Gingrich: President Exhibits ‘Kenyan, Anticolonial Behavior’

...

Mr. Gingrich, who is mulling a bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, made the comments to National Review Online. He was quoted by the conservative Web site as saying: “What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anticolonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”

Commenting on a recent article in Forbes by Dinesh D’Souza, Mr. Gingrich told National Review Online that Mr. Obama “is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president.”

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Mr. Gingrich was quoted as saying.

...

“This crushes the hopes of those who thought Gingrich could bring ideas instead of smears to what the G.O.P. was offering,” said Hari Sevugan, the committee’s press secretary. “He’s not a reasonable man that some thought he could be. He’s proven he’s just like the rest of them. With a worldview shaped by the most radical and fringe elements of the Republican Party, which are more dominant with each passing day.”

The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “I don’t even have – quite frankly, George – the slightest idea what he’s talking about.”

Newt is not stupid. I suspect going on the record like this is part of a plan. Hopefully, not a run for POTUS. Newt is a great idea guy, not a POTUS guy.

[Crichton]

Newt is stupid. Go away you Gore-loving has-been.

[TheWriterTX]

Newt would be a million times better as POTUS than the current TOTUS.

Give me Newt anyday!

[hoe_cake]

Robert Gibbs isn’t even on the same intellectual level as Newt Gingrich. No wonder he doesn’t understand, frankly.

Mr. Gingrich told National Review Online that Mr. Obama “is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president.”

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Mr. Gingrich was quoted as saying.

Personally, I think his assessment is dead-on target.

[ComputerGuy]

Gibbs and the word ‘idea’ in the same sentence. That’s good for a laugh or three.

[brownsfan]

Newt could serve a valuable role as, for lack of a better term, a Republican attack dog.

Newt’s latest observation is a direct hit. Newt is absolutely correct in my opinion. And the State Controlled Media gives what Newt says run, (even if it’s just to try to tear him down). That’s a dangerous game for the SCM. Newt’s message gets out to the sheeple, and Newt is smart enough to hold his own with the SCM.

Newt is not presidential candidate material. I still question his core principles and Newt’s ability to do whatever it takes to promote Newt.

[TigerClaws]

Predictive model for future actions. That was the point. Given the opprottunity to side with anti-American, anti-Western positions, Obsma will do so.

Go to the behavior to see if thesis is true.

Favors building Mosque at Ground Zero which 70% of Americans find insulting.

Wishes he had the power to van Koran burning, which is protected First Amendment speech.

So, let’s watch and see if Obama will continue to follow the pattern.

The Forbes article also pointed out Obama views wealth as ill-gotten gain. Similar to Black Liberation Theology, another anti-colonial doctrine.

Therefore, government confiscation of privately held wealth is expected. Government control is the means to redistribution of past inequities. Indeed, Obama sees it as the path to our collective salvation.

[Sloane_Ranger]

Newt finally says it........key words - Obama, Kenyan and Con.

Obama and his MSM minions must be having a fit.

[Slicksadick]

Newt read the Forbes article, a great one BTW.

I agree, Gibbs is a dope. Newt should dumb-down his message, just like the libs say Obama is so smart, We the People do not understand him.

Nice shot across the bow, Newt. I love to see the Feist Rising.

[True Grit]

Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anticolonial behavior, can you begin to piece together his actions

I am surprise they haven't call this a hate crime.

[MrB]

Any truth telling will be met with a fit from the left/MSM.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

What is so difficult about exposing Obama? The MSM, Gibbs et al all dance around it so surreal like they live in another rhealm.

READ THIS GIBBS. It is all documented in Obama’s book dreams of my communist father.

Smart guy, but please do not even think of nominating him for president! And forget Palin too!
Either one would guarantee a loss.

“I agree, Gibbs is a dope. Newt should dumb-down his message, just like the libs say Obama is so smart, We the People do not understand him.”

All Libs are dopes. They are the same people who get wee weed up when some uses the word “niggardly” in a sentence. No brains.

“Personally, I think his assessment is dead-on target.”

I agree. And it is a bit scary. The more I see how this country reacts to an anti-colonialist the more in awe I am of our Founding Fathers, the single most competent group of men ever assembled.

I am so thankful to be an American.

The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “I don’t even have – quite frankly, George – the slightest idea what he’s talking about.” This seems to be the new lib talking point. This morning on Morning Joe, the guy from Politico was saying that Dinesh's article was incoherent.

Well having just read the thing, it is anything but incoherent. It is well thought out and from what I have seen as good a hypothesis to explain Obama's bizarre agenda as any I have read.

They want to brand it as "incoherent" to discourage people from reading it . . . that or they just don't have the intellectual guns to understand. It's about a 50-50 probability.

I know fools like Joe Scarborough most certainly won't attempt to read what Dinesh D'Souza wrote, he isn't smart enough to understand it. Plus, he apparently hates Newt.

Robert Gibbs isn’t even on the same intellectual level as Newt Gingrich.

He and The New York Times are both playing to the Donk base. They know that very few liberals even know about the Forbes article, and fewer still have read it. So they can paint Gingrich's reference as being akin to "fringe conspiracy stuff" without fear that anyone in their base will think, "Hey, wait a minute."

Relying on your voters to be stupid has always been a big part of the Donk strategy, so what's new about that?

One thing that's new is that The New York Times is no longer even trying to hide how closely they are coordinating "the narrative" with the White House press office. This is the second time in a matter of days (the other was the attempted hatchet-job on Boehner) that The New York Times and the White House have been speaking with the same voice. Even those who might want to defend the Times can't countenance that; the Times looks like a government puppet, which will decimate what little credibility they have left.

There's no 50-50 about it. They understand it just fine. They don't want regular Americans to read it. It is the best explanation of 0bama's behavior I have ever seen.
