In a Southern California campaign appearance, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich encouraged California attorney Orly Taitz to continue her campaign to question Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to hold office.
Taitz, who has filed several lawsuits aimed at securing Obama’s certified birth certificate and introducing evidence of his ineligibility for office, rose to her feet to address Gingrich in Pasadena. She suggested his lagging campaign could only be lifted by raising the issue publicly.
“It could help your campaign like it did Donald Trump,” Taitz said.
Gingrich responded by saying Taitz was better equipped for the role.
“That’s a project you should pursue,” he said.

What the former Speaker meant to say is...
“Well gee, that’s a hot potato that I don’t want to hold since it could burn me, even though the potato would taste great. Instead, you go ahead and I’ll cheerlead from the sidelines. Good luck!”
""That's a project you should pursue," Gingrich responded. Gingrich went on to say that with ongoing economic issues and other mismanagement he saw in the president's agenda, he had "enough issues to debate Obama about."
Gingrich answered correctly that he’s not in a position to question Obama’s eligibility. He already has his hands full right now fighting the big main stream media and who will demonize anyone looking into Obama’s hidden BS past. When you run as a Conservative anti-establishment candidate for national office, you not only have to take on the Dems, you have to take on their omnipotent press.
Not this again! The guy has been president for almost 4 years, give it a rest
I have been a birther all along, but we are maligned and impugned as kooks, so the powers that be will tell you to forget it.
Everything about the emasculation of Obumbo is full of holes,
but we are told to shut up and move on.
Turning the USA into the USSA is far more important, I guess.

“Give it a rest” (?) We will give it a rest, when the issue is resolved! You see, there is this annoying thing called the Constitution.
Very mature.
My friend, you are correct that this is going nowhere. But there is NO EVIDENCE of where he was born. NONE. Fact.
All purported evidence that has been produced is clearly “conjured”. Bogus. Phoney. Fraudulent.
If there were not a real problem, do you really think this would still be talked about. Even by the fringe.
It is not as simple as a different name on his actual birth record (if one exists). It is not as simple as some have suggested that there was no father listed on the COLB. (I do not believe that BHO, Sr. was actually his father)
Nothing about his “story” of his history will pass the smell test.
We have been hoodwinked, by a group who intends to destroy the U.S.
“Other O excusers will show up. Just watch.”

I have no problem with newbies expressing their opinions, but some should remember the wise saying...
Better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Very mature

My maturity trumps yours.

Very interesting. Shows Newt is not afraid to handle a hot potato. The other two wouldn’t dare take such a risk.
