Everyone glossed right over this. Clinton was the weather man in San Diego telling everybody how nice it was (doesn't make you a better meteorologist) Newt was making the weather nice for him to report.

exactly, the best thing that happened to Clinton's presidency was Newt becoming Speaker.

you get statements like this "I lived through his tenure as Speaker of the House. It wasn't pretty." yet the country absolutely thrived during that time.

I'll say one thing with certainty though. I lived through Nancy Pelosi's tenure as Speaker of the House. It wasn't pretty.

Well he seems like a perfect fit for presidency based on those quotes. They are all full of themselves.

Unfortunately, that wasn't due to Republican policies or Gingrich's leadership (and I did not vote for Clinton)

Gingrich gets credit for the deficit reduction and strong economy then, exactly as Bush gets credit for killing bin Laden last week. Only in their dreams. History, facts, facts, history, wishes. Not all the same.

I hope he makes it through the North Carolina primary, so you can vote for your man.

Yes, and what was Newts budget? How'd that "Contract with America" work out?

Gingrich gets credit for two things from me - he has been in favor of government-mandated universal health care for all, and he worked with Clinton and the Dems.

Hey, Newt never said that there were 57 states...

Or confused "his Muslim faith" with "his Christian faith"

Or said he wants to "spread the wealth around" - wealth besides his own of course.

There are many idiotic statements that this president has made despite the media's overt action to hide his missteps and protect him.

In the debate it will be just Obama vs. Gingrich. No media to help. No prepared commercials. No orchestrated press conferences with softball questions and 20 minute long meandering answers.

It will be Newt vs. Barack. And I like Newt's odds any day.

Either did Obama. He was asked while running around on the campaign trail, about all the travel, how many states he'd visited, and he laughed and said, "All 57!" You know - as a joke?

Or confused "his Muslim faith" with "his Christian faith"

Either did Obama. Here's the original video of that interview, where George Stephanopolous is asking about the Republicans attacking him on the campaign trail by falsely saying he's Muslim, and Obama's answer: he said John McCain hadn't talked about my "Muslim" faith, and Stephanopolis says you mean Christian, and Obama says no, I'm saying that John McCain has not talked about me being Muslim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqIpdBOg6I

Or said he wants to "spread the wealth around" - wealth besides his own of course.

Your income taxes are the lowest they've been since the 1950's. Thank the multiple tax cuts and incentives you've gotten from this President.

There are many idiotic statements that this president has made despite the media's overt action to hide his missteps and protect him.

Do feel free to share them, especially as there are "many".

Have you ever heard Newt actually speak? He has a long-standing reputation similar to Joe Biden for saying redonkulous, absurd things

I doubt Newt will get past the first four primaries. He could win Iowa. If they are trying to kill Romney on his successful state healthcare, they will eat Newt alive for his national Socialist mandated government healthcare for all plan.

Too bad, as the Dems would salivate over getting to run against Newt, as they would against Palin.
