18. Regarding Mayor Giuliani's upbringing and President Obama's upbringing

Fri Feb 20, 2015, 05:13 PM

Feb 2015

From what I heard on the Thom Hartmann Show today, Obama was raised by his grandfather. This grandfather served as a soldier during WWII, he actually participated in the Normandy invasion. It doesn't get more patriotic then that huh but what about Giuliani's father? Rudy's pop had served time in prison so he couldn't enlist for the war, he was also a 'strongman' for the mob!

"Mob Ties (through his Dad and Uncle)

For a guy who made his name attacking the mob, Rudy Giuliani has a surprising number of mob ties himself, including his father Harold -- a convicted felon who, according to the book "Rudy! An Investigative Biography", was involved (with Rudy's uncle Leo) in a shoot-out with a mob competitor. The book charges that Harold's best friend Lou Carbonetti, Jr. was a mobbed-up Democratic Party leader with connections to the boxing world. Harold Guiliani did prison time for robbery and served as the collector for Giuiliani's uncle Leo."
