Gingrich Blasts Obama's Planned Bus Tour on Jobs
Source: KCRG

TIFFIN, Iowa (AP) — GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is criticizing President Barack Obama's plan to take a three-day bus tour through the Midwest to discuss the economy.

The former House speaker told a Republican Party dinner in Iowa on Friday that Obama should act like a president and focus on governing rather than going on a campaign-style tour. He said Obama could call Congress into special session to pass better economic policies.

Gingrich called the tour "an insult to the intelligence of every American" that will not create a single job.

And tomorrow if the President were to walk on freaking water ol' Newtie would get his marauding patriotic man parts in a twist about how the President can't swim.

11. Good news: The first wife did NOT die.
She lives to fight another day, and to be glad she can't so much as see Newt Gingrich in her rear view mirror.

But your point that Newt Gingrich has zero credibility is well taken.

6. And Gingrich should act like a has-been and focus on slinking back under his rock
rather than going on a campaign-style rant.

12. Meanwhile, Newt will be busy that week shopping at Tiffany's to create jobs.
Edited on Sat Aug-06-11 02:29 PM by Faygo Kid
He doesn't want to do it, but loving his country so much has exhausted him and caused him to shop in inappropriate ways.

14. Yuk Gingrich!
But if Mr. O has a jobs program, how about passing it and funding it before he does the bus tour. Because it's near impossible to believe anything he says.

15. gingrich hit up the local republican party for 50,000 in speakers fees.
he also made them pay for two first class tickets for him and his wife.

it`s just about bankrupted the local party.

i don`t think any republican in my part of illinois will ever vote for him.

17. What policies?
Edited on Sat Aug-06-11 04:38 PM by high density
If Gingrich has a magic bullet "policy" to fix the economy, let us know. Tax cuts and free trade are not it.
