WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats on Thursday assailed former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for questioning President Barack Obamas love of country, and urged the potential field of Republican presidential candidates to rebuke him for his comments.
Giuliani said at a New York City event on Wednesday night, I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America.
He doesnt love you. And he doesnt love me. He wasnt brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country, said Giuliani, who sought the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. His comments were reported by Politico and the New York Daily News.

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said its time for Republican leaders to stop this nonsense.
Several likely GOP candidates declined to get involved Thursday. Giuliani, meanwhile, softened his remarks somewhat in an interview, saying he didnt mean to question the presidents patriotism.
Asked by Fox News Megyn Kelly whether he had demonstrated civility, Giuliani replied: I think it was perfectly civil. I think that is a perfectly reasonable opinion.
His comments at the dinner brought to mind a familiar conservative criticism during Obamas 2008 and 2012 campaigns that he wasnt proud enough of the United States. During his presidency, a smaller segment falsely claimed that Obama was not born in the United States but rather in his fathers native Kenya.

Rudy Giuliani Questions Obama's Love of US; Democrats Cry Foul
President Barack Obama told Democrats on Friday that their work has improved the economy while strengthening the middle class, and jabbed at Republicans for trying to take the credit after stiffly opposing his agenda for six years.
Speaking at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting, Obama said it is "no accident" that his policies have lifted the country out of the recession he inherited when he took office. GOP predictions of "doom and gloom" over policies like health care have proven untrue, the president said.
Now, job growth and positive economic news has led Republicans to adopt Democrats' mantra of being "the party of the middle class," he said.
The president taunted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for suggesting Republicans historic gains in last year's midterm elections helped spur economic growth.
"As he was coming in, after having tried to block every single thing that we had done to strengthen the economy, starts looking at the jobs numbers and says, 'You know, it's getting better because we just got elected and people are feeling more optimistic,'" Obama said. "I didn't know that's how the economy worked."
However, Democrats should embrace Congressional Republicans if they are willing to support policies like raising the minimum wage, making college more affordable, increasing paid sick leave and reforming the criminal justice system.
"I think the shift in rhetoric they are engaging in is good if it actually leads them to take different actions," Obama said. "If it doesn't then it's just spin, trying to bamboozle folks."
