Newt: Pres. Obama would be like Wright
politico ^ | 10/19/08 | KENNETH P. VOGEL

Posted on 10/20/2008 3:07:17 AM PDT by jasonsus1998

Given large Democratic congressional majorities, President Barack Obama would swerve to the radical left and adopt a temperament similar to his fiery and controversial pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Newt Gingrich predicted Sunday.

“If Obama went in and had a moderate House and a moderate Senate, he would probably be a very moderate president,” Gingrich said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

“And his temperament would lead him to much more like [Chicago Mayor] Richie Daley than like Rev. Wright. He’s not going to have that,” said Gingrich, the former speaker of the House and titular leader of the 1994 Republican Revolution.

Most polls show Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, with a wide lead over his Republican rival, John McCain.

And Gingrich predicted that Obama would work with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, both Democrats angling to boost their majorities on Election Day, to take away the secret ballot for union elections and “to eliminate freedom of speech for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. He’s going to have a Congress that wants to raise taxes, a Congress that wants to increase government. And he’s going to have to decide: Is he really going to veto and fight with Pelosi and Reid?”

As if a veto would ever cross his little redistributive mind.

Yes haven’t you heard 3-5 in widening. 5-7 is an explosive lead. 7-10 is a cataclysmic. 10-13 is Apocalyptic. A 1-3 point McCain lead is a statistical anomaly

An Obama win means the barbarians will breach the walls and overrun our society, traditions and law.

“Say goodbye to America”

As a good FReeper said so eloquently, “We always have civil insurrection in our back pockets.”

Our only hope is that small town America saves the world.

And that’s not hyperbole.

What a sick, evil group of people. Demonrats are not good people. Media and entertainers are more of the same and do not deserve any respect for taking an active part in destroying this country. I am sick just to think that I am living to see the end of the United States and can just rest happy that I do not have any children and these fascists will not spread the suffering on with me.

Obama’s campaign actually had the audacity the other day to claim Obama has never supported driver licenses for illegals despite such clear evidence to the contrary. That’s an example of the audacity of this creep. He really is a danger and it is astounding to see what he gets away with and watch the media so obviously cover. We are flatlining because things are really out of hand and extremely scary because the things Demonrats and their media/entertainment minions are doing are really major enough that an armed conflict should occur when our rights are so obviously being taken away and our democracy undermined with their fraud.

“Say goodbye to America”

Why are you giving it away. They were probably people like you in 1776, again in 1861 and in 1941 said “learn to speak German”. They were ignored, I will say good-bye to America when I say good-bye to this old world. You serve no purpose in the pursuit of freedom and property, good-bye.

I suspect that Michelle Obama was opposed to abandoning Rev. Wright. I'm convinced that if Obama is elected the true power of the presidency will Michelle and not Barack.

I can't rid myself of Michelle being a clone of Maine Waters. Both of these women have a perpetual scowls and ooze hatred in their demeanor. If people were repelled by Hillary be doubly aware of Michelle.

B. Hussein's only telling a half truth about licenses for illegal aliens. He's telling the truth, he doesn't want illegal aliens to have them, however there will be no such thing as an illegal alien when he puts through his coming amnesty and opens out borders.

Rev Wright/Rev Phelps . . . what's the difference?

Phelps says, "God hates fags." Wright opened an outreach ministry for gay and lesbian singles.

Since in your mind I serve no purpose, are you recommending euthanasia?
