HAMILTON, Ohio Newt Gingrich avoided criticizing Rush Limbaugh for publicly assailing Sandra Fluke over her testimony to Congress advocating for health insurance companies to cover birth control, but he was quick to attack President Obama, saying he acted opportunistically when he called the Georgetown Law student to express his disappointment in Limbaughs comments.
I think the president will opportunistically do anything he can, Gingrich said after a rally at the Back Porch Saloon. I think the most important use of language in the last week has been the presidents apology to religious fanatics, and I want to stay focused on what the president has said, and I think what he said was inexcusable and is exactly the wrong policy at a time of life and death, and playing political games is irrelevant as far as Im concerned.
After Limbaugh took to his radio show and called Fluke a slut for her stance on contraception, Obama phoned the woman Friday afternoon to extend his support.
Asked if thinks contraception will continue to be an issue in the presidential campaign, Gingrich said the problem is infringement on religious liberty, not contraception.
Its about the attack on the Catholic Church and the attack on every right to life institution and whether or not the government has the power to dictate to religious organizations, he said.

I voted for all of Perry’s delegates and all of Gingrich’s delegates here in Tennessee. I hope it helped.
I hope so too.
I have got about 6 others at work to go with me. Their job is to keep it going.
This tells me why Newt is the person who can deal with what we all are about ready to endure from the left. It puts everything in prespective while many of us go back and forth in trying to get above the noise. Newt is the president that we need.
Limbaugh was a fool. Unable to resist his talent for ridicule, he fell right into the trap Obama and Pelosi had laid for him: instead of keeping his eye on the ball — freedom of religion — he bought into the Obama narrative that this is all about contraception and access thereto. Rush screwed up and is going to be paying a big price. He let the rest of us down too.
I was just pointing out this small facet of it.
These people are relentless.
Go Newt Go!
I can’t believe Obama is admitting he is now calling sluts... Amazing.
