I'd love to see a Newt - Obama debate. Newt would absolutely destroy him intellectually.

:wf

he's probably been the best conservative since Ronnie.

there is no doubt he would. Newt has forgot more than Obama will ever learn about this game called politics. the experience level alone is nowhere close, and Obama holds the highest office in the land!

noone in the Republican party is even close to Newt as far as brilliance goes either.

I think Obama could hold his own. Debates on television come down to who looks better physically and who can out bulls.hit the other.

Advantage Obama.

Who else is capable of predicting Obama in a landslide and then saying (in regards to ObamaCare) "He was willing to sacrifice a second term to it, and he got it done (the start)." within a couple of days?

She's like an old steam locomotive, in the way of a bullet train, refusing to pull off the track. The steam is building and she'll eventually blow! :)

Oh, if you mean a debate as devoid of substance as Obama's own campaign was, (i.e. "Hope and Change" "Yes we Can"), then sure.

I thought we were literally talking about an intellectual debate - pitting ideas against each other. The proponents of those ideas are secondary.

And when was the last time a debate like that happened?

Exactly.

Americans, for the most part, are morons. They want style over substance.

Obama could out debate Jesus with regards to your first paragraph. He's so good that he got himself elected POTUS with the minimal amount of experience and record he had. That is just amazing.

Newt > Obama with regards to actual intellect.

hey at least she didnt accuse you of not planning for your own retirement.

LOL - I wish - please :tro:

Go read the list 'Zig posted on politifact. But I doubt you are interested. Nothing will convince some that anything he's accomplished is worthwhile.

Well, Dell, I'm glad you've picked up a new quote from me you can keep putting forth out of context, in an effort to prove how simplistic and simpleminded you are about political discourse :tro:

Obama has said himself, he'd be willing to sacrifice a second term if he could get healthcare and nuclear proliferation limitations accomplished. He's said it. That's no secret.

Obama isn't as good a politician as Newt. I agree, he is probably the best conserve. since Reagan.

I hope he runs in 2012. He's the best option this country has. Shoot I wouldnt even mind him picking Hillary, or an Independant as his running mate (though that is a pipe dream)

That's right, the Libertarians, birthers, and ultra-right-conservatives on this board are obviously terribly objective about Obama

:tro:

OK this is getting 'Carter' complex.

So despite Obama's willingness to sacrifice a second term for passing his healthcare he will win a second term in a landslide because the GOP has no one to run?

Did you see any of the President debates, Joey?

he is a master bater.. I mean debater.. that is for sure.
