Gingrich called Obama a false president, saying he has a propensity to shirk his duties.
This is a man who in an age of false celebrity-hood is sort of the perfect president, because hes a false president, he said. Hes a guy that doesnt do the presidents job.
Gingrich questioned whether Obama has the stamina and desire to be president.
You have to wonder what hes doing, Gingrich continued. Im assuming that theres some rhythm to Barack Obama that the rest of us dont understand. Whether he needs large amounts of rest, whether he needs to go play basketball for a while or watch ESPN, I mean, I dont quite know what his rhythm is, but this is a guy that is a brilliant performer as an orator, who may very well get reelected at the present date, and who, frankly, he happens to be a partial, part-time president.

The most filibustered President in history works full time to get an obstructionist Congress to work in the best interest of the entire country instead of the exclusive interests of self important, extreme, and greedy factions.
The reality is that this is the most blatant "part time" Congress in my lifetime. Truth!
Newt Gingrich is a part time husband, father, campaigner, and thinker. He is, however, a full time "Newt" merchandiser and influence peddler.
The only reason I would buy one of his books is if the local store was out of toilet paper.
What a complete ass.

(37,648 posts)"He's not one of us." He's black...note that his rhythm is different. He also plays basketball.
It's code to the white, mainly male, conservative audience.

(It's okay, if you're a WHITE President!)
Honestly, Newt DARES to criticize Obama when we know Bushie went to bed at 9pm, took mid-day naps and gym breaks AND spent a THIRD of his term ON VACATION???
Newt is one racist, amnesiac POS.

... or maybe he's too stupid to remember it himself?
... or too much of a racist to notice that this description doesn't fit the current President, but fits the former one to a tee?
What a vile little man.

(36,437 posts)It drives the racist in Gingrich crazy that Obama is the well-respected president while Gingrich is the "disgraced" Congressman.
It's hilarious. Hey Gingrich, Obama can actually win elections, unlike your lazy ass that got schooled by know-nothing dimwit Mitt Romney!

(3,489 posts)I mean this. I associate with Republicans. They are fucking stupid. They seem to make a living as lawyers and businessmen but I swear they are all fucking brainless. Or maybe their brains work in a different way. They are normal in some ways. They have a basic appreciation for taxpayer funded education and health care, but then the republican memes take over. And yes, they hate black people and they hate the President because he is black. Pretend that isn't so and you are deluding yourself. Fuck they're stupid.
Excuse my language.
