Great video, I just admire him so...he will make a great President for our Great nation.....God willing.
Go Newt Go ....Newt’s way out in front in Georgia!
Obama has once again thrown our soldiers under the bus just like the police he threw off and under his bus taking up for his black buddy Henry Gates resulting in the Beer Summit. Apologizing for something he didn’t know the facts about and having his Generals chime in with him....shame on them and Obama...that isn’t leading, that is dictating. I don’t blame our warriors for their anger
Zum body gonna get whoort!
I’m sure that Obama will soon be apologizing to Catholics for burning their bible.
Mr. Gingrich presents a lot of hope for getting the government debt under control with his plan for energy development and the resulting royalties in conjunction with sound reforms of government spending.
I’d like to see Newt win all the southern states after Super Tuesday - TX, OK, AL, etc.
He definitely needs to build momentum to stop the pro-life liberal Santorum.
Yes, he will.
Santorum is starting the downward slide after the debate fiasco and his true colors showed.
An excellent discussion by the Speaker, you might want to ping your list.
Newt is right. An apology to a Muslim is a sign of weakness and they will exploit that weakness just like they did again this morning by killing 2 more American Military Officers.
I agree but we still need Santorum to slow MuttRomney while Newt re-gains traction.
Tricky situation....
So this time around, it's ok with you if Rick, "takes one for the team"?
Thanks Marguerite.
If elected in November, he has the vision and talent to lead us out of the mess we are in. It is going to take a junk yard dog to stand up to the establishments in both parties. He is the guy, IMHO.
LOL!
As long as Newt is the nominee
“Newt is right. An apology to a Muslim is a sign of weakness and they will exploit that weakness just like they did again this morning by killing 2 more American Military Officers.”
Obama’s weakness only encourage the Muslims’ violence.
I recall what a British officer said one century ago about them, “They are either at your feet, or at your throat”.
Showing your weakness to them is lethal.
NEVER APOLOGIZE.
Gingrich ‘deeply offended’ Obama doesn’t hold Karzai responsible for U.S. troops’ deaths, says president has ‘ideological commitment to a fantasy world’
Transcript:
VAN SUSTEREN: Mr. Speaker, I know from reading on the wires today and from hearing things that have come out from your campaign that you are very distressed — my word — about the president’s apology to President Karzai in a letter having to do with the violence that’s erupted after the burning of the Koran in Afghanistan. Tell me how you think he should have handled this.
GINGRICH: Well, first of all, I think that there’s this one-sided continuing effort by President Obama to appease whoever it is that seems unhappy. You know, churches get burned in Nigeria, there are no apologies. Churches get burned in Egypt, there are no apologies. Churches get burned in Malaysia, there are no apologies.
The fact is that it would have been one thing to have had the American commander in the region and President Karzai together saying this was unfortunate, that we’re working together, that, clearly, it was not done deliberately.
But what you have is a situation where an Afghan soldier, somebody who we probably paid, we probably trained and we probably armed, kills two Americans and wounds four others. I don’t hear any apologies coming from the Afghan government for the killing of Americans by one of their soldiers.
And I frankly just think this one-sided process of apologizing for America has gone too far. The commander-in-chief occasionally ought to stand up for his troops. I do not believe they were being deliberately sacrilegious. I believe they were dealing with materials much of which was radical Islamic materials, and I think it was probably an honest and a sincere mistake.
GINGRICH: I was going say I do find it distressing, just as happened recently with several Marines who did something truly stupid, that there’s an immediate response by the White House and the Obama administration to blame the Americans, to highlight the Americans. And I’m not at all sure that it’s valid.
And furthermore, I am really deeply offended, I think, on behalf of the families and on behalf of the American people that Americans get killed by an Afghan soldier, President Obama doesn’t seem to hold Karzai responsible for that. There doesn’t seem to be any request for an apology from Karzai.
