Lindsey Graham: 'No Doubt' Obama Loves America, But He's Divided It

[DonViejo]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday said he has "no doubt" Barack Obama loves his country, although he does believe the President has divided Americans.

Graham was asked on ABC's "This Week" to respond to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's (R) accusation that Obama doesn't "love America."

“Well, I love Rudy, but I don’t want to go there," Graham said. "The nation’s very divided. President Obama has divided us more than he’s brought us together and I don’t want to add to that division."

"I have no doubt that he loves his country," he added. "I have no doubt that he’s a patriot. But his primary job as president of the United States is to defend this country and he’s failing miserably.”

1. Really, Lindsey? How many attacks have occurred under Obama as, let's say, Bush?

[tanyev]

2. Yeah, it was that secret plan he had before his inauguration to obstruct everything the GOP wanted.

Oh wait, it was the other way around.

3. Obama divided the country by being black and by not being a Republican.

5. Yes Obama is dividing America

by standing up to right wing bullies..and thinking that his election meant something..How divisive of him!

...McConnell, McCain, Boehner, Cantor, Issa, Demint (I know he is not there anymore) et al are the ones who have done that.

8. Lindsey licked his finger and put it in the air and

learned which way the wind was blowing at the moment. I don't think the Rs thought that there would be such a large and swift backlash for Guiliani's remarks.
