In an interview with Sean Hannity, former speaker and 2012 presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich remarked that, Obama's refusal to meet with Israeli Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu helped to "turn the speech into a world-wide event".
He further commented that weeks earlier when it became public that Obama would not be meeting with Netanyahu during his visit, immediate requests for tickets exceeded the house capacity by 2,500 seats.
He added that, "Netanyahu's popularity among both sides of the isle was so great, that it took him much longer to make his way to the podium than it does Obama prior to a "State of the Union speech", because so many people from both sides of the isle wanted to shake Netanyahu's hand and get some 'face-time' with him.
Gingrich said "Obama cannot bring himself to call Isis evil", among other blistering remarks.
Well stated my friend.
The petulant little man child cannot help but have his plans blow up in his face.
Exactly! You took the words right out of my keyboard!
One of the most meaningful political speeches I’ve ever seen....
0bama acted stupidly. Again.
Netanyahu is just another example of a foreigner filling an unfilled job in America. In his case, the job is Leader of the Free World.
Well said!
What’s eating Pelosi? She looks kooky?
I haven’t seen her lately. But she has looked kooky for as long as I can remember.
Pelosi is the face of the Democrat Party. If that doesn’t scare you what will scare someone?

Martin Henrich is vulnerable in NM.
He should be pick-off target #1.
Don’t say that, Newt! The “palaeos” (”the Israelis are the secret bosses of the Left”) will claim that’s why Obama did it!
