I didn’t take this as Newt comparing himself to Washington. Some people do not have the extra-deluxe super-egos we’ve long ago grown tired of.
Instead, I took this video as a direct response to those who say WE THE PEOPLE cannot have a real impact in this election.
Sure, Newt wants us to vote for him. But he interwove a terrific history lesson with a plea to not accept the status quo.
Newt’s got my vote!
Newt is a candidate for president. So he must be compared to Washington. And yes, to Obama. The latter is all that is necessary. The former is too but not as much.
