Gingrich: Obama Is As Accurate As Bernie Madoff In What He Says To American People

video
» 158 comments

In the merry-go-round of GOP presidential politics, is it about to be Newt Gingrich‘s time to take a turn as a frontrunner? Recent polls suggest that he’s on the way up, currently in a respectable third place behind an embattled Herman Cain and a tepidly-supported Mitt Romney. Perhaps more importantly, Gingrich is escalating his use of over-the-top rhetoric that will get him more attention, as he did this weekend when he likened President Obama to convicted Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff.

The comment came during a Lincoln-Douglas-style debate that Gingrich shared with Herman Cain, which proved to be more of a media circus than meaningful debate due to Cain’s recent sexual harassment allegations. In fact, the most noteworthy item that came from the debate was Cain’s blasting of the press for asking questions about the scandal surrounding him.

Gingrich drew a predictably unfavorable comparison between GOP saint Ronald Reagan and the current sitting president, though the metaphor was more focused on their respective rhetoric:

We have today a President and….compare him to Ronald Reagan who told the truth — great book called “The Education of Ronald Reagan” on lessons he learned at General Electric — compare Reagan’s ability to talk directly to the American people, make sense and have the American people move the Congress with the current president. This president is about as candid and accurate as Bernie Madoff in what he tells the American people.

Now that‘s hyperbole!

It’s easy to dismiss this sort of over-the-top political rhetoric as poetic license, but comparing President Obama with a convicted felon who bilked millions of individual investors with lies and deceit will likely only resonate with voters who have already long decided that Obama is the Worst President Ever™ no matter what evidence is presented to them, one way or the other.

    What exactly has Obama lied about?  From what I can tell republicans have lied way more than Obama during the past 3 years.

    I have tried to like this old guy, over the years, but it’s just NOT possible.  BTW his comments re no need to investigate the accusations against cain are laughable since I’m sure, gingrich headed up investigations of Mr. Clinton????

    Who fucking cares about Newt Gingrich? He’s as honest and trustworthy in his words/actions as Madoff. He’s just ripping off the same rubes who send SarahPAC money.

    Though Rick Perry said it first Newt is right and all the entitlements are a Ponzi scheme. Also, Obama lies to get what he wants passed and have money given to his cronies. See: Solyndra.

    Wow Newt selling lies as usual. 

    Recall among other things Iran/Contra – the US sold missiles to Iran, bought guns with the profits and then
    sent the guns to Central America to support to support a terror war
    against peasants in the countryside there.

    The guns were paid for with cocaine processed by the so-called
    Contra which was then shipped to the US and sold wholesale to a criminal
    organization based in Los Angeles that was largely responsible for
    spreading crack cocaine throughout the nation in the 1980s.

    That is right Ronnie said he would negotiate with terrorists – he did of course.  He also went on tee vee and lied about that fact even after it was known.  You can go to 1:51 of this to check it out

    —————————————————————————-

    He compared the HONESTY of the two, Colby!

    Newt is 100% correct.

    This is the most corrupt President and Administration in recent history.
    They’ve shown their willingness to LIE ABOUT ANYTHING – and blatantly channel taxpayer dollars to their supporters and contributors in true qui-pro-quo fashion!

    The GOP should juxtapose this carnival barker’s CLAIMS and PROMISES with the reality of what transpires – and flood the country with these ads, exposing the duplicity and corruption that is today’s Democratic Party!

  • Norbit

    And brought us the best economy we’d seen in years!

    Clinton was impeached for the proven felony he committed - perjury!

    You are just spewing some cheap smear you’ve heard about Newt’s personal life – which obviously did not effect his efficacy in governing; nor, with no legal hazard involved, should it be any of your or my business!

    That is the most newsworthy item from the clowns who have no interest whatsoever in the substance of the debate, but only care about soundbites and gossip and carrying water for Democrats.

    I’ll chime in with transparency; picking union winners over auto-dealers; halting oil production here, then giving $1 Billion to Brazil, which funnelled that money into an oil company SOROS had recently invested in; enforcing laws against Az. and Alabama, claiming they interfere with Fed authority – but allowing SANCTUARY CITIES across the country to continue operating, unchallenged…

    Just off the top of my head.

    By far, this is the most contemptuous, dishonest and corrupt administration in recent history.
    These people usurp power, they have no real respect for Democracy.

    I’m going to guess that people who comment on threads about Newt Gingrich care about Newt Gingrich, especially the angry ones.

    An angry conservative couldnt recognize Obama´s policies, even if it was a tattooed on them.

    Because a conservative voter did not vote for Obama neither did they vote for Obama´s policies,
    so they should not come and lecture about Obama, and how he failed all his policies.

    they wanted John Mccain and Sarah Bimbo which America rejected..
    and ever since then they been crying and crying throwing every accusation in the book after Obama, wishing impeachment… only in their fantasies..

    Yeah, I like how Barry blames Bush for how Wall Street ran wild with profits.

    Oh no, ya lose again, lying Barry:

    “Wall Street’s resurgent prosperity frustrates its claims, and Obama’s”

    “During Obama’s tenure, Wall Street has roared back, even as the broader economy has struggled.
      The largest banks are larger than they were when Obama took office and are nearing the level of profits they were making before the depths of the financial crisis in 2008, according to government data.
    Wall Street firms — independent companies and the securities-trading arms of banks — are doing even better. They earned more in the first 2 and one half years of the Obama administration than they did during the eight years of the George W. Bush administration, industry data show.”http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/wall-streets-resurgent-prosperity-frustrates-its-claims-and-obamas/2011/10/25/gIQAKPIosM_story.html?hpid=z1Poor Barry- the Liar-In-Chief!

    Then he told the country that WASN’T his intention!

    The right wing loves Reagan. He was a liar. Remember the Iran Contra lie.
    I am always amazed when Oliver North and Mark Furhman (sic) are allowed to be on FOX NEWS.
    I would like to add that Bill O’Reilly settled a sexual harassment suit a few years ago.
    Herman Cain’s accusers will not get the same money.

    That’s a great idea!  Thanks!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy#Race

    “Historically, in countries such as the U.S. and South Africa, “boy” was not only a ‘neutral’ term for domestics but also used as a disparaging racist insult
    towards men of colour (especially of African descent), recalling their
    subservient status even after the 20th century legal emancipation (from
    slavery, evolved to race segregation, viz. Apartheid)
    and alleged infantility, and many still consider it offensive in that
    context to this day since it denotes that men of colour (especially of
    African descent) are less than men or no better than an animal. For
    example a simple command for a dog would be, “Come here boy!”

    “Who could you compare Obama to, there has been no one else that has stolen as much?”

    You’re not really a political consultant are you?  If you are successful, you should recruit some posters from Mediaite.  There are tons of people on here who, like you, say stupid, hyperbolic, crazy, baseless, things on here all day.  Maybe you could expand your office and give some jobs to the jobless?

    As soon as we open those Federal Reserve books. 20 some trillion dollars were funneled to banks and countries around the world.

    Do a little research instead of running your liberal piehole and you will know that most of it was “crony” payoffs.
    Libs are so ignorant.

    The Fed is not the executive. Trillions in emergency “loans” can be criticized but are not “theft”. The lending began in 2007. The details do not support your claim… call me unsurprised.

    Just because Bush was GOP doesn’t make him any better or worse than Obama.
    Both suck.

    No you did not.  You demonstrated confusion about the details of the stimulus and finished with a false assertion.  Nothing you wrote can be considered description of “where it went”.  Again, you devote more words to insult than political insight.  I have noticed this correlation with others on the right.  Very discouraging for those of us dedicated to legitimate discussion.

    Do you think he gave Cain any tips on how to get his
    secretary to service him on the back seat of his car?  Word is he advised Cain that he could have
    avoided all of these problems by just divorcing his wife and marrying the
    chick.  Sanctity of marriage does have its limits.

    Bernie Madoff made a lot of money and also screwed a lot of people out of their money with his ponzi scheme. If you don’t know about the Madoff Ponzi scheme, this article gives a great explanation on it.

    My feeling is that Newt is going to be the most entertaining of all these stooges as he steps up to the plate. He’s a bit past his prime, but his prime was truly awful. Who can forget his manly attempts to shut down the government, and his brilliant hypocrisy as he attacked and impeached Clinton for his pecadillios while he himself was being truly despicable to his soon to be ex who was in a cancer ward. I haven’t followed this clown’s activities of late but I have no doubt there’s a richness of richnesses that will keep us laughing for many months. As twisted as Gingrich is, he is a clever guy and, obviously, has a way with women!  When it comes to values, morality and commonsense I am utterly amazed at rightwingers complete lack thereof. Do you realize that behind Obama, there are at least 10-20 Democrats who qualify as presidential material. Romney and, of course, Huntsman are the closest you’ll come to someone who could actually be President. And, of course, Obama, is the worst President ever, etc

  • Anonymous

    I’m not sure what you mean by dirty money, but all the Obama dollars were spend  to bail out all the Bush failed policies.

    You said “2012 – We take the whole enchilada – Presidency, Senate & House!”

    I have a hard time believing even people like you Norbit would want to fall back to some of the failed Bush policies.  As an example cutting taxes to th wealthy to create jobs.  We tried that in 2003 and have been losing jobs every since. Many to off shore locations.  Reduced regulations.  We been there with Bush resulting in a financial meltdown the size of the great depression.  Reduce regulations on deep water drilling. Been there with Bush resulted in one of the biggest spills in history.  Do you want me to go on, because I have a bunch.

    Newt said “This president is about as candid and accurate as Bernie Madoff in what he tells the American people”.

    Newt don’t throw Reagan at me.  Reagan played one of the biggest shell games with tax increases in history.  It was called Reagonomics or some called it Voodo economics.  Newt you are at master at spinning issues.  Newt why did you resign ?  Didn’t you have something to do with attempting to take out Clinton which exploded in your face and very unpopular move with the American people.

    When St Ron was elected, the US had a 600 billion national debt. After 2 world wars, the original revolution, the great depression, Vietnam, Korea, the war among the states, etc……………….only 600 billion.
    Once we were done being trickled down on, and he left office, it was over 2 trillion.

    Wait….Newt Gingrich is accusing the President of being dishonest? Newt? Really?
