Gingrich: busy first day in Oval office if elected.
AFP Google Hosted News ^ | February 10, 2012 | AFP

Posted on 02/10/2012 9:47:08 PM PST by true believer forever

Before an approving crowd of thousands at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the former House speaker laid out a cluttered schedule that would repudiate "at least 40 percent of (President Barack Obama's) government on the opening day."

"When the Congress comes in (in early January) it will stay in session and by January 20th, it will have repealed 'Obamacare,'" Gingrich said to a loud roar, referring to the president's landmark legislation that has helped provide coverage for tens of millions of uninsured Americans.

Also going under the axe would be the Dodd-Frank bill on Wall Street reform and the Sarbanes-Oxley bill on corporate accountability reform.

"That afternoon on the very first day, we should sign the repeal of all three. That's a reasonable start."

He also would immediately approve a controversial Canada-US oil pipeline, "abolish all of the White House czars," and shift the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Newt has been talking about his Day One Vision for quite awhile now at his campaign stops, but it hasn't been noted much in the press. I have sent articles dealing with this subject out and along my contacts trail, many many times, and they have a very positive and exciting effect. People are excited at the vision, and the thought of THAT AMAZING FIRST DAY. Please pass and post this any and everywhere you think it will be regarded... thank you very much.

Whew. I’m actually amazed that one day would suffice to undo almost half of it. Assuming that the lame duck Obama doesn’t try to get revenge in advance by issuing something like a literal million EOs.

Keep them coming!

Checking the UK and European news and he is still off the radar.
Soon as I find an article on Newt I’ll post it.

His speech was EVERYTHING that is best about America.

It has?

Newt did good this afternoon. Quite a few people are still smiling at the thought of that amazing first day.

It’s expected to co-opt the health care of tens of millions of Americans, a great deal of whom lost their private coverage due to Obamacare burdens.

A great start that would put back confidence back in our economy so businesses can start to think about growing their business and hiring people. Get rid of agencies like the EPA and the onerous regulations they issue and we will see a huge turn around.

She was so adorable wasn’t she? She reminded me, with a few of her inflections, like someone giving an address in a high school auditorium. She was obviously scared out of her mind... but I have seen her many times, and she is genuine. I mean genuine. She looks at people, actually listens without trying to look she is listening, and she touches people, on their elbows, I saw her straighten one old lady’s sweater before she went out into the cold.

There are some major issues - like how to get Dana Perino’s hair on her head? And get her wardrobe at least into the late early 90s. I think she is afraid to go out on the campaign on her own because of the exmistress stuff she is likely to encounter...

I think he knows enough about DC too, that he is trying to pre-empt another lame duck or end of the year session like last year’s fiasco and before, where all kind of stuff was done late at night... As the incoming President, he wants Congress in session on January 3rd, and the legislation written for him to sign on Inauguration Day... he says he will need a strong house and senate of conservatives behind him... What if he could actually do that... If his calcs are right, and that first day undoes 40% of barack’s agenda, then there’s hope again... hope again.

Watching the others live.. Newt’s was by far the best of the three candidates’ speeches! There was really something to it.

This reporting from AFP was incredibly slanted in favor of Obozo! We need a Newt to wear them down and expose them as Obozo shills as well as implement his Agenda. They are so crazy for Obozo it should be easy to trip them up.

It doesn’t take much to basically sign intentions. The actual bills will probably take somewhat longer to become law.

Romney has no depth, Santorum is a pissed off ideologue, and I forgot Paul was competing.

Newt in my opinion is the only one equipped with the full breadth of competency necessary to save the Country.

How are they going to overcome the Dem filibuster in the Senate? I doubt there will be 60 Republicans in the Senate, a net gain of 14 seats from today. Maybe 55. They will have to have the stones to change Senate rules to prevent a filibuster before the session starts. I doubt McConnell and the gang even want to repeal the law, much less mess with Senate rules.

Yeah, but I wanted to start getting that first-day vision out and about, and they were the only one, besides the Houston Chronicle, writing about it. That is probably all the attention it will get... the first paragraphs are pretty good descriptively...

How much has he spent thus far? $56,000,000?

$16 Million in slimebag attack ads on Newt Gingrich. (Of course the SuperPACS are not his money (laugh-laugh).

The press won't mention it because he will have to use the same tactics Obama used to implement a lot of it and they want to be able to express outrage at how Newt's trampling on the "sacred" Constitution and by=passing the "holy" checks and balances.

I am glad I voted for Newt in my Primary. He articulated my hopes for Our Nation in the CPAC speech. If he can achieve even HALF of what he said on the first day, it would be good for America.

Has to be 61 Republicans in the Senate because of Maverick McCain. Newt is the one that is most likely to deliver that super majority, the others have barely mentioned why it is necessary for repealing the (non)Affordable Health Care bill.

Good speech—BUT, the Fix is in—Its Mittens all the way—the back Room GOP have selected him.
its his turn at bat. Still, I think Newt would do better in the long run—just as I think Palin would be better.
