Not only does Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) not know whether President Barack Obama loves America, he also appears to be unaware that the president is a Christian.
“I don’t know,” the potential 2016 candidate told The Washington Post at the winter meeting of the National Governors Association in Washington, D.C.
“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said of Obama’s faith. “I’ve never asked him that. You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”

Walker’s comments follow controversial remarks made by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said earlier this week at a private dinner for the Wisconsin governor that Obama doesn’t love America.
They also come at a time when Walker’s presidential stock is rising in a crowded GOP primary. Several early primary state polls have shown Walker at the top of the potential field.
