Gingrich Challenges Obama to 7, 3-Hour Debates

A victorious Newt Gingrich declared his improbable victory in South Carolina a “very humbling and very sobering” experience while challenging President Barack Obama to a series of seven, three-hour debates if he becomes the GOP nominee.

“The biggest thing I take from the campaign in South Carolina is that it is very humbling and very sobering to have so many people who so deeply want their country to get back on the right track,” acknowledged Gingrich with his wife, Callista, by his side.

Gingrich, who is often criticized for being overly bombastic, was nothing if not humble in his victory speech. “If I do become you nominee — and I think with your help I will become your nominee — but with your help — together — if that happens and it’s all up to all of us to work to make it happen — If that happens, then I will challenge president Obama to seven three-hour debates,” he declared.

He insisted that he did not win over South Carolina voters with his superior debating skills, something that a number of analysts point to in explaining Gingrich’s surge.

“People completely misunderstand what’s going on. It’s not that I am a good debater; it is that I articulate the deepest-felt values of the American people,” Gingrich insisted.

He had high praise for his opponents in the race, and particularly Texas Gov. Rick Perry who dropped out on Thursday and endorsed Gingrich.

Newt knows he’ll never get seven debates with Hussein.
He only need a couple to tear him a new one.

If Omuslim refuses to debate, he’ll be branded the coward that he is.

And in the event that he refuses to debate Newt, Newt will do as he promised and follow him around to each of his speaking engagements and dispute every word he says.

Think the Omuslim a$$-kissing mods and their timers will thwart Newt?
Newt is capable of busting out with the most damaging information about Omuslim out of term and devasting them all.
