I have never forgiven Newt for siding with the Left as personified by Pelosi in the fraud of "Climate Change," formerly known as "Global Warming." This kind of thinking is destroying America's strength to be energy independent on oil, natural gas, and coal.
Newt did speak out early in 2009 against Obama, who referred to himself as a "citizen of the world." However, of late he has not been on the attack. Newt needs to go back to the classroom and lecture there if he wants. He is not a leader.
