Dr. Milton R. Wolf: ‘Mitt beat Rick, but Newt beat Barack.
Only one Republican has made Obama squirm’
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/8/mitt-beat-rick-but-newt-beat-barack/
“While the mainstream media stayed focused on the game of checkers between Mr. Romney and Mr. Santorum, Mr. Gingrich forced President Obama into an astonishing game of chess.
In a 30-minute video titled “$2.50 per Gallon Gasoline, Energy Independence and Jobs,” Mr. Gingrich unveiled his vision for renewed American prosperity centered around oil and natural-gas production. He demonstrated his unparalleled insight into the intersection of energy, security and prosperity. Mr. Gingrich rightly declared that never again should an American president bow before a Saudi king. Meanwhile, Mr. Obama, stung by his recent half-billion-dollar failed Solyndra boondoggle, began floating his latest green fantasy of harvesting algae to cure the pain at the pump.
Panicked by Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Obama was forced off his game and repeatedly tried to respond, only making matters worse for himself. He stayed true to the Democrats’ anti-energy agenda and mocked Republicans for wanting to drill for new oil. This made the president the butt of a joke for Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show”: Democrats claim that new drilling for oil won’t help us for at least 10 years, but haven’t they been saying that now for more than 10 years?
Mr. Obama boasts that oil production is up under his administration. True, but only because the president hasn’t yet stopped production on privately owned land. Mr. Gingrich cut right through his profound dishonesty: “Under President Obama, because he is so anti-American-energy, we have actually had a 40 percent reduction in development of oil offshore, and we have had a 40 percent reduction in the development of oil on federal lands,” Mr. Gingrich pounced. “So in the area he controls, production is down and the area that is hard at the free enterprise stuff where people get rich, production is up. So he is now claiming credit for the area he can’t control in order to have us think he is actually for what he opposes.”
Readers’ comments to Dr.Wolf’s article:
Steve_Flesher: “Newt is the only FIGHTER! I am tired of hearing Romney and Santorum supporters say he’s bombastic and narcissistic. OBAMA IS THE ULTIMATE NARCISSIST! We don’t need Pat Sajak to win an election.
Sending Santorum or Romney in to face Obama would be like sending an ill prepared soldier into war.
The country is mad at Obama. Gingrich is the only one who brilliantly transcends that into words.”
OsamaObama: “WHY isn’t Newt the leading candidate?! I know that he misstepped by returning fire on the nastiness of the Mittens campaign, but he is by FAR the best of the four candidates! I do like Santorum, but I just don’t know if he can win against 0BowMao. I think we need an absolutely brilliant fighter against the hyperbole of the Hussein machine. Mittens will NEVER repeal 0bamacare, and he is NOT a Conservative! I mean, this cat just made a statement that he “will do everything in his power to preserve the progressive tax code!” I mean, if you’re a Tea Party voter, then Mittens will NOT work to create a flat or fair tax. EVERYTHING about Romney is establishment/RINO Republican. That is precisely the type of Republican that has compromised and “played nicely” with the ‘RATs and gotten us into $16TRILLION in debt! Newt is an outside-the-box thinker. That is what we need!”
taxpayer_2: “Absolutely correct and this is why I support Newt Gingrich, after having gone into seizures about his personal life. I had to decide what’s worse, Newt’s personal baggage or Romneycare and the latter won hands down. I have come to the conclusion the only candidate that can beat Odumbo is Gingrich. Period. This election is about getting O out and we will lose if Romney is crowned by GOP. Like a fool, Romney is playing right into the left media..”oh..I like honey nut cheerios and honey chex”...really?... I want to watch Gingrich vs Obumba and his media. Who cares about cereal or if one can pronounce ‘ya’ll’.
Great article Dr Wolf!”
