Newt Gingrich bloviating on CNN, sez Obama's speech was a mistake.

[Avalux]

Gingrich claims FDR would have not given this speech, and is sick of this president and his allies.

Does anyone here want to agree with him?

1. If Newt Gingrich is unhappy

Then I'm delighted.

[JoePhilly]

2. Newt's angry we aren't bombing the moon, and declaring him

Lunar President.

[Llewlladdwr]

3. I don't know if it was a mistake...

but it certainly didn't change my mind regarding use of military force in Syria.

I'm agin it.

4. Well, of course he is.

That's the only song the repubs know.

5. Say what you want about Newt

but he isn't wrong, that was one of the most irrelevant "major" speeches I have ever seen.

[Whisp]

6. if you 'see' speeches...

maybe your ears are irrelevant.

[Llewlladdwr]

8. Really?

Why the hate dude?

7. Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.

Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time.
Round about the cauldron go.
In the poison'd entrails throw.

9. Guess he missed this?

Since he wasn't even born...

There is no demand for sending an American Expeditionary Force outside our own borders. There is no intention by any member of your Government to send such a force. You can, therefore, nail any talk about sending armies to Europe as deliberate untruth.

Our national policy is not directed toward war. Its sole purpose is to keep war away from our country and our people.

Of course FDR went further by having the U.S. ratchet up munitions manufacturing for Europe's military.

10. I'm sure there's some on here who are as confused

as gingrich about PBO's speech. They can't keep up.

How touching that gingrich is into FDR. rofl

[Skittles]

11. why is Newt Gingrich considered relevant in any way?

I mean, seriously

[shireen]

12. one of these days, he'll generate so much hot air that

he'll pop. ... that's the closest smilie i could find to a popping balloon.

13. Newt is an historian?

Did I hear Newt say on CNN that he is an historian? ,,,also that he is sick and tired of the Democrats "lying about history." Did he say that?
I have a BA in History and an MA in American Studies. If Newt is an historian then I am a 76 year-old Chippendale dancer.

[Avalux]

14. Haha! Well, he does have a PhD in history.

And people say he isn't shy about telling everyone in the room that fact, then proceeding to prove just how much historical knowledge he has tucked away in that giant noggin of his. Unfortunately, his recounts of history are often full of errors.

He's arrogant, obnoxious, and wrong.
