Playing right now...

[Irenic]

Thanks for the heads up! Newt looks tired.

[BCrago66]

Yep. 4 or 5 events today will do it.

[Irenic]

I feel bad for Callista, too. I would hate having to do all that campaigning and glad-handing. I feel for all the candidates in this area, grueling schedules.

I Love the pictures of Gingrich and Callista dancing, beautiful. :) Newt’s face lit up and his eyes twinkled talking about his wife and dancing. He loves her much, eh?

[BCrago66]

Yeah, it was a sweet moment.

[moehoward]

Talking coalition at the convention. Didn’t sound like mit would be part of it....

What was that about Sen Obama and a bill to wipe out the US Geological Survey so we wouldn’t even know what we have???? Anyone have any info on this?

[mardi59]

I loved it when Greta asked him about seeing dance videos. She said she was going to make sure she gets some, and he said the reporter would disappear. He said pictures were okay but no videos.

I would love to see Newt do the chicken dance. That would be hilarious. GO NEWT!!

Looking for more but here:

Gingrich began by providing context.

In 2007, as a Senator, Obama was the only sponsor of a bill which would have eliminated an inventory of offshore oil reserves. This is part of the Left’s great problem today. They really believe in “Peak Energy.” They really believe that we’re going to run out. The government has to be in charge. Jimmy Carter was right. We ought to have gasoline rationing. We ought to make sure we don’t use all this up.

And the problem is they are wrong. Now, their fear is if they actually show us how much energy we have, we will actually want the energy. So they want us to not see the energy because then we can’t ask for it because we don’t have it. And so he literally introduced a bill that was in favor of ignorance. And it is fascinating because what North Dakota has done is that it has blown apart their worldview.”

He did a great job.

[Aria]

Thanks! I’ve been looking also. What he said was astounding to me - that a US Senator would introduce a bill to wipe out the US Geological Survey. At least that is what I heard and pretty sure it’s right because until a few minutes ago I didn’t even know anything about a US Geological Survey so my ears must not be deceiving me.

Appreciate McCain’s service to his country but that comment about the prime minister of Lybia... what a punk.

[Irenic]

I *think* this is it...

Mr. OBAMA introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance

[Christie at the beach]

Thanks, I watched it.

Newt gave a lot of insight about Obama, drilling and the path to convention. We need this man to take on Obama, not Romney, the person who gave the blueprint to Obama care. We all need to be grown ups and get behind Newt. We have to have a strong person to fight Obama’s regime, not the Obama lite. if we don't fight the party, at the convention floor, we are going to get Romney.

SEC. 357. COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORY OF OCS OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESOURCES.

(a) In General- The Secretary shall conduct an inventory and analysis of oil and natural gas resources beneath all of the waters of the United States Outer Continental Shelf (`OCS’). The inventory and analysis shall—

(1) use available data on oil and gas resources in areas offshore of Mexico and Canada that will provide information on trends of oil and gas accumulation in areas of the OCS;

(2) use any available technology, except drilling, but including 3-D seismic technology to obtain accurate resource estimates;

(3) analyze how resource estimates in OCS areas have changed over time in regards to gathering geological and geophysical data, initial exploration, or full field development, including areas such as the deepwater and subsalt areas in the Gulf of Mexico;

(4) estimate the effect that understated oil and gas resource inventories have on domestic energy investments; and

(5) identify and explain how legislative, regulatory, and administrative programs or processes restrict or impede the development of identified resources and the extent that they affect domestic supply, such as moratoria, lease terms and conditions, operational stipulations and requirements, approval delays by the Federal Government and coastal States, and local zoning restrictions for onshore processing facilities and pipeline landings.

(b) Reports- The Secretary shall submit a report to Congress on the inventory of estimates and the analysis of restrictions or impediments, together with any recommendations, within 6 months of the date of enactment of the section. The report shall be publicly available and updated at least every 5 years.

“We all need to be grown ups and get behind Newt.”

I’m incredibly immature. May I be included?

Yep; a real traditional Conservative, there......

[Irenic]

So.
