    Gingrich: Obama Most Dangerous President, Incapable of Defending U.S

    TULSA, OklahomaBarack Obama is “the most dangerous president in modern American history” and the nation's safety can't be assured until he's gone, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Monday.

    Speaking to a large and enthusiastic crowd at a basketball arena on the Oral Roberts University campus, the former speaker said Obama is particularly weak when it comes to confronting the threat of radical Islamic terrorists. 

    "So, defeating Barack Obama becomes, in fact, a duty of national security. Because the fact is, he is incapable of defending the United States," Gingrich said.

    Obama, who ordered raids that killed Osama bin Laden and most of al-Qaeda's top leadership and has orchestrated escalating sanctions against Iran, gets generally good marks from the public on foreign policy and in particular on fighting terrorism.

    But Gingrich said the Obama administration "has intellectually disarmed. It has morally disarmed. It is incapable of describing what threatens us.” He reiterated his charge that the administration refuses to acknowledge the role played by radical Islamists in threatening the United States. He pointed to the arrest over the weekend of a 29-year old Moroccan man who was arrested for allegedly planning to carry out a suicide bombing at the U.S. Capitol. 

    Although a U.S. attorney assigned to the case said the Moroccan man “allegedly believed he was working with al-Qaeda,” Gingrich told the crowd that under the Obama administration it would be “highly inappropriate to describe what motivated (him) because that would somehow be politically incorrect.” 

    Gingrich went on to describe the president’s policies as ones that would “unilaterally weaken the United States”  and decried his handling of Iran's march toward a nuclear program. He said Obama should tell the Iranians that "you need to stop your program before you get hit, because you should be under no illusions. If you refuse to stop your program, long before it is completed you are going to get hit, and we are not in any way going to stop the Israelis from defending themselves."

      When Al Qaida first attacked us in the African embassy bombings, Newt was busy impeaching Clinton as well as cheating on his second wife. But when the US retaliated in Afghanistan and Sudan Newt called the US missile strikes "Monica Bombs."
      The guy is a corrupt, self-serving, megalomaniacal, hypocritical, unpatriotic, draft dodging blow hard.

      Let's review a few things. Dubya was in office 8 months and had been warned of a terrorist plot involving airplanes. Under Obama's administration, Osama and several of his highest terrorists have been killed, and the US has fended off several potentially devastating attacks. Bush lead us into Iraq, but not out of Iraq, althewhile neglecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the Taliban formented its vile crap. And Gingrich, well, he was busy caring for his wives.
      • Oregonorganic 3 mths ago
        Did Obama tell you that?
      • weimarliberal 3 mths ago
        Yeah....everything is a lie but Republican horseshit!
      • silmalila 3 mths ago
        You forgot to call us racists. Yes, we Tea Party people are just the most vile people on earth, unlike the OWS fleabaggers who show such amazing moral values with their raping and theivery and every unsavoury thing imaginable. The worst you can say about OUR rallies is that we leave the place cleaner than we found it. Since when has patriotism become a crime?
        Since liberals have made 'democRAT' a dirty word. I used to be a Democrat until amoral thugs hijacked the party. Oh do let's take paedophilia out of the DSM. Let's have more [dis]honour killings and celebrate the multiculturalism that is destroying the West.
        Yes, the usurper has done so much for America. In fact, he really loves Americans. Especially dead white Christians, no matter what country they hail from. If he gets another term it should be a term in prison for Crimes Against the American People.
        I am outie. Your comments have made me sick to my stomach. Literally.

      what a great combination - Gingrich and Oral Roberts. A non-University meets a non -candidate with both noted for misinformation.

      Ask Osama bin Laden what he thinks about Obama's response to terrorists.
      • GOPcomplainer 3 mths ago
        Can't! He's too busy being dead.
      • Oregonorganic 3 mths ago
        Thank Bush for dealing with Bin Laden, all Obama did was follow through with the plan, America would have crucified him if he didn't. Repeat, all Obama is doing is following through with Bush's plans and policies, no big deal. Meanwhile, Obama has majorly fallen down concerning Iran, Newt is totally right.
      • Miko Okim 3 mths ago
        @Oregonorganic, if all Obama was doing was following through with what Bush did, then Bin Laden, and other top crazies wouldn't have been dead, they'd still be alive.. but please keep drinking your kool-aid and thinking anything positive was because of Bush, and anything negative was because of someone else.. it's laughable, the GOP never take ownership of their failings but love to point fingers and place blame elsewhere, a bunch of cowards

      Newt needs the vote of uneducated voters to stay in the race. He makes a blatantly stupid statement like this with the knowledge that the multitude of right wing no nothings will hail him as some kind of savior. Newts only hope is to use hatred and ignorance as his platform.
      • jd 3 mths ago
        Newt is insane. And, at present getting desperate.
    • adrian  •  Cicero, Illinois  •  3 mths ago
      Do tell us Newt, just how many years did YOU serve in the military? NONE!?! WOW! And you're such a 'tough-talker'!
      • star_spangled_socialist 3 mths ago
        Adrian, you are absolutly right.theres only one MAN that did, thats Ron Paul and he wants to get us out of this silly war!Who are all the soldiers backing?right again Ron Paul.
      • Don 3 mths ago
        Gotta agree with you SSS. I won't vote for Paul, but he is the only one running that I have any respect for. Gary Johnson, 2012.
      • Shelley 3 mths ago
        Brilliant comment Adrian. I suppose you are going to tell us Obama served in the US military?? Gingrich taught strategic courses to military authorities so I think he gets that part. You should do some research of your own. Then perhaps you might catch on yourself.
    • the REAL tc  •  3 mths ago
      Newt will probably not get the nomination of his party....but even on his BEST day, i wouldn't vote for him if you walked into the booth and put a gun to my head. Biggest blowhard in politics.
    • Egg Nash 3  •  Sacramento, California  •  3 mths ago

      Newt Gingrich is a corrupt, self-serving, megalomaniac. In any other country he would be their next Joseph Stalin.
    • GOPcomplainer  •  3 mths ago
      Hmm, remind me Newt how many terror attacks have we had since Obama took Office? None you say?!! And on Bush's watch? One? Hmm not bad. OH! The largest one in history you say?! Hmm that sounds bad...

      I LOVE IT! I couldn't have hand-picked a better group of republicans to challenge the president.
    • JAN  •  Tampa, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      Newt s a scheming cowardly draft dodger.
    • Brendan  •  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  •  3 mths ago
      I think Anwar Al-Awlaki would disagree Newt.
    • jar jr  •  3 mths ago
      Mitt, Newt and Rick seems to forget we had a GOP President three years ago.
      Mr. Obama came into office with a stack full of dirty dishes to start with.
      The MAN is doing a good job not great but good
    • joe  •  3 mths ago
      Gingrich - incapable of finishing his house speaker-ship because he was kicked out by the own party!
    • g  •  New York, New York  •  3 mths ago
      If Obama had HALF the baggage as Newt does, Republicans would be screaming, "Impeach." Republicans are gonna lose big in November and I can't wait.
    • apathythebard  •  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  •  3 mths ago
      More crazy talk from the right that neither makes sense or vibes with what we all know to be true. You must really be lacking when you can't even "lie" right!
    • Brendan  •  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  •  3 mths ago
      I think Osama Bin Laden, his half dozen wives and henchmen would disagree.
