ATLANTA —
Republican presidential candidate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stumped in Cobb County on Thursday, saying he can easily defeat President Barack Obama.
“Beating Obama will be easy,” Gingrich said. “Obama is a disaster. He is an incompetent radical.”
Fourteen years after his last speech to the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, Gingrich was back in the district where he once served. Channel 2’s Carol Sbarge went to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, where Gingrich held his breakfast speech.
Gingrich criticized Republicans for not having a vision and said it’s time to control spending, reform government and balance the federal budget. Gingrich admitted he has to win the Georgia primary on Super Tuesday to be a credible candidate.
One woman at the event said she worries Gingrich doesn’t have enough money to compete with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
“Deep pockets can make it or break it,” said Gail Holmon, a real estate agent.
Meanwhile, Channel 2’s John Bachman was a last-minute campaign stop for Rick Santorum at the DeKalb Peachtree Airport. Santorum said he doesn’t have as much money as Romney, but still has a fighting chance.
“Look, I don’t have billionaires giving me tens of billions of dollars in super PACS. We raised $9 million in the last month,” Santorum said.
Santorum spoke about family values, tax cuts and job creation. About 100 people attended the event, which was scheduled about 24 hours earlier.
“We’re running a guerrilla campaign,” Santorum said.
Great video. God Bless, Newt.
>>“Beating Obama will be easy,” Gingrich said.
Ballsy! Gotta love the guy!
well he needs to pick West, not only because he would make an excellent VP, but to offset the black sheeple mentality of 85-95% of blacks voting for O because he is black.
Newt is to polite. Obama is a narcissistic asshole.
Newt is the only guy that consistently knocks it out of the park!
Here’s Newt full speech at The Cobb Chamber Of Commerce
Uh, neither does anyone else Mr. Santorum.
This shows the political brilliance of Gingrich. He knows he is going to win Georgia handily.
And, he knows Santorum could EASILY lose his home state of PA.
Therefore the "you have to win your home state" meme you have heard for him over the last couple of weeks.
Hell, Romney had trouble is BOTH of his home states:)
I think African Americans are too soaked in the propaganda that the Democrats are good for them to vote for a Republican ticket.
Thanks Newt for that accurate and straight statement !
One could also say radical incompetent as well as incompetent radical...ie he is radically incompetent AND a “radical”(leftist and pro-islamist anti-american)
