5a2728/69877fee8e0601f85945a5fc/rudy-giuliani.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c9be49abf5a2728/69877fee8e0601f85945a5fc/rudy-giuliani.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Rudy Giuliani","caption":"Rudy Giuliani at FOX Studios in New York City in 2014.","creditText":"Rob Kim—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/","name":"Rudy Giuliani Says Obama Doesn't Love America"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The 2015 State of the Union in Under 2 Minutes","description":"President Barack Obama delivered his 2015 State of the Union Address to Congress Tuesday laying out a new vision for what his administration terms “middle-class economics.”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/oRJrdKrq/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-01-21T05:34:02.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/oRJrdKrq.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3714734/rudy-giuliani-barack-obama/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
