Gingrich at Fundraiser Says Obama’s ‘Already Failed’

June 9 (Bloomberg) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said President Barack Obama’s plan to fix the economy through stimulus spending and government intervention to boost companies like General Motors Corp. has “already failed.”

“Bureaucrats managing companies does not work, politicians dominating the economy does not work,” Gingrich told about 2,000 Republicans who attended a fundraising dinner at the Washington Convention Center last night.

Which one will he apologize for?

(For the record, I happen to agree with Gingrich, even though I wouldn't trust the man any further than I could throw him.)

We already knew that - we certainly don't need Gingrich to tell us the obvious. It was doomed from the start because it just doesn't work. . .

Wheel - I've never really cared for Gingrich and I certainly have no plans to vote for him.

Pretty big talk from a guy who couldn't even run his marriage.

#7 Last I checked, he's still married. The ol' Newter cheated on his wife, who divorced him. That was his second wife.

Newt first married at age 19, marrying his former high school geometry teacher. While she was recovering from surgery for uterine cancer, he allegedly went to see her with a legal pad in hand, trying to divy up the marital property and hammer out a divorce settlement. This, after she helped put him through school and his first (unsuccessful) congressional campaign. When they did divorce in 1981, he was paying her so little in support for her and their two kids, people at her church reportedly had to help support the three financially. Six months after the divorce was final, he married his second wife.

While continuing to profess "family values" and hound Clinto over the Lewinsky mess, Newter was cheating on his second wife with the woman who would become, just months after his second divorce, his third wife. The affair was reported to be occurring right around the time that Newter was leading the Congressional investigation of Clinton.

Yeah. Gingrich. Real family values kinda guy. One of many reasons why, when someone called me at my office earlier this year, looking for donations for whatever the hell Newter is up to now, that I dropped the phone because I was laughing so hard.

gingrich sold out long ago. I saw bits of his speech and it is somewhat incoherent. his "I am not a citizen of the world" speach is contrary to Reagan's almost complete antiquote.

He is desperate at this time. And his take on the supreme latina is outragous approaching wroth like

11 And apparently he's publicly claimed that Sotomayor is faking the broken ankle to garner votes for confirmation. Like the Republican party would NOT have a problem with a large voting constituency if they were viewed as being tough on a latina, but the broken ankle community would draw and quarter him. Right.

I do like newt though. his books are good reads. He also proved to be pretty smart through the whole contract with america thing. at that time the republicans were acting smart and driving the libs nuts. right now the libs are acting smart and driving the reps nuts. never thought I would see it. The reps are adrift and desperate.
