Gingrich: For Laughing with Enemies Before He Was Against It?

Maybe Gingrich would like to lace Orinco with some cruise missiles. Why does anybody take this guy seriously after his affair while trying to impeach Clinton.

the difference is reagan got them to join him, but obable is joining these nut cases

Apparently former Speaker Gingrich would rather continue a demonstrably failed us vs. them stance with any nation whose leader voices disagreement with U.S. policies in general, and especially with U.S. policies vis a' vis his particular country. Continuing the adversarial foreign policy practiced particularly by the GW Bush administration, but also by the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations will be of no benefit to the U.S. in the 21st Century. The world is a much smaller place than it was 30 years ago. It's one thing to "reach out and touch
someone" via the Red Phone back in the Reagan era than launch rockets into back yards as is done by some these days. Americans are wonderful people -- mostly open, generous with time and money, patriotic and hard working, BUT, as a nation we shove under the rug those nasty parts of our history -- mass denial, especially by those prominent in legislating for and administering our government. It's refreshing to extend a hand rather than shake a fist at those who don't like us, with or without a reason. Let's see if speaking softly rather than bluster will move relationships ahead. Keep in mind that GW Bush's legacy of 2 active wars and faltering economy has left us with a considerably smaller "stick" than we had before.

Huh, my point exactly. Gingrich is nothing but a male "w" with a mind that memorizes documents then spits them out for his and Tom DeLay's convenience.

I look forward in going to visit Cuba as an American citizen. The island is beautiful and we Americans owned Cuba then gave the country its freedom in the 1930s. Therefore, since we have Jim Crow Laws in America, especially the state of Georgia, we shouldn't beat up Cuba for their Human Rights issues since we have our own.

I am confident that Obama can do nothing right as far as the conservatives right wingers are concerned.

The just want to muck of the waters and keep their base confused and angered so that will not take the time to read the initiatives Obama proposes.

READ PEOPLE READ. MOST OF YOU ARE GETTING A TAX CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS SPENDING TO PUT SOMEONE YOU KNOW BACK TO WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS INVESTING IN THE COUNTRY OF YOUR CHILDREN !!!!!!!!!!

I am getting the eeeerie that this has nothing .... absolutely nothing to do with Obama's policies.

Only certain folks are slamming him.

talk me down ..... please....

Gingrich is a hypocrite.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong. But did not Newt go to the hospital room where his wife was fighting for her life and tell her that he was divorcing her for a younger woman? That is the kind of man giving moral lessons?

Newt is the biggest hypoccrite in the USA.He had his own mistress while chastising Clinton.Before that he had an affair with a college professors wife! Now he's whining because Obama shook hands with Chavez. Spokesman for the GOP, the party of no.Now that's anti American!

These are not the same things we're
talking about!
Reagan did not pose for pictures with
Gorbachev showing the two men
embracing and laughing.
President Obama did pose laughing
with Chavez!
President Reagan telling a private
joke to Gorbachev when they were
alone is not the same thing. Duh!
The joke also include an unveiled
dig at Gorby.

One of the many differences between Reagan/Gorbachev and Obama/Chavez is that Reagan only met with Gorbachev after a great deal of groundwork had been laid by staffers in a carefully staged arena and at a time when Gorbachev had clearly shown that the Soviets were willing to move in a more liberal direction with Perestroika while Reagan continued to take a hard line approach. A week ago Chavez was calling Obama "ignorant". Yesterday they were high fiving one another. The more appropriate approach would have been to insist on an apology prior to entertaining niceties with that socialist clown rather than letting him crowd in and glad hand you, getting the big PR win. You know Chavez will get a hell of a lot more positive response from his people than Obama will from this encounter.

Gingritch is the type who would who would destroy his own mother if that would get him in the news ! He's an idiot if he believes that by being friendly to everyone means that Obama is "joining them" ( meaning our enemies). I'm glad Obama is showing that he is a good man, stands for justice and decries inhumanity but he can still be civil -- even frienfly and show what a good leader should be. Bush was anarrogant soul who brought out the worst in people with his arrogant ways. Obama is NOT naieve - he's down to earth and honest. Washington doesn't know how to deal with honesty - they'd better lern tio be honest them selve. Don't give Gingritch and more media time !

Hehe........they're 'floundering' like a dying fish. Old Newt still living in the "cold war" ages. Hey, stupid I smile at my adversaries Every day. And I READ them EVERY DAY! Does that make me weak? No, I need something from them! Unintelligent stupid, bald old idiots.....you have no game.

sngeorgia:
Personal insults aren't necessary to
make a point.
I guess since you have no facts to
back up your opinions all you can do
is hurl insults.

Gee Newt,
Maybe President Obama should have just told President Chavez to go screw himself and then turn away without shaking his hand.
That's a great ice breaker, and a sure fire way to get people to see things your way. He missed a golden opportunity to make Dubya proud of him.

Hey Reagan fan. Aren't you supposed to be praying to your messiah Reagan today? Newt doesn't have facts to back up his opinion and all he can do is hurl insults.
