I think it was an attack on Newt for continually bringing the Alinsky thing up on a regular basis. I think the WH is very upset that Obummers background is being brought up this election cycle unlike the pass the GOP gave him in ‘08 thanks to McLame.
Yes, I think it was targeted at Newt, who probably was up to all kinds of lecherous deeds at that time. But Newt and the Republican PTB (Powers That Be) should know that most Americans would rather have a serial adulterer than a traitorous Marxist in the White House.
