A Clarion Call for Education Reform [Newt teams up with Sharpton and Duncan]

At the request of President Obama, we're happy to announce that American Solutions General Chairman Newt Gingrich will be joining Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the Reverend Al Sharpton on a multi-city Education Reform Tour.

Can we once and for all get over this "Newt 2012" nonsense?

[Deb]

I was hoping it was Sandy Duncan.

What Sharpton needs to realize is that people need to want to learn and they have to have the capability to learn. What does this guy bring to the table anyway?

Newt has gone soft. Nothing good happens when you help the Dems.

Never, ever will Gingrich be president, as far as I'm concerned.

Newt is such a smart man, it amazes me the tone-deaf, blunders he walks into (I know, a mixed metaphor).

Anyone that teams up with a 'race baiter' like Sharpton not anyone that I would ever VOTE FOR! Do you here that NEWTIES?

[RoadTest]

These people would reform a lovely Porsche, Jaguar or The Parthenon, or the Mona Lisa, if they could, just to satisfy their little-boy egos, because they don’t dare grab the Playdough.

Anyone who does anything with Al Sharpton loses credibility instantly. That’s why I can barely stomach Sean Hannity anymore. Newt with Pelosi and now Sharpton. Done!

[Seruzawa]

Reform education? I hope then that the first step is to order the NEA disbanded. Else all other reforms would be pointless.

newt loves his dim controllers... he hangs with them... he believes in the same things as they do... and he lies to us about it just like they do.

If newt were so smart... he would not have been run out of government. He would not have done many things that he has done.

Gingrich is an interesting case. A fountain of ideas, of which 10% are very good, and 25% are really, really, really bad.

[Deb]

The biggest mistake he makes, and has so from the beginning, is that he always expects his critics to judge him fairly. He’s gotten 100% negative coverage since he became Speaker. And, of course, the malcontents scream he’s not conservative enough.
