Newt Gingrich: President Obama Golfs To Take His Mind Off Being An 'Incompetent Radical'

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Newsmax TV’s “America’s Forum” talk show this week to weigh in on Republican victories in the midterm elections.

After host J.D. Hayworth, a former Arizona congressman, asked Gingrich how he “as a historian” sees Obama, Gingrich predictably launched into a tirade against President Obama’s policies, particularly the Affordable Care Act, and what he sees as the impending failure of the Democrats in the next election cycle. Gingrich blamed President Obama’s supposed mishandling of issues like Ebola and ISIS on the fact that the president is both radical and incompetent.

“I think he is the most radical president in American history. But what makes it fascinating is he is incompetent and radical,” he said. “You’re really running a big risk if you’re both incompetent and radical. I think in a lot of ways you’re seeing someone who is in over his head.”

His gross incompetence, Gingrich explains, is why Obama “goes and golfs because that way at least he doesn’t have to think about it.” So, just as Obama is simultaneously a feeble, “apathetic” leader and a power-hungry “dictator,” he is brazenly implementing his radical policies while also so painfully incompetent that he can’t effectively implement those policies.

Or every other president who did so?

Which actually makes me ask the question I've had in mind for quite a while: why is it required that Presidents golf? What is so sacred about that sport?

His jaw must be so exhausted. Either food is coming in or lies are coming out. His jaw must never get a rest!

Implemented a benign policy regulating companies like GE or Alcoa not destroy places real people live is considered "radical" to these right-wing assholes.
