Giuliani Defends Comments on Obama’s Patriotism: He ‘Didn’t Live Through 9/11, I Did’

On Wednesday night, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a private Manhattan audience, “I do not believe that the president loves America.” He followed that up Thursday morning by clarifying to Fox & Friends that President Barack Obama “sounds like more of a critic than a supporter” of this country. And now, in a radio interview with Sean Hannity, Giuliani stood by his statement once more, this time invoking the September 11th attacks to justify his point.

<...>

Giuliani told Hannity he’s been making a similar point for the past several years, but it finally got picked up by reporters. “And I’m not saying it was out of context, it wasn’t,” he said. When Hannity brought up the specter of another 9/11, Giuliani asserted, “You know, President Obama didn’t live through September 11, I did. President Obama didn’t almost have a building fall on him, myself and my police commissioner and my fire commissioner did.”

“So excuse me, it’s a little bit emotional for me, but it’s also real,” he continued. “These people are dangerous.” Giuliani went on to accuse Obama of “downplaying” the terrorist threat and hit Attorney General Eric Holder for saying the is the “creation of Fox News” (not exactly what he said). “I mean, where are they, on Mars?!”

While President Obama was not mayor of New York during 9/11, he was most certainly alive and serving as a state senator in Illinois at the time.

6. Even lost your command center due to your phenomenal incompetence.

Yeah, let's go there, Rudy.

The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

“Seven World Trade Center is a poor choice for the site of a crucial command center for the top leadership of the City of New York,” a panel of police experts, which was aided by the Secret Service, concluded in a confidential Police Department memorandum.

The memorandum, which has not been previously disclosed, cited a number of “significant points of vulnerability.” Those included: the building’s public access, the center’s location on the 23rd floor, a 1,200-gallon diesel fuel supply for its generator, a large garage and delivery bays, the building’s history as a terrorist target, and its placement above and adjacent to a Consolidated Edison substation that provided much of the power for Lower Manhattan.

8. Translation of Rudy's comments: "Obama is a N----r."

Ultimately, that's all he's got. He's playing to the haters, and he needs to be ignored.

9. Did I hear that right...?

"Obama didn't live through 9/11..." So...RG's saying this county's president isn't even 18 years old?!

10. Rudy G placed the emergency commmand center in the lobby of the Towers.

He was told not to do this. Perhaps more could have been saved if not for Rudy's negligence.

11. A noun, a verb, 9/11

Even after all these years...
