I think Newt missed a good chance to turn things back to Obama. He should have brought up Obama’s eagerness to treat this or that group of Americans as the enemy (big oil, wall street, bible toting gun clingers, ...).

No way this guy was there to support Gingrich, he was there to make a scene, maybe get on tv.

And for the record, I am quite unhappy that our current president does not support; Americans, American ideals, American business, American Taxpayers, American Citizens, The Constitution...

Do I get a pity party now?

"I asked him if he’s elected, how does he plan to engage gay Americans. How are we to support him? And he told me to support Obama," Arnold told the newspaper.

Sounds like a paraphrase. Perhaps Newt said, "I'm not going to represent gay Americans as if they were different from any other Americans. If you want a president who will follow the Constitution and reduce the size of government so that the private sector can create jobs, then I'm your man, but if you want someone who divides the country into special interest groups with special rights for each group, then you should probably support Obama." In that case, Newt's answer was what I want my president to think, and I personally don't have a problem with him saying it. The real question: what was the rest of Newt's answer?

FINALLY! Well said, Mr. Gingrich. I think he’s figured out that you can’t pander to the pillow-biters and expect to keep the conservative vote.

Lessee here, a Muslim writer bashing Newt for supposed anti-gay speech?

Muslims behead gays.

I guess the old saying holds: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

I wasn't there but I can say categorically that this statement is a lie. The man likely tried to get Newt to state if he would off push for special rights for rights for gays and then Newt said he would be better off supporting Obama.

“When you ask somebody a question and you expect them to support all Americans and have everyone’s general interest,” Arnold said. “It’s a little bit frustrating and disheartening when you’re told to support the other side, that he doesn’t need your support.”

kind of like when obama told white working class males to go pound sand.

Has the New York Daily News recently hired ex-NYT lefty “journalists” or is this simply the product of the inclusive progressive RINOs who think true conservatives should welcome gays and such with open arms? =.=
