Newt Gingrich: ‘If Obama Is Re-Elected, It Will Be A Disaster For The U.S.’

video
» 52 comments

Despite finishing second in the Florida GOP primary, Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich remained determined to stay in the race, and came after President Obama strong in his speech to supporters. “If Barack Obama gets re-elected, it will be a disaster for the United States of America, make no bones about it,” Gingrich declared. “If he can have a record this bad, unemployment this bad, deficits this bad, policies this bad, gasoline prices this high, and still get re-elected, you can’t imagine how radical he’ll be in his second term.”

Gingrich also reacted to President Obama singing Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together’ at The Apollo in Harlem.

“I tell you up front, I”m not going to compete with Obama in singing because i’m not running for Entertainer-in-Chief, i’m running for president!” Gingrich exclaimed. “And I would say to him now, Mr. President, you cannot sing your way past the disaster of your presidency!”

    Sour Grapes appear to be flourishing and very much in season with Newt Gingrich…

    …It’s like getting a zero degree cold shower, after a dirty and scrappy mud slinging fight!

    Newt should add that if he HIMSELF is elected, it will ALSO be a disaster for the US.

  • Anonymous

    If Newt was a disaster , it must have been Bill Clinton’s personal power of persuasion, that got the deficit under control. That makes Obama look disastrously week compared to Clinton!

  • Centrist79

    Disaster is getting your butt kicked and talking about being President. His total lack of awareness is Trump like.

    Historical disgrace with Stepford Wife looking on
    ____________________
    Resigned In Disgrace

    Gather round all you children, gather round, hear this story
    About the fall of a politician at the height of his glory
    He resigned in disgrace
    Now he’s back in the race
    And if we fall for his lies, it’s America’s Momento Mori.

    Let’s hark back to the year 1994
    When Republicans won like they hadn’t before
    He was Speaker of the House
    (and a horrible spouse!)
    But his ethics were something no one could ignore.

    In those days the Congress just did as they please
    Graft and check kiting were a rampant disease.
    They wrote bad checks
    And had scurrilous sex
    Without fear of sanction from the authorities.

    Now our subject, the Speaker, was quite the hypocrite
    He campaigned against corruption, while reveling in it.
    He took the bold stance
    To audit Congress’s finance
    And that’s where Newt Gingrich, stepped in his own $#!+.

    The Ethics Committee looked into Speaker Newt
    To try to find out how he fenced all his loot.
    They saw thousands of pages
    Of Gingrich outrages
    And when they asked why, the Speaker lied, or went mute.

    There were lots of skeletons in Newt’s accounting trunk.
    The more they dug into it, the more that it stunk!
    But Congress sanctions their own
    When they’re bad to the bone
    ‘Cause if they didn’t, Newt would be a cell block punk!

    Newt got slapped on the wrist with a $300,000 fine
    For his multiple scams that were over the line.
    It was “intentional and reckless”,
    Newt had proven himself feckless,
    And after the next election, he was forced to resign.

    It’s hard to imagine the size of the balls it would take
    To run for the Presidency as ethics sanctioned snake.
    He needs to be scorned,
    And now you’re forewarned
    That nominating Newt would be a disastrous mistake!

    Signs of a desperate man: Gingrich, on the other hand, launched himself into the Romney juggernaut with a level of fury and desperation certain to produce uneasiness in the GOP for its poisonous tone. Gingrich is losing traction and is out of control. Bigotry and prejudice hiding behind the “Conservative” mantra. The conservatives want control at any cost. Hiding behind this title the TEA party wants to control you and your thoughts. They protest taxes which pays for a multitude of programs they deem unnecessary, in-effective or not allowed by the constitution. The try to shield their actions under limited government while allowing others to impose their strict religious beliefs. They want no controls over monies, schooling, curriculum and even isolationism. These guys want to grab and hold onto patriotism as their own and no one else can claim it. Birthers began immediately after Barack Obama began his run for the nomination. There is so much hatred for the fact that a black man won the presidency and even more than he has been effective even with the constant barrage of toxic talk. They have challenged in states and courts where TEA parties are most in control. The TEA parties ranks have remained steady and have offered their own candidates rather than meld into the mainstream Republican party. The Wall Street movement have brought to light the concentration of money in the hand of fewer and fewer people and the concentration of power in fewer more conservative people. The continued slurring of president Obama is contained in posts to inflame the people. Here’s an open call to open your minds and realize this man has been good for the country and shown to the world all Americans are equal, even with the constant drumbeat of political hacks and opposition leaders.

    Spoken like a true partisan hack,
    You’re so willing to cut him some slack,

    Seriously, what has Gingrich said that’s in the least bit controversial?  4 more years of Obama will be a disaster. The four years we got were a disaster.

    I think it was Clinton’s ability.
    Obama will be much better in his second term. The rest of the Dems chickened out just before the mid-terms, and they will gain renewed courage as Obama wipes the floor with Romney.

    Speaker Gingrich, you’ve already established the kind of disaster you will be for the US.

  • Anonymous

    Well, it actually hasn’t been 4 years yet. And President Obama, despite the 100% obstructionism from Congress, has managed to turn this ship away from financial disaster, and has been extremely effective as Commander in Chief. I’d say Obama’s a very successful, very intelligent man.

  • Anonymous

    If Gingrich gets elected, it will be the end of the US.

  • Anonymous

    Obstructionism? He had the Democrats in control for the first 2 of his years.  His first two moves were to spend almost $2 trillion dollars on the stimulus which was payback and went mainly to the government sector, so stimulated nothing, and followed up with Obamacare which 60% of the country did not want which according to the GAO will cost much more than Obama said it would and not be close to deficit neutral.  We are close to having 50% of the country receiving some kind of assistance from the federal government, most of that 50% doesn’t pay taxes. Exactly what metrics are you using to say that he has been successful?  He is openly hostile to the private sector and thinks the way to help people is not to get the economy going so more people are working and paying taxes, but to simply take it from one group to give to another.  Seriously one could go on and on.

    Yeah! Newt because Obama is Hitler, Lenin, and Stalin rolled into one. It takes all of Washington to run the country into the ground, which is what has been happening for at least the last 30 years, but, the last 10 in particular. You may get the idiots who think a president has absolute power, but it takes our entire culture and mentality to run it into the ground.

    He’s already a disaster!

    He’s a pampered, self-serving Marxist (born & raised) who’s spends trillions of taxpayer dollars on his “social justice” redistribution of wealth to HIS SUPPORTERS.

    He sports the same self-aggrandizing character as monarchs like Mubarak, Chavez and Assad – all peas in a pod!

    The problem for Obama now, is that his leeching, parasitic supporters can only feed at the government trough until the taxpayer money runs out – and it’s OUT!

    Now let’s see how far the OWS thugs and their Democratic Party supporters can take their Marxist Revolution!

    Newt is talking about a movement to THWART THEM!

    NEWT!

    NEWT!

    NEWT!

    I used Mubarak, Chavez & Assad, because like those monarchs, Obama also hates most of the people he governs over.

    It’s good to see more and more people are on to his duplicitous schtick!

    A pubey going by Royal Court Jester
    Had anger that he couldn’t sequester
    So he penned a tired rhyme
    That attempted to slime
    The doggerel writing neocon molester.

    But he could only put together one verse
    ‘Cause his poesy skills were quite terse
    He wrote just one rhyme
    Only one at a time
    Which makes his skills only seem worse.

    He’s incapable of contiguous thought.
    It’s a skill that just can not be taught.
    A mere one stanza tome
    Isn’t really a poem
    So his efforts have all been for naught.

    Like him or not, his statement is as true as true can be. It will be terrible the US.

    He Obama) sure has pissed off a huge bloc (Catholics) by telling them to pay for  birth control through Obamacare and other religions are joining forces with Catholics to stop this abomination. (I haven’t heard anything from the Muslims yet…nor do I expect to…they think killing family members is an honor thing…killing them before they’re born just makes it easier).

    ____________________________
    The Slimy Newt

    A slimy neocon who calls himself Newt
    Always plays the globalist skin flute
    He gets on his knees
    And does what they please
    While lining his pockets with their loot.

    With women, Newt’s always a smooth dancer
    “Upgrade ‘em often!” is his standard answer
    Which caused him, of course
    To present his divorce
    To his first wife as she lay dying of cancer.

    Speaker Gingrich didn’t give a hoot
    For his family when he gave ‘em the boot
    He came up short,
    Never paying child support
    For the entire duration of the dispute.

    Next Newt married a girl named Marianne
    Whom he quickly decided to can
    When she got a diagnosis
    Of Multiple Sclerosis
    Which threw a wrench in his political plan.

    You see, Ol’ Newt had been hopin’
    His marriage could be sexually open
    But Marianne said “No way!
    It’ll be a cold day
    If you think i’ll OK your page gropin’ ”

    Before Marianne announced she was sick
    Newt was boning his aide, Callista Bisek
    While Callista played Newt’s harmonica
    He blasted Bill for gettin’ a Monica
    ‘Cause hypocrisy has always been Newt’s schtick.

  • Anonymous

    If a Republican is elected President there wll be many sorry voters. It has been projected that if a Republican is elected there will be another civil war in 2014.
    They want to restrict voting rights, roll back civil rights, undermine womens rights, privatize social security which will cost the taxpayer more and seniors will get less. And, they want to repeal health care and they oppose bargaining rights for workers. They will support a bill that would preclude bargaining for wages and benefits.

    It should be obvious, even to the most brain dead leftists, that Obama is a total failure as a leader!  If you Love America and out Culture, vote for someone beside Obambi!  If you Hate America and everything we stand for, vote for Obama, because he feels the same!

  • Anonymous

    Dear friend, Obama WILL be re-elected, and will proceed to complete the collapse of the U.S.  Yes you did…and will again, then kiss America goodbye.  Sadly, it is only then when you and your ilk will realize how you have been duped, after you come out of your stupor from asking…”what happened to our country?”.  You have learned nothing from history!!!!
