... Gingrich paused the line of about 500 people waiting to have books signed to take Katrina’s questions. He leaned in endearingly, with his hand to his cheek, letting down his usual gruff Speaker of the House guard.

“Have you met a president? If so who was your favorite one?”

“My favorite president is George Washington,” Gingrich said. “I’ve met Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Obama and myself, but I’m not president yet but with your help I might be.”

8 year olds are not very worried about immigration I guess.

It’s a good thing that 8 year old can’t vote !

lol

Go Cain!

Our President Elect Newt Gingrich did good, and this young lad will always remember him and that moment.

Even at 8, reporters are biased.

Wow, he left out Clinton, in whose presence Newton said he “melts.”

you can be stupid about ‘immigration’ if you want, but we have NO PERFECT CANDIDATE

And Newt clearly stated he is against illegal immigration, but yu cannot just toss 20 million people out of the country on day 1

So... he remains the only candidate WHO HAS ACTUALLY BALANCED THE FEDERAL BUDGET

I’m not a big fan of Newt, but can’t we drop the snide remarks just for once? This was an 8 year old child getting to meet someone in a presidential campaign and I say that Newt did a very nice thing, taking time to talk with the boy. I may be solidly for Cain, but I think Newt should be applauded, not targeted with sneers and insults. That can wait for another event on another day.

Well based on your post Annie, I thought it was a ‘lad’ too, but ‘Katrina’ sure sounds female to me.

hahahahahahah. When I went into "reply", I had a Senior moment and went gungho for the "lad", rofl. Ok, it was a lassie, thanks for the correction, I knew someone would.

Well, on the other hand "Katrina"? perhaps somewhere there is a little lad suffering with that name, maybe in Louisiana

"Gingrich didn’t have the heart to tell her she wasn’t old enough to vote yet,..."

She can't vote in the actual election, but kids vote in school all the time now and whoever the kids vote for is the way the election goes.

KIDS VOTING

And Newt clearly stated he is against illegal immigration
Statements are one thing; actions are another. As are contradictory statements made by the same person.

we have NO PERFECT CANDIDATE
That's a signal that we have to start looking and praying for one, perhaps? because it's not an excuse to vote for another liberal.

he remains the only candidate WHO HAS ACTUALLY BALANCED THE FEDERAL BUDGET
At the expense of what? Did the CIA get fixed, or the military? Did jobs start coming back to the USA . . . ?

The man who once said he'd be "representing the 'conservative wing' of the post-industrial society" needs a lot more scrutiny than he's being subjected to.
