Who would you trust to get real information about the government or country, a freeper or Obama?
Newt was not on his vacation in an official capacity for the government of the US so there was no reason for him to meet with any member of the Greek government. There was every reason and opportunity to talk to the people of Greece while he was there.
And these anecdotal chats gave Newt a new, profound understanding of the global economy?
What a crock.
