Back then even Hillary Clinton ridiculed Obama's statement regarding Pakistan at first.
Today, Newt bowed out of the race and in so doing, this was the report:
ARLINGTON, Va. Newt Gingrich, the colorful former House speaker and fiery partisan, formally exited the Republican presidential contest Wednesday and vowed to help Mitt Romneys bid to defeat President Barack Obama.
Ending a campaign that seesawed between implosion and frontrunner and back again, Gingrich threw his support to his one-time rival as expected and promised his supporters he would continue to push conservative ideas. Gingrich bowed out of the race more than $4 million in debt.
Today, I am suspending the campaign. But suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship, Gingrich told a ballroom in a suburban Washington hotel.
We are now going to put down the role of candidate and candidates spouse and take back the role of active citizens, he said, adding he would continue to promote conservative ideas on college campuses, as well as through newsletters and films.
He also urged conservatives to rally behind Romney as a better alternative than Obama.
This is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history, Gingrich said.
Hillary!?
Romney hedges his bets and then pivots later. That is his MO.
He did NOT say that at all...go to C-span and listen yourself Jeff....he did not tell conservatives to Rally behind Romney...the article is taking that out of context as usual.
Furthermore he did not Endorse Romney at all.
