Gingrich: No Pensions For Presidents Who Are Black…I mean…Who Have Book Deals

http://winningdemocrats.com/gingrich-no-pensions-for-presidents-who-are-black-i-mean-who-have-book-deals-tweets/

Newt Gingrich is a racist jackass. He’s always been a racist jackass. This morning he proved just what a racist jackass he is when he decided that because President Obama has a $45 million book deal that he shouldn’t get the paycheck that every president before him has gotten. Yes, that includes presidents Like Bush, and Bush, and Clinton and Ford and anyone else who ever held office, regardless of how much money they made afterwards:

Bill Clinton and George W Bush, both presidents when Gingrich was relevant, had book deals that earned them millions. Jimmy Carter has written a dozen books. What is it about this particular president and his book deal that has Gingrich so upset? Could it be his…taste in music? No…that seems unlikely. Maybe it’s because he’s a Democrat. But…no…Clinton , and Carter were Democrats and they didn’t get this kind of treatment.

Could it be? No…No way…Do you think Gingrich just doesn’t like Obama…because…he’s black?...

Ohhhhh….OK. So he went from ALL post-presidency expenditures to just a pension and nothing else. For all of them. Because he had to. Could he be any more transparent?

why does ANYBODY even listen to this BIG PILE of SH*T????????
He was voted out of the House, failed all attempts to be nominated for a higher office (sorry, had a "gag reflex" when I tried to type "President&quot , and is a cad/sexist/elitist/misogynistic/disgusting excuse for a human being (did I leave anything out - feel free to add!).

I thought Republicans were all about achievement and "not punishing success"?

Obama earned it as part of the job. Doesnt matter how much other income he has.

Why does gingrich want to demonize rich people?
